![]() arsenal still only need a single goal though, the threat is still there.

![]() if van persie was still on pitch yeah but i think its a big ask. fair do's to almunia tho' played very well
|

![]() only takes a mistake though eh. im just sick of barca winning everything its boring.
edit: also, nicklas bendtner is on the pitch. its pretty much a sure thing.

![]() yeah, one of the more ridiculous red cards you will see. i mean, in the eyes of the law, it works, but for fucks sake a bit of common sense please. it was obvious he hadn't heard.
that said, arsenal deserved fuck all. their goal was a present, i don't remember an actual shot on goal. on the other hand, barcelona can play like such a bunch of petty wankers at times. don't get me wrong, they can be nothing less than sublime, but this insistence on trying to create and finish the perfect goal every single time must drive their fans mental. |

![]() sepp blatter fixing games and getting refs to give an undeserved red card to ensure the all popular barcelona through???????????

![]() Van Persie's attempt that didn't count, which followed an offside call, was the only shot all night by the usually offense-minded Gunners, who were outshot an incredible 19-0. Barcelona had 68 percent possession and completed 738 passes to Arsenal's 199.
from an espn article. pretty incredible stats. |

![]() the cup just means i have to wait an extra week for our next game. annoying... still at least it's not internationals.

![]() also, that red card for Van Persie was beyond ludicrous. clear case of a ref wanting to insert himself into the game's spectacle when it should be all about the players.
|
#286
|
||||
|
||||
![]() no it was a ludicrous yellow card which would have been ok and probably kept van persie on his toes had he not seen the old red mist in the first half. from the minute wilshere went down and barca complained he was livid and he couldnt control himself, its the first booking that got him sent off because only he caused that.

![]() suck it, gaylord.
that was wack, bossed them in the first. second was more even but still had the better chances. seedorf actually played very well all night, first time this year. every one had a pretty decent game actually. besides ibra, who flopped again on the big stage. some decent lay off touches, but for fucks sake move to get the ball dipshit. waaay too static. second half binho and pato stopped checking back, idk why, but that hurt, cut off the connection between the mid and uptop. i think pirlo would have really helped tonight, maybe been able to thread a ball from deep to one of the guys up top. but injuries are part of sport. o well. hopefully inter beats munich and they have to fight on 2 fronts and it detracts from serie A. tottenham did alright tonight, did what they had to. executed their game plan of hitting long high balls to crouch. maybe next year with some midfield and wingback enforcements. |

I knew when robinho missed that sitter that was it. He seems like he's had the shooting boots of a 9 year old girl on all year idk what his deal is with that. |

![]() can't blame him for that.
both start with C. and end in the ie/y sound. clearly an easy mistake that would happen to anyone. |
#294

![]() What a ridiculous thing to say, especially as a football supporter. Manchester City and Chelsea are clearly very different teams, with very different staff, kits, fans, and in very different cities.

![]() looks like arsenal out of the running for another trophy.
with van der star retiring man utd really will need to bring in a quality goalie unless they want to surrender some points next year. ask arsenal about that. they really should just pay pepe reina's buyout clause. i think its at $20 mil. a bit steep but worth it in the long term. |

![]() oh, man, what a bad 2 weeks for the Arse.
I was over at the game in the Camp Nou. Seriously, I know Barca are amazing, and they were whipping us, but up until the sending off we were leading the tie, and the ref robbed any chance of it being a thrilling conclusion. Was only going to be one conclusion. I'll say this: Again, Barca are fantastic, but they whipped us for an entire 45 minutes and got one goal. Had we had 11 men it would have been a different game. Possibly the same result, but jesus, the ref removed any chance. Camp Nou is a mega stadium tho. As for the Cup game.....such a strange game. We bossed it in terms of possession/chances, but we just were'nt clinical, but United just needed 2 chances to do it. They just win games. Simple as. Still, League to play for..... |
