Arsenal v Barcelona: the Showdown thread

It's interesting to see Wenger using Leicester City's tactics of chip-and-run football.

 

I'm not sure that there's any other way of playing this lot! Not unless you want to get slaughtered!

 

They are getting slaughtered, from what I can see.

 

Like a battering ram to a door, the door eventually loses.

 

Exactly, Lee. It's all just a matter of time.

 

It's embarrassing. They are too scared to cross the half way line.

Anti football.

Did Arsehole fans not criticise other clubs for playing Barca the same way recently???

 

That's what you do every time Chelsea play

 

Oxford and Chamberlain should have scored.

 

Why would I wear a Barca shirt when Chelsea are playing?

 

I didn't know Arsenal had it in them to park the bus like this actually. So much for playing the "Arsenal way."

 

It's amazing that when Ronaldo sulks on the floor and waves a yellow card, he gets full on hate, yet Messi doing it is easily overlooked. Both great players but ppl really don't want to see the same flaws in Messi's personality when he gets frustrated.

 

I think we can safely say that Wenger has, after two decades in charge at the Gunners, finally acknowledged that his tika-taka football is a failure, and that Big Sam's "park the bus and wait for the chance to hit it up to the big man" tactics are all you need.

 

They have a big man?

 

Cos Ronaldo is a **** maybe?

Messi did the same thing against Del Horno in 2006.

They can only beat chelsea 11 v 10; and we've owned Messi ever sinc e

 

He does a lot of work for charidee and he loves his mammy.

 

If one is the **** then so is the other. That's the point.

 

The journos are claiming that the ref has an agenda against Arsenal.


Talk about making Wenger's excuses for him!

 

Quite enjoyed the game so far.

 

arsenal are doing well so far

 

Well played Arsenal.

Fck you Barcelona
