Fair enough. Think he has got most calls right but i dont think any of the Arsenal cards were warranted. Barca crowd and players just putting pressure on the ref to book them.

Barca should've had a penalty, miss that?

All in all i think the ref has done well.

Talk about undermining such a solid defensive performance with stupidity. we really miss Walcott tonight imo.

Well deserved I must say, complete control over the game.

Did Sam Alardyce give the Arsenal team talk?

For their sake hopefully they come out and play the football we all know they can play in the second half.

No you see this is what happens when you park the bus against superior opposition. You are going to mistime tackles, you have to foul at times. This is why its the way it is when you face a team in the Premier League whose manager will set up for a point against the big teams rather than go out and risk getting thumped against the top teams.

Why has Wenger resorted to this kind of football tonight? Madness.

Fabregas and van Persie have been almost anonymous tonight, Diaby has been worse.

YohanCabeye7 · 08-03-2011 09:40PM

Why play RVP, Fabregas, Rosicky and Nasri at all, if they aren't interested in attacking. Could have had Gibbs and eboue on the wings... When was the last time you seen Sagna and Clichy not play their way out of defence like this?

Fabregas back heel before the goal :pac: Not at it at all.

barca barely tested the keeper. They had all the position but hardly going anywhere and it takes a stupid error for a goal

Arsenal before the goal were playing a great game, they could of used the little position they had better

so not really deserved.

Want Barcelona to score, they're the only team even trying to play football here.

It's not over yet unfortunately. Once Wenger points out at half-time that there is actually an attacking half of the pitch for Arsenal to play in, they might use it and get a 1-1...:(

Straight into my top 5 goals of all time that.

opr · 08-03-2011 09:41PM

All this talk of how Barce play the beautiful game. I honestly can't stand watching them, constantly rolling around after every challenge, taking every opportunity to surround the Ref and always trying to get players booked . Disgusting stuff!

Barca have been brilliant at closing down - Arsenal practically couldnt get out of their own half in the first 45.

That said, Arsenal putting in a good shift defensively and limiting Barca chances at goal.

Messi should have had a peno looking at the replay and I will blame the ref this time considering he was only standing about 7/8 yards from the incident.

daithijjj · 08-03-2011 09:43PM

Abidal should have got the line for grabbing van persie by the throat.

Arsenal just have to stay in the same half of the pitch that they've been doing reconnaissance on for the last 50 minutes.

ugh your dislike for Arsenal is deluding your view

Your the definition of a broken record poster

IvySlayer · 08-03-2011 09:44PM

Fabregas never ever makes mistakes, dunno what he was at. Alumina was awful but any keeper would struggle against the class of Messi. Barcelona are the best in the world, but it's hard to admit it when you see how pathetic they are at card waving.

Based on his expert opinion I think Arsenal will go through....Cascarino is consistent in knowing f*ck all about f*ck all....

Idiotic. They have completely snuffed out Arsenal's normal game. Of course they deserve to be winning, regardless of whether or not they made many chances. If any team deserves to be winning it's Barca.

Barca are Barca, Arsenal are not Arsenal.

They were'nt at it at the beginning of the game, the more and more fouls that Arsenal do to them I'm sure it starts to get annoying with the ref doing anything.

Pepe LeFrits · 08-03-2011 09:45PM

The players look petrified to play at all. Rosicky as usual offers absolutely nothing, and Diaby is not the sort of quick thinker that can play in tight spaces. Wenger has a big job making anything out of this!

As for Cesc playing a backheel on the edge of his own area... utter stupidity. Not for the first time this season either.

Raskolnikov · 08-03-2011 09:45PM

I don't know what was more disgusting from Fabregas, the assist or the pathetic attempt he made to get the ball back. I knew it was a bad sign seeing him fraternising with the Barcelona players at the start of the game, he's supposed to be the bloody team captain of Arsenal ffs!

LOL, because Arsenal went out to play their normal game?
