Chad Sexington Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I blame Rosicky. They were shown up today though, Champ. It was like watching Scotland against a really top international side. They just could't hold on to the ball. The gap in quality was massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjl Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Any pure footballing fan who can not appreciate how Barca play football don't know jack shit. Not IMO that is FACT. Barca just pure footballing brilliance. They are without doubt the best side I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be the same 'arsehole club' who routinely play brilliant football, don't spend silly money on players, and were bloody close to going through against the best club side seen in Europe in at least two decades? And would that be the same 'arsehole manager' whose methods and intelligence dragged English football out of the dark ages, and has tonight spoken extremely well about a scandalous sending off? Despite his intense disappointment, said 'arsehole manager' is still talking to the media - unlike his most famous contemporary, who's even stopped talking to his own club TV station!

It's so hard for football fans to warm to that: he just doesn't seem like one of us. And as the Fiver put it yesterday, whereas other managers stalk the touchline yelling "hit the runner!" or "get rid!", Wenger's whole demeanour is like that of a maths professor. x + y = x [a-b] or 73% or Bendtner < x where x = Nasri - (Chamakh + Walcott + Arshavin).

The Old Tolbooth Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Barca can be a right dirty side at times. The post match sky jack off session was realy quite boak inducing. Dirty as in knowing when to mix it when they need to? I think you'll find most sides can be dirty, but they don't all have the attributes of Barca. What I mean by that is that you could take a team like Man City for example who are full of cracking players, but they don't work together as a team, but instead are full of individuals who are Billy big shots. Barca are full of individuals who all work extremely hard for each other and play like a proper team should, they literally have it all! They do what they need to do to get through games, and they have a lot of skill on show to get there (and so they should really with the money on show). My main point is that there seems to be a different mentality in Barca than what there is anywhere in England, whereby they seem to appreciate who they're playing for and appear to enjoy doing so, and not just for the money. Man City & Chelsea players etc give me the impression that all they care about is the cash on offer at times, and not what success means to the club they're playing for which is why they will never conquer Europe. The match tonight as a contest was embarrassing, Barca were so far in front of Arsenal that had it been a boxing match it would have been stopped in round 2!

Coco Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Barcelona missed or passed up at least 20 great chances over the 2 legs. Arsenal hardly had any chances and 2 of their 3 goals were basically Barcelona throwing it into their own net. They could have few complaints if they had been beaten about 10-1 over the 2 legs. Hopeless referee though. Clear penalty for Barcelona when Messi was tripped and farcical sending off of Van Persie. However, Van Persie should earlier have been booked twice (he didn't get booked for going over the top on Messi). So justice done really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spanish league and the CL are both a travesty, all about the Benjamins, nothing to do with sport at all. Just like the SPL really. I trust you skip Hearts v Old Firm games then? The only reason it was a foregone conclusion last night is because Bacelona are superior to Arsenal in every department. Yes Van Persie's red was very harsh, but what about the stick on penalty that Barca should have had? What about their completely legitimate goal they had chopped off in the first leg?

rossthejambo Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The red card was extremely harsh IMO, but I doubt it made a difference anyway. Barcelona were incredible last night both offensively and defensively (apart from the shambles of a goal) always chasing down players and always having players free for passes. It was a footballing lesson for the gooners last night. I don't think there will be many teams stopping them this season. I thought Real would win the Champions League this season but I'm taking it all back, if Barca play like that in the rest of their games then they'll win it easy.

jambo_jack Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Barca were superior in every department. No complaints. Interesting to see how chelski or ManUre will fare against them if they meet later in the competiton. (I suspect shite!)
