442football, Arsenal is not yet out of the Champions League competition next year.

The Gunners sit fifth in the Premiership standings with 58 points -- four behind Tottenham (62) with a game in hand on the Hotspur.

However, #5 Arsenal will need for their north London neighbors to drop some points in their two remaining matches vs. #8 Bolton (4/30) and at #10 West Ham (5/7).

The #1 (Chelsea) and #2 (Manchester United) spots in the Premiership automatically qualify for the 2006-07 Champions League, while the #3 (Liverpool) and #4 (Tottenham) positions will participate in Champions League Qualifiers next Fall. #5-7 go to the UEFA Cup.

Also, at halftime in the Estadio El Madrigal, Arsenal and Villarreal are scoreless in the Semifinals of the Champions League with the Gunners clinging to a 1-0 advantage.

GERMAN STEEL! Jens Lehmann, Germany's #1 goalkeeper, just sent the Gunners to their first Champions League final ever with an unbelievable penalty kick save in the 89th minute. What a pathetic call by the referee to try to force his influence on this match.

The PK was BS. Guys were getting absolutely mugged in the box on every corner kick and he called nothing all game (up until the 88th minute). If you weren't using a knife or a gun, the ref was letting it go.

I felt bad for Riquelme...too much pressure.

Interesting to note that Arsenal's only shot of the match came in the 90th minute. Good job by the Gunners, hope they take it all.

Sol Cambell is English. He played last night and is a beast when he's healthy.

Ashley Cole is as well.
