    wrong.

    and yes they play some nice football, but it can get tedious when they decide to run the game out playing keep-ball. also, if they're losing they're collectively some of the least sporting players going

    Van Persie is a one man show at Arsenal, 2 to him

    For all that they're a decent team i just find something unlikable about them. I think it's the things like saying they only had 30 million to spend and then spending 70 million or the way that when they're losing they dive, moan to the ref, and generally are just underhand. I also find it's not worth watching 85 minutes of passing the ball around midfield and defence for the 5 minutes of genius they produce that wins them games. They win by attrition, which i find dull.

    Can't believe Arsenal let Dortmund score in the last 5 secs or so.

    It's more than 'nice' football though, the pressing and possession tactics they employ have made them arguably the best club side of their generation. As for not being sporting, you may be thinking of Real Madrid, players like Messi and Abidal exemplify what it it is to be a true professional. They are no worse than any other Spanish team for diving and gamesmanship, in fact compared to many, they are better.

    Are you watching this game? There's only one team not plying in the spirit of the game and it's not Barca.

    I watched it, and the diving was embarrassingly evident throughout. Fouls are part of football because they are punished, and Milan did commit some fouls but Barca were just ridiculous, falling over at every opportunity and throwing a strop when they didnt get their way.
