I know, what a shit ref.. should have given a penalty for Messi, should have sent Van Persie off for smacking Alves, and shouldn't have sent off Van Persie for kicking the ball.

Abidal raised his hand to Van Persie, why aren't you mentioning that? Diaby was sent off something similar on Joey Barton. Every time an Arsenal player touched a Barca player it was a foul, not the same the other way round. We lost because they were the better team but we could of pinched it.

That's why when Diaby touched Messi in the box no penalty was given

Oh wait.

Forgot about it, he should have been sent off as well.. what I'm saying is you were shite.. refs were shite for both sides over the 2 legs and it evens out.. no excuses for Arsenal they were pussies in the second leg.

Hang on.... Let me just....

Barcelona too' good, I mean it was like a training match to be fair, one team attacks and one defends, thats what I was watching tonight.

I tell you what, he's got an argument, certainly the best team I've ever seen. And it's funny as well, people say coming 1st and 2nd in the group stages of the Champions League never really matters. Well it's cost Arsenal's 2011 Champions League, soon as the draw came out, the writing was on the wall. That game in Shaktar has proved costly, 'cos finishing 2nd in the group, got them tied against Barcelona.

Did you bet on Arsenal?

Nope, I never fancied it to be fair, I was jus' playing Devils Advocate in the Arsenal Thread yesterday saying I was thinkin' about throwing a bet on. No fucking way I was ever in a million years gunna put £50 on Arsenal to win on the night.

If you notice, when we was predicting the score in here tonight, you'll see I said '' Barcelona 3-1 Arsenal ''.

Just fuck off Pip man, seriously. Becoming a troll with your new name. Nobody cares about stupid gay songs in Spyro or Pokemon, and your probably the only guy that thinks what you just stated.

After the OG, Barcelona were rocking, the ref got paid and didn't even show Van Persie a yellow card, just straight red and in a stadim of 100,000 mad fans singing at the top of their lungs you couldn't hear a thing, when Jamie Redknapp was speaking when the stadium was half full you couldn't hear a word he was saying, the ref was a total cunt, the penalty was one where Pedro jumped over Koscielny's leg and got a penalty.

I don't see how Barcelona cheated ?

Arsenal always need to feel the need to moan about something. Yes, it wasn't a sending-off, but they deserved nothing.

Are you trying to forget you support Liverpool?

That was poor.

I understand him liking Barcelona but he creams them.

And this is what you said when I predicted Barcelona would win.

"Come on the people writing Arsenal off, do not make the school boy mistake. Football just doesn't work like that. It's not FIFA of Football Manager, this is real football. Some of the things I've seen is just ridiculous:

'' I see Barca scoring at least 4 ''

'' I'll burn my own money and video it if Arsenal win ''

'' Arsenal haven't got a hope in hell ''

Did anyone think we could beat Barca in 07? Difference then was they were actually '' the '' European Champions at that stage. Infact I even remember a certain Paul Merson, he was asked wether Liverpool could beat Barca, he actually laughed. Came out and apologised after it.

Fact is Arsenal are a fantastic football team and can beat anyone when their on song. This is not a pub team coming up against Barcelona, it's Arsenal, currently running 2nd in the best league in World football.

Arsenal have got a great chance. As have Barcelona aswell. It'll be a great game thats for sure."

They were rocking so they put Villa through and your keeper saved you.

In a nutshell.

It was men against boys.

You feel that should that late chance fallen to Van Persie it might have been different.

Near the end you could hear , "Shall we sing a song for you". So unless all the Barcelona fans speak English I don't think it was that noisy all the time
It could just be the arsenal fans singing there shits songs though?

GoalS? There was one......to be fair though Messi wasn't called offside in the 2nd half and he hit the side netting (when he was offside)

Also, Barca were slowly working their way into the game, who's to say they were not going to finish off a chance before the red card?

What the flip? Before the red card the score was 1-1. Who's to say Barcelona wouldn't score again before the red?.....er everyone...because they didn't.

Based on both legs? Arsenal were better in the 1st leg and in this one they were outclassed but defended well until the red card and Barcelona weren't clinical. It's not the creation of chances it's about taking them.....in the end I'd say there was a 75% chance Barcelona would've gone through if Van Persie wasn't sent off...but that 25% still lingers.

I never said we weren't shit but all it takes is one chance like Bendtner had, if that had been Van Persie I could be sitting here happy right now. Barcelona were the better team by a country mile and deserved to win but it's just the thinking what if.

What if Messi's goal counted at Emirates?

Ok, you've posted that twice now, I seen it the first time.

In fact, reading that, what have I said wrong? I stand everything I said, oh and by the way, I was talking about the game at the EMIRATES. And I was proved right as Arsenal won after all the dramatics in the 1st leg thread saying Barcelona were going to win 4-0, 5-0.

After 180 minutes of football. It ended 4-3. I said both teams had a great chance at qualifying, which they did. So I don't know why you're trying to wipe egg in my face, 'cos what I said, pretty much happend.

Karma.

Wenger's tactics were confusing. 24% possession, 0 shots on goal, 200 odd passes (compared to 800 for Barcelona) is perplexing.

75 %? Can you stop plucking out faulse statistics?

If RVP was still on the pitch I believe Barca would have still scored.

I said goal(s) because they should have been given a peno.
1st leg Barca were better, doesn't mean the better team always win.
Based on the two legs Barca deserved to win.

Sorry but Barcelona wasn't rocking once Arsenal got a goal. They in fact played even better.

The penalty was stonewall, even Koscielny knew it was.

Yeah wenger set out to have 24% possession

Thats stats not tactics

Stats back up his tactics. Sit back, allow Barcelona all the possession they wanted, and hope that they wouldn't score. Doesn't make sense. Barcelona was always going to score.
