Freestyler said:The first half was like when we used to do a training game using one half in playing for college, using one goal and one team defending with the other attacking, then giving it the attacking team the ball back on the halfway line whenever the defending team won it.
Having watched barca so many times, it's all becoming quite clear to how and where they play. every single time i've watched them 80% of their football is played down the ring wing/right hand side of the pitch.
Either that or it's get one midfielder forward, to use to play one-two passes around the 18-25 yard mark, Alves tonight bombed forward more times tonight than Kolarov has in the last 5 games.
Barca use the wing backs, but it's ALWAYS the right hand side when they do it. teams get dragged into holding a high line, the midfield of iniesta and messi drag the defence high, then the wing back (alves) or extra midfielder (xavi) charge forward for the through-balls.
their passing is on another level, but when you take into context of Barca's game, it's so easy to see where and how they play their football, but even still it's literally too hard to defend against.

As i just said, after that i can put everything else aside and support the english club.
but you questioned why anybody should support barca over another english club.
niall_mcfc said:Arsenal fans need to admit they lost to the better team. Over the 2 legs Barca where clear and deserved winners. They got a 2-1 win at home and clearly went to Barca to sit back and play on the counter. They moan and moan about how the Arsenal players get unfair treatment on the pitch from opposition players and referees yet they think its ok to go to Barca and kick 10 bells of shit out of every player they could. Wilshere was at it all game and so was RVP. They where lucky to only finish with 10 men because the centre back cant spell his name should have got a 2nd yellow for the penalty and Wilshere should have been booked early on.
They where outplayed in every aspect of the game tonight and Barca should have had 5 or 6. I dont think the red card was harsh because European referees are a lot stricter. When you are on a yellow card you shouldnt encourage the referee to book you again. RVP knew he was offside so all he had to do was leave the ball and run back but no being the twat he is he decided to have a shot knowing the whistle had gone. It took him a good 30 seconds to think up of an excuse to why he shouldnt be off.
Glad they are out now as they will have a better chance of beat the rags to the title but they could now suffer a confidence knock following their lsat 3 results, lost 2-1 in CC final, drew 0-0 in league and out of CL. A month ago i ruled us out of the title race after we lost to the rags but now im thinking we are back in it. They where unbeaten not long ago and now they have lost 3 games in the space of a month. Chelsea could still win it also but i think Spurs are out of it as they are more concerned about winning the CL which i think they have a very good chance at if they can avoid Real and Barca until the final or altogether.

how about abidal trying to strangle van persie, how about alves putting his hands on nasris face, adriano did the same as wellmancboy123 said:Im curious gooney and any other arsenal fans you are hammering the referee for putting you out of the champions league. How about the non award of a blatant penalty, how about not sending RVP for pushing alves in the face, how about not sending koscelny off for the penalty its easy to condemn the ref but the fact is arsenal got away with plenty last night as well
