Theo Walcott

with no disrespect to Arsenal supporters....Arsenal is just too weak against world class organized teams, yes they play enjoyable football, but when it comes to when you have to grind it out they fail. Chelsea have proved that time and time again, same with Man. Utd and Man City did it last year.


And to say Arsenal is better than Barca is a pure joke, if they somehow matched up this season again, Barca will smash them because they have an improved team from last year.

Yeah but they haven't had their strongest team for them games, v us they had Arshavin as a lone striker.. like in the second game v Chelsea as well.

What's their strongest team?

If they had two Rvp's, maybe.

Nah but seriously I think they could yes.

U know why Barca want Fabregas... because he is their worst FEAR.

Well they have a chance, but it not very high.

No. Barca>>>>>>>>>Arsenal

Arshavin > Pedro
RVP = Villa
Walcott < Messi
Nasri > Iniesta
Fabregas > Xavi
Song > Mascherano
Clichy < Abidal
Vermaelen = Pique
Koscielny < Puyol
Sagna > Alves
Fabianski < Valdez

Thats my opinion on the players like for like.

Villa is better than vP for sure.
Iniesta is top three attacking midfielders in the world, don't know how Nasri is better.
Xavi > Cesc as proven many many times.
Song has his days but he's not a Masch.
Pique is miles better than Vermaelen.
Dani Alves and Sagna...

What's their strongest team?

Fabianski
Sagna - Vermaelen - Kos - Clichy
Song
Cesc - Nasri
RvP - Chamakh - RvP

Is that it?

You still this team can beat Barca? who have Messi, Villa, Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Pique etc?

Strongest team is probably the one you wrote, but with:

Arshavin - Chamakh - RVP

Arsenal may be able to match up but Messi still does put Barca over the top....

Real Madrid > both though.

I didn't even notice I had two RvP's in there.

That's why I said maybe if they had two RvP's.

Seriously, Fabregas is better than Xavi as an individual player.

Yeah I just figured that out..

To me Cesc still has some to learn from Xavi but I'm confident he will surpass Xavi one day.

Cesc is pretty close to Xavi in my opinion. Xavi has shown some signs of slowing down this season, while Fab has been amazing.

As a player, I prefer Cesc though.

Xavi is class, and is a better passer than Cesc, but Fabregas can do so much more, and as an individual brings more to the team, so much more complete.

Nasri > Iniesta

I think Cesc and Xavi aren't that simliar. I mean Xavi stays deep and just playmakes whereas Fabregas does that AND gets ahead of the strikers at times. I guess Fabregas is a mix of Xavi and Iniesta?

It's hard to say if Cesc is a mixture of them both but weirdly Cesc is getting really quick feet like Iniesta.

Xavi always has higher pass success rates but I think that's cos the way Barca play, a lot of his passes are probably just 5 yarders, Xavi and Iniesta alone have exchanged passes with eachother on average once every 72 seconds.

I like Xavi and have always rated him higher than Cesc but now I think Cesc is surpassing him, he is an all round quality player, I'm gonna be so sad to see him join them cunts when he does.

The way Barce playing football is extremely boring and imo takes the piss. They would literally pass the ball across the half-way line if they could, at least Arsenal go forward at least once a minute. :albino:

And we don't?

We've sorted out all our problems from the last few seasons, bar a new Goalie.

Put our strongest team out against them and we'd more then just make up the numbers mate

Barcelona would still beat you

Maybe.

Or maybe we'd win.

It's not a dead cert. to think Barca would win, that's a stupid assumption.

Oh God.. I really hope your joking?

It's a stupid assumption to say any team would win, we won't know until it happens.

Think Barca would win, and I think only 2 Arsenal players would get into their team
