M.I.A just like he has practically everytime he's faced an English club (last may aside).

Just another reason why the Ladyboy is a better player.

pretty good result for arsenal considering they were outplayed and outclassed. showed really good spirit to come back from 2-0 down and they are still in the tie. will be very tough in the second leg but still a chance.

no chance

at the Camp Nou will be a massacre
 
Barca will be without there 2 centre backs that played tonight. I think it will be a hard game there but they are still in with a chance. They will get there chances like tonight but they have to take them in Barca next week great game of football.
 
Xavi is head and shoulders above any midfielder in the world; made Cesc (although clearly unfit) look like a little boy lost. Absolutely wonderful footballer, along with Busquets, who someone on here laughably referred to as "average" before.

Imagine playing 5-a-side against that lot.
 
clichy is back to being the best LB in the world... about time.
messi was invisible for 80% of the game, didn't even realise he was on the field until the were substituting him.

diaby had a shocker...
we were totally outplayed for the 1st 60 minutes of the game, after that it was a an even contest with us just ahead.

with their 2 main CB's out of the 2nd leg, arsenal are definitely going to take this. i think they'll be riding the wave created by that GREAT comeback. slot nasri into midfield, start walcott as the RWF, the no fabregas problem solved.

Clichy better than Evra and Cole? Not in the same league mate. Didnt have his worst game tonight (as it was 2 on 1 at times), but Alves got beyond him far too much for my liking; often finding himself in absolute acres of space down the right. He was better on the ball though, i'll give you that.

As for the two center backs, im sure Milito and Marquez will be more than capable of dealing with the sole threat of Bendtner; but I agree that Walcotts pace is your best chance of nicking the away goals you require.

2-2 at home is a pretty terrible result in Europe, it was the manner of the draw that makes it seem a positive 1. Fair play for showing great character though, it was an enjoyable game and I hope your lot go on to win the league.

No offence mate but Clichy isn't even the best left back in the league. Evra, for me is the best left back in the world, absolutely brilliant player. Thought you did a good job tonight but with no Fabregas at the Nou Camp your midfield will get horribly overrun. Toure played the champions league final at centre back didn't he? Then theres Millito and Marquez who are both cracking centre halves. I think you'll struggle but good luck and I hope you win the league.

He's a good player but not in Evra's or A.Cole's league yet.

Clichy best in the world? Isn't he the current, reigning third choice left back for France?

Agreed it should be an entertaining game as Arsenal will have to go their and attack (which they would have done anyway) so there should be goals and I expect them both to forget about the away goals rule and just go for it!

It should make a good watch and while I agree with these`guys that Arsenal have a chance, they will need to have the same luck they had in the opening 15 minutes when Barca could have scored 3-4 for the whole game as Barca are a team that could run riot at any time.
 
Could have been lot worse tonight will settle for the result . They are the best
team have ever seen play against us . They battered us for sixty minutes but we
showed character to get back in to it , think we will get an away goal in nou camp .<br /><br />-- Thu Apr 01, 2010 1:21 am --<br /><br />Could have been lot worse tonight will settle for the result . They are the best

Barcelona are head and shoulders above anyone in european football,

can't see Arsenal getting a result at the nou camp if i'm being honest, as good as they are the gunners if Barca score early the flood gates could open,

Barca on the counter attack is absolutely frightening.
 
Cant believe people think Arsenal even deserved anything from that game.
STATS:

Barca shots 23, 10 on target
Possession 65%

Arsenal shots 6, 3 on target
Possession 35%

At the nou camp I would not be suprised to see Barca put3/4 goals past Arsenal. They are just impossible to stop when in form.

They should have battered us and should have been
three up by half time but the fact they didn't is the
hope I'm clinging on to . We will score out there and if we
can hang on to
that we go through . Am keeping the faith as they have puyol
out but we have cesc missing :-(

Keep the faith. Maybe you score a goal but Messi will score at least 2 at home...
