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!

Opr

Absolutely brilliant at what they do good, but as you say the bad is disgusting, I'd still watch them for goals like that Messi one.

Mark Lawrenson is the most annoying co commentator in the world

I honestly believe Mark Lawrenson passed away sometime in the last few years, and instead, Trevor has 5 buttons in front him with pre-recorded Lawrenson sound bites.

1. "Is that all?" - A sarcastic comment to be used after an impressive statistic is mentioned.

2. "My granny could've scored that" - A multi purpose tool to portray ineptitude on the players behalf.

3. "Aaaaaaaaaaawwwwww" - To be used upon an instant replay portraying a mistake made by the officials.

4. "He needed an extra touch" - When a player misses a goal, this is always the reason.

5. "He took one touch too many" - Unless of course this is the reason.

That little piece of play from Iniesta for the assist was CLASS!

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.

Snuffed?

Barca were crap that half, pure crap. They barely tested the keeper and just kept on passing and passing without going anywhere. A draw would of been the fairest result going in at HT because each team was crap

daveyboy_1ie · 08-03-2011 09:47PM

Unlucky arsenal, stupid thing for fabregas to do. Hopefully it makes for a better second half.

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

Hired by the Racing Post as a tipster, he must know something:cool:

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

You think Wenger sent them out to do absolutely nothing have what must be less than 30% of the ball?

everdead.ie · 08-03-2011 09:50PM

Definite penalty for messi and great goal, fabergas was an eijet there about the way Arsenal are playing they cant get the ball and the midfield are chasing shadows so I don't know what else they can do.

Barca really annoyed me that half with there roling around can't really remember any bad tackles though so no idea what the problem is.

Van Persie was a proper eijet raising his hands though.

Crap? They completely negated Arsenal, yes they didn't make many chances, they're not at their best but they are still clearly head and shoulders above Arsenal.

Imagine what they'd do to Man United!

What a goal by Messi.

44th of the season - what a player.

That is the stupidest statement I've ever read. You obviously haven't watched much football down the years.

They went out for the 0-0, they certainly didn't go out to play their usual game.

TBH Arsenal have put in a solid defensive display and Barcelona remind me of the days when Arsenal play poorly, loads of possession and no end product. Til one fcuk up.

Le King · 08-03-2011 09:51PM

Tony Cascarino's analysis is always spot on. Probably the reason I'm watching TV3. lol

That_Guy · 08-03-2011 09:52PM

COME ON ARSENAL!!!!

Negated? Arsenal haven't done anything, and that's not because Barcelona are playing well, it's because Arsenal won't budge.

Pfft Wes Brown > Barcelona :P

You missed the half-dozen or so excellent tackles from Kos and Djourou in Arsenal's box?

Are you slow? Negated would suggest they stopped Arsenal from doing anything.

Missed the closing down and ball retention?

Each team were crap? Honestly if you were the manager of that Barca team, you'd tell them they were crap at half time?

The effort they put into closing down the arsenal players was unreal, just pure class.

They created the best chances, and scored, a moment of genius from Messi, of course they deserve to be leading.

Aresenal cant get the ball so they cant do much

Yes, they were crap by their high standards and pretty boring to watch, just passing, passing, passing and passing and going no where, I nearly fell asleep tbh

I said that your defending was good but ball position was poor

A Dub in Glasgo · 08-03-2011 09:54PM

Barca were crap in that half? :eek: That is unbelievable, they played Arsenal off the park as Arsenal parked the bus in front of their goal. Barca scored one, should have had a peno and hit the post.

Crap??

Read my edited post. Now that Arsenal will attack, we'll see what they can do. Barcelona will probably just finish this off nice and early now.

Eh he just said Arsenal were crap too.

Not the greatest half of football. With Arsenal having to go for it, this should be an open game.... I hope.

dagdha · 08-03-2011 09:54PM

Barca were crap that first half? They did what they had to do infront of the whole Arsenal team pretty much defending and when they did'nt have the ball they worked and worked to win it back.

Bodhisopha · 08-03-2011 09:55PM

Anyone who thinks Barca were "crap" doesn't have a clue what they are talking about. Clearly!

I'm off to watch the second half!
