arsenal vs barca

[Numeric]

i honestly didn't give arsenal any chance in either leg but they did really well last night

i felt barca under-estimated them a little bit

the second leg could still be the massacre that most people expected though

[ritaheed]

Well played Arsenal in the 2nd half - couple of good chances in the first half aswell, good to see them beat barca though!

[blistanbul]

arsenalllllllll!

[Esox Lucius]

fair play to them, I reckon it will be a different story at the nou camp though. wilshire was awesome last night.

I missed the first half of this, which is a shame, cos it sounded like the half I'd have enjoyed the most. Fair play to the scum, you're going to get a good hard spanking at their joint though. (hopefully)

First half it looked like Barca were gonna spank them, and probably would have done if their second goal hadn't been wrongly disallowed.
Arsenal improved a lot in the second half but, in truth, were pretty lucky to get the win.
Cracking game though, both teams played some great stuff.

[C.O.Prodigy]

was this a good goal disallowed?


edit: @ the end of the first half. I saw no replay of it.

aye, the english media have kind of glossed over it

i don't think it will make any difference to the outcome of the tie

Arsenal created more chances than Barca, they taught us a lesson in keeping the ball, but we taught them a lesson in terms of making your posession count. 95% of the time their posession didn't hurt us, it seems a bit defensive if anything, keeping the ball as far away from their goal as possible to try and make it harder for you to score.

It was pretty even until they scored with a sucker punch, then they were better 'til the end of the half. We came out strong in the 2nd half and were the better team until we took the lead, then we just seemed content to see out the win when we had them on the ropes and could have scored 2 or 3 more goals if we'd kept pushing.

I think we've got the beating of them now, both teams can play their game away from home, so I don't think it'll make much difference that we'll be at Nou camp, Arsenal's away form has been better than our home form in the Prem, but they've got to chase the game now and we've already shown we can decimate them on the counter attack.

Last year we were missing 5 or 6 of our best players and the players that did play lacked confidence and didn't play anywhere near as well as they can, but we're in much better shape this season and took confidence from beating Chelsea, and we can take even more confidence from beating Barca, especially in the 2nd leg.

We've been pressing the ball much harder, and further up the pitch this season, I thought Wilshere was the best player on the pitch, and Koscielny was great for the most part too, so it bodes well for the 2nd leg.

Now if it'd been United, they would have been destroyed by Barca!

Did they? I thought that cunt Adrian Chiles was disrespectful to us throughout, making out there was a huge gap between the teams when we had the better of the chances and had more shots on target.

Also, I think the way we played against them in the 2nd half is the way we'll play against them at the Nou Camp.

you haven't actually beaten barca though have you, this is a two leg format and in reality arsenal have won the first half

barca's recent record in the away leg of champions league ties is fairly poor, they usually do better at home, it was only last season that arsenal pulled two goals back against barca in the first leg only to be sorely beaten in the second, messi will be much more effective at the nou camp, if you honestly believe that arsenal have the beating of barca i fear that you're in for a severe shock

arsenal are in much better shape than last season, but the hard work is still ahead

and why do you say that united would have been beaten? united are a stronger team than arsenal as our recent record against them indicates and the league table, i might add

surely mc united would've offered him a horse and carriage all the way to the red scum land?

[Numeric]

arsene has to build and develop his teams because the club can't afford to make many big signings

it's also the reason why arsenal haven't won a trophy for nearly six years, your squad hasn't been good enough

edit: what am i supposed to be reading on that link? lol

[blistanbul]
