I have turned on the first atdhe link for the semi final and it opened up a new window in Quick Time
It is ITV and the news is on.
I guess I have an hour of brit TV before the match
There is a Labor Party Political Broadcast
I then have to sit through ITV News(the other was London News) then an episode of Emeradale Farm. I CAN'T WAIT!!
I have the Sky Link on atdhe and it is MUTV build up
MUTV is outside the Emirates with Little Lou!
Lovely Jubbly
The Fella turned MUTV to ArsenalTV and then put it right back
United's team
VDS
O'Shea
Rio
Vidic
Evra
Fletcher
Carrick
Anderson
Ronaldo
Rooney
Park
That is one change from the first leg. Tevez to the bench for PARK!!
Kusczcak, Berbatov, Scholes, Giggs, Tevez on the bench
Crowd behind the MUTV very boisterous
singing
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou MaCari
Arsenal Starter:
Almunia, Sagna, Fabregas, Toure, Nasri, Van Persie, Walcott, Song, Djourou, Adebayor, Gibbs.
Emerdale Farm has started!
Hi Dave, I'm here and looking forward to a goalfest!
Hey Bob
Have you gotten any links going
Great build-up on MUTV with interviews outside the Emirates and in the local pubs.
Here's the one I'm on through Justin:
http://www.justin.tv/vip_football_2
Very Nervous!!
We have tough game ahead of us.
If Arsenal get a goal early, they could be rampant!
I have the atdhe link for Sky Sports is the MUTV one
I have the first Match link being ITV.
Emerdale Farm is almost over
I didn't even know that ESPN2 has a pregame!
Now it's Gary Pallister in the studio. I'm wondering if the game will come on as scheduled on this channel. I hope so. It's really clear.
Ah, the geezer running this channel has just switched over to ITV 1. It's up and really crystal clear. Lovely!
MUTV link just changed to ITV
My other ITV link went out. The old MUTV link is the ITV one
Toure and Djourou in the center of Arsenal's defense. That doesn't seem to solid to me.
Great link you sent me
Sounds like you're on the same one I'm on. Mad Jens and Ready Ted in the studio.
Yeah, it's exceptional. I hope it lasts.
Andy Townsend thinks it's time for Arsenal to "show their true colors."
Wow - back to MUTV during the commercials. This geezer is really on top of his game!
Every commercial this geezer turns it to MUTV.
HE MUST BE A UNITED FAN!!
Well done Mate!
Boy, Sammy Mac looks ancient!
ESPN have given up finding out what color shirts the teams are wearing. They just have balls in front of their set.
I think United are wearing blue tonight.
Last time we wore blue in the European Cup in London was the final in '68
Never won at the Em but always scored
Interesting
Louuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!
I disagree with a goal will do it. I matters when the goal is scored. Arsenal could win 3-1 easily
Good luck Steve if you are watching
I mean that.
Lou lou skip to my lou
You notice that Lou and the MUTV reporter are fenced off from the United yobbos walking into the ground.
Up nice and early on Saturday for your lot's big game!!
No Prem game early
Bugger. The link is out
Both of them are out!
Tried the first link on atdhe and it is ESPN
Bugger - I'm frozen. The Atdhe links seem to be connected to ESPN2 unfortunately. I'm gonna search for ITV.
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the weekend. Great games both days.
Let me know
We are so picky!!
Teams in the tunnel...!
Here come the teams
VSS seems to be ITV
They are off to commercial as the teams come out
What do you think about the teams?
Keep your head Roon
No cards please
ITV are finally back on VSS
BBC do it so much better
No luck yet...still searching...
Last defeat in the CL was the second leg of the semi against Milan
VSS is working for me
It is ahead of the TV
Here we go....!
I can't get anything on VSS but I'll keep trying.
United already had a couple of shots on goal at this time last week
Decent cross in from Sagna but knocked out. Good early pressure from the Arse.
Phew! That could have gone anywhere! Out for a corner.
Almost in off a deflection
Corner comes to nothing
Corner in and VDS is impeded by Ade.
Vidic is being told to go off for treatment. He's been bloodied somehow.
United look nervous!
For once, the Emirates crowd is roaring on their team.
They do look a bit jittery. They'll need to hold out while Arsenal go through this initial onslaught.
United look at sixes and sevens
Arsenal have started in fifth gear. They won't be able to keep up this furious pace for long.
Roon almost plays in Anderson!
Weather the storm United
Adebayor and Van Persie both wide left knocking crosses in - why?!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PARK!!!
I knew he should have played!!!
The defender skips
GOAL! Park has scored the vital away goal against the run of play! Gibbs fell over and presented Park with the opportunity.
Keep it tight!
That was all about a great feed from Anderson and a super pull back from Ronaldo. But Gibbs should have been able to clear it out easily and Wenger knows it. Arsenal need three goals now!
Taxi for Wenger....?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How far out was that!!!
Still very early
GOAL! Ronaldo! 2-0! It's all over!
WHAT A GOAL!!!!
Where was the wall? Almunia beaten at the near post. He'll want that back for sure.
Arsenal's defensive frailties showing themselves again. At the very least they'll need a world class keeper, a world class center back and a world class defensive midfielder in the summer.
Ron should have been in there too
Not over yet...there is far too much time left.
What did United do against Spurs?
Get another one and bring off Roon
No cards
Arsenal have to throw absolute caution to the wind. If they don't get two back by half-time, they might as well not come back out for the second half.
The game is wide open now. Let's have some goals!
Great play from United
Great passing, great communication by Fletcher to Ron, Great shot by Roon, great save by Almunia
ooh, Ronaldo takes the ball off of Vidic head
Oooh, Rooney not too far away from United's third there - tipped away by Almunia.
Nice defending by Rio
VDS collects the corner
I don't think it is over
Arsenal can't score this half
Corner now to the Arse....
VDS collects.
You're like my Red Sox fan friend in Florida. He doesn't start breathing easily until the last ball goes into the glove in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Tommy Smyth is a complete idiot. That was a total howler from Almunia. He should have easily saved that one from Ronaldo. Derek Rae is pointing that out right now.
Anderson blew it there.
Arse get a corner from it
Are you watching ESPN?
I have the VSS going strong with ITV
Good run from Nasri, unleashing Theo. Walcott's got to get into this match soon.
Whenever I try to pull it up on VSS, I get loads of pop-ups including porn. I can't afford that at work.
Understood. I get those sometimes but not today
Rooney's another one. ManYoo could be 18-0 up and he'd still be haring after every wayward ball and chattering in the ref's ear about something.
Arsene looks perplexed
Settle Roon Settle
Did you see that about United wanting Ribery because Ron is going
Why would you want to go?
Arsene doesn't look happy. I wouldn't be either. I think it's time for the Wenger era to be over. He doesn't ever win anything!
There are two theories about Ronaldo's leaving: that he feels more comfortable in Spain and that he's got nothing else to prove or win at ManYoo.
Tommy is just starting to figure out that football is influenced by money?
If it gets worse for Arsenal before half, do you think the fans will leave?
Some decent slow build-up from Arsenal but they need to step it up a bit. They need two goals by half time.
I was a little worried what the ref was calling there. I thought he was pointing to the spot
Ron is on fire tonight!
Yeah, they'll be back at Finsbury Road tube stop by quarter of nine.
You are a worrywart.
I'll tell you this much - if Leeds are 0-2 up on Saturday after ten minutes, I'm not gonna be worrying. I'll be doing the Leeds United Calypso!
Ref hasn't flashed cards willy nilly tonight.
Keep it up
Free kick chance for Ron
He did take him down
That Gibbs slip and the Almunia flap look even worse on the replay. Are we sure that there isn't a fix on this match. I'm starting to wonder.
DOESN'T HIT THE WALL!!
Easy save by Almunia
BTW, Leeds will be two up and you will send me video of you dancing to the Leeds Calypso
Another free kick chance for Ron now. Straight at Almunia.
Rubbish cross from Nasri. Ade and RVP haven't had a sniff.
He does roll around a bit and dive but he does get hacked down all the time!
Another Ronaldo free kick chance....
Arsenal are getting very frustrated with the ref
The referee's been bought off too. This match smells fishy to me.
Keep it tight United,
Keep it tight
Five minutes to half time. Are you feeling more relaxed?
I figured you'd say that
Blow the whistle ref
I predict a ManYoo-Chelski rematch. Do you think that JT will step up to take another pen?
Keep your head Roon
Every time he loses possession I am scared he is going to go bonkers and lose his head
Nice passing again from United ending in Ron having shot easily saved
That's it for the first half
Could not have been better for me
Keep it tight early in the second please
Atdhe has died on me. I'm off to set up my classroom and I'm hoping that I can get a good link for the second half.
The ITV bloke said that Arsenal have had dreadful luck and deserved better. What has he been watching??
ESPN did find shirts but got them wrong!!
United aren't wearing white
41 yards out for Ron's goal
They are off in the second half
The stand looks empty on the second tier. Let's hope it is just the prawn sandwich eaters like at Wembley
No early goal please
Eboue is on for Gibbs
Get a goal and then bring off Roon and Evra
Becks in the crowd
He is still a United fan!
I'm back and the second half has started. I've got a Spanish language ESPN link up now.
United starting shaky again like the first half
The ITV bloke is mad. Arsenal were so poor in the first half that I suspect the Asian gangsters had something to do with it.
security scare in that section
Surprised they started the half
One section of the stadium seems to have been evacuated and they've got bomb sniffing dogs up there.
I don't know why these sides are even playing out this second half. This match is so over. They should have shaken hands at half time and gone out for a pint.
ooh,
Ron almost in there again
Nice save
Ronaldo nearly adds #3. Good save Almunia.
Almunia tips over a speculative shot from Anderson. The Spaniard is trying to redeem himself.
If you think about it, this result will confirm the dominance of United and Chelski for the fifth season running. When was the last time either Liverpool or Arsenal to say nothing of other Premiership sides actually won anything?
RVP with a rubbish free kick. Not really a shot or a cross really.
Still thirty five minutes in this one. Blow up ref - we're bored of this.
Spurs in the League Cup
That is it
Who do you think will go through tomorrow?
What's Arsene waiting for? They need bloody four goals!!
The Em sounds like the Highbury Library
Chelski tomorrow. It'll be CL Final 2.0. It'll go to penalties and the side who have more English players take them will lose. How's that?
Park slashes one across the box
No one there for the touch
As long as they're wearing red!
Nasri should have done better
I hope we can do this to the Gunners at Old Trafford in the league
I think Arse Shaven will have something to say about that
Bloody hell - it's a rout!
YES!!!!!!!!
GREAT BREAK
GREAT PASS
GREAT FINISH
IT IS NOW OVER!!
Nice sweeping move from ManYoo there. 3-0!
Bring off Roon and Evra right now
Did you see how fast Ron ran for that?
I wonder if Arsenal have ever been beaten by three goals at the Emirates?
Giggs on for Anderson?
Come on, take off Roon
Theo's coming off clapping the crowd. What for? He was rubbish tonight. Absolute rubbish.
Arsene finally brings on a striker
Evra off now for Rafael.
There goes Evra... he is available for the Final
Now bring off Roon for anyone but Tevez and Scholes
Tevez has a yellow and Scholes is a red card ready to happen
If Arsene had any sense at all he'd have made two or three changes at half time. Adebayor and RVP have been complete pants in this match. I'd have had Vela and Bendtner on straight away.
Berbatov on for Rooney
Finally
Berba now on for Roon.
Arsenal need five goals in twenty five minutes. A steep task? Yep.
2101: GOAL Arsenal 0-3 Man Utd (agg 0-4)
That is an absolutely stunning goal. From Arsenal's corner, Ji-Sung Park passes to Cristiano Ronaldo, who backheels the return pass to Park. He then releases Wayne Rooney down the left and Ronaldo has put in a lung-busting run into the box to apply the finish. Sensational if you don't me saying.
Berbatov looks useless
I thought he was such a class player
He seems to have no pace and can't dribble or pass
No urgency from the Arse now. It's clear they've gotten a pay off. This is ludicrous!
2108: BBC 5 Live's Alan Green reckons it was 63 minutes before Edwin van der Sar had to make a save, which largely sums up Arsenal's night.
Nasri out of the final with a yellow...well, first game next season
Beckham liked that third goal. Bloody Judas!
Bendtner into the side netting.
He's still a United fan
How can you stop...it's in your blood
I just looked at the Beckham celebration
Well done lad
You should have never left
You could have grown old gracefully like Giggs
Penalty to the Arsenal
RED CARD!!!!!
are you kidding me?
Was he the last man?
It wasn't even a foul
Can we appeal?
GOT THE BALL!!
RVP hits it in
Is it over?
He was last man but the contact was minimal. I'm sure that there will be an appeal.
RVP knocks in the penalty for a consolation goal. 1-3
All of ITV think it was not a penalty
Alright, four goals in fifteen minutes now.
ITV says it would only be the wrong man being carded can be appealed
I don't like that rule at all. Either give a pen or a red card but not both.
Shut it
I totally agree.
If it is the last man outside the box... send him off
That's not true. Don't you remember the JT red card for "last man back" that got overturned by the FA earlier in the season. I think it was against Citeh. They appeal red cards all the time.
I'm just saying that Arse need four goals, I'm not saying I want it to happen. Don't get shirty with me!
It looks like SAF is talking to the 4th official. I think they were talking about if the ref can change his mind
I'm off for my class. I'm going to set them to do the course evals and will be right back for the last five minutes or so.
I remember that but in the Champions League there is no appeal. That is what ITV are saying.
I wonder if the Ref can change his mind without appeal
That was nasty by Adebayor
That could have been red
I am very glad Roon is off
Fab has two chances at it but doesn't take either one
2119: Manchester United cannot appeal against that decision apparently, so Darren Fletcher will miss the final.
Graham Taylor on BBC 5 Live: "It takes something away from the game, that red card. You feel for people like Fletcher. He's a first-class pro."
Fab almost gets in at the back post
Stop it Arsenal
BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at the Emirates: "If there is any justice, referee Roberto Rosetti will review that decision and see that he has treated Darren Fletcher desperately harshly there. Fletcher clearly got a touch on the ball and did not deserve a red card. United's officials seem to be seeking reassurances from the fourth official that the referee will indeed look again and they have every right to pose the question
Ron hits one over
He is hitting them well tonight
I'm back and Ronaldo's upset about something. I have no idea what. His side is on its way to Rome. What more does he want - a tiara?
My hunch is that Rosetti was just covering the spread with that penalty call. United were only supposed to score two tonight in order for the Hong Kong cartel to collect.
