Yes, I hope they arrange a friendly in the summer or something.ahlycotc wrote:I'd love to see a Barca v Stoke match so people would just shut up about the hypothetical.
Seriously though, it's a horrible hypothetical for what I said in my last post.
A TRUE hypothetical would be Barca versus Man City. Remembering how Man City blacked out Arsenal with 10 men, I can see them doing the same against Barcelona with the added effect of being able to counter with Tevez if they had 11 men. Now that'll be an interesting match. (though probably just a repeat of Barca vs Inter

Yeah, he isn't allowed to be in your squad. So of course he wouldn't get in.

They'd pass the ball all day around the Stoke City defenders and find gaps really quickly. They'd probably end up with a rugby scoreline considering EPL defenders aren't as intelligent and mobile as La Liga defenders. Stoke players kicking Barca out of the park? They'll all be too worried of getting their second yellow after 15 minutes to do so.

Man City did not have 10 men when they parked the bus at the Emirates. They had 10 men at Eastlands when Nasri ripped them apart and we won 3-0. Tevez was useless on the break at The Emirates because City couldn't control the ball for more than 5 seconds and he's not that fast.polska. wrote:Yes, I hope they arrange a friendly in the summer or something.ahlycotc wrote:I'd love to see a Barca v Stoke match so people would just shut up about the hypothetical.

Guys...
Man City went super defensive and kept Arsenal from scoring for most of the game, did they not?
The way Arsenal played that game they could've went 5 or 6 up against another team. But that's not even the point I was trying to put across, if Man City had 11 men that day they could match Arsenal and would give a good game to Barcelona, and that any hypothetical should be with them, not Stoke or some other shit team.

Polska, we did have 11 men that day.
FYI I think we would have battered Arsenal at home if we had 11. Hit the post in the opening 5 minutes I think? We were in good form at that point. If we played them now with 11 we'd probably lose though.

You guys are confusing me now.

I think you did.
When we had 10 it was CoMS and we lost 3-0.
When we had 11 it was Emirates and we drew 0-0.

He would play for my local team till he was 70 years old.
But for Arsenal I dont think he would be in the starting XI. Song is better suited for us and Vermaelen / Djorou are better central defenders. Might have started over Wilshere but hes been arguably our best player this season and if he stayed like that Busquets would not be in Arsenals strongest XI.

Polska how were you right? You basicly said City stopped Arsenal with 10 men and if they had 11 men they could have done better and matched us.. so if that same team played Barca with 11 it would be a good game, but they did have 11 men when they stopped us scoring anyway and couldn't get out their own half.polska. wrote:Right... so i was right initially then, you guys are just being difficult.

Didn't he mean ten men behind the ball? I guess it's how you interpret what he said.The-Reporter wrote:Polska how were you right?
