Van Persie sending off? weakest yellow card ever

He actually said they become more ****e after perceived injustices. See Wenger, Wilshere et al moaning about the second penalty in the 4-4 while conveniently ignoring the disallowed goal.

 

Fair result, really. If you take away the sending off and all the falling over, Barca still VASTLY outplayed Arsenal and deserved to win.

 

Arsenal were **** and deserved nothing. Totally outclassed

 

Let's not forget RVP could of been sent off in the first half.

 

They were **** before and **** after. He should have gone for slapping Alves anyway. Didn't have a shot on target all night. Barca were out of this world.

 

What an absolute joke, the ref has to use his common sense (which clearly he was lacking)

 

Personally im not too bothered. i wanted arsenal to go through like. but now they know how every club outside the top 4 feel week in week out with the key decisions going against them.

 

They didn't deserve to go through anyway, if you can't muster a single shot then you're going to lose

 

I always think that for all their talk of the beautiful game as played by Arsenal that when teams really get after them and stop them playing they fail to be able to adjust, Barca combined that by getting after them so much that they played most of the match in Arsenals half of the pitch with some truly talented football. The sending off was soft but Barca would have won anyway, I think Arsenal were mentally weak, the players seemed locked in to a defensive mode and lacked width or ambition to break out and take the game to Barca, on the odd occaision that they did get a chance to go forward only Nasri seemed to have any drive or intent and his corner was the only real bit of quality from them, sadly if Arsenal are the best then we have a long way to go on this evidence.
