agreed.

I guess the one good thing you could say about Arse's performance is that perhaps Wenger figured that Villareal are at their best on the counter attack. So Arse just got everyone behind the ball and said "play through us if you can". Which for the most part they couldn't.

Risky (and very dull) strategy though.

Anyways, I was very pleased with the outcome. Still optimistic that Arsenal vs Barca could be a really good final. And really hope Arsenal win (personally I can't stand Barcelona, even though they play fantastic football....)
