The away goal will kill Arsenal
Vermaelen could've been the difference.

Basically, English football is fast and powerful, and with the right climate, where it isn't too hot, we can play our game and be si ck.

Barcelona's style works in hot countries where running is hard.

That's why England are shiet in hot countires. We rely on pace, long balls, quick passes, hard tackles, and counter attacks.

Arsenal always played like this from years ago when I was a fan.

Now I play it, but haven't really watched. I am glad I watched it though.

Great game.

I don't think anyone in this thread ever said such a thing.

I have and i will stand by my comment until i die.

Real Madrid spanks the **** outta any english team.

Arsenal IS the best english team. Not by this game but me and erik have been sayin this for awhile

Barca are a GREAT side we cannot deny that. However, the pretty eyed football didn't work tonight, because Arsenal were simply to physical for them.

They can pass the ball around in the La Liga as they please - against English opposition they don't get the time of the day.

Arsenal played a top game tonight, they put everything into practise. A fantastic performance by the team.

Messi didn't even get a look in tonight. He wasn't allowed to play.

He missed by two inches
Had a header dissalowed for offside, when he was on
And set up Barcas goal.

Which makes it even more of a penalty.

True, but they got a free corner.

It's all the same when my team wins.

Don't you worry, Arsenal will score a goal at the Nou camp.

Barcelona were just fucking around, they should've put this game to bed instead they've given Arsenal false hope of making it through to the next round.

Credit to Arsenal, took their chances and made a game of it.

Barca should still go through.

Arsenal simply had a better half than Barca, they weren't anymore physical than any other team they have played against. It's funny you talk about the physical aspect of the game tho because isn't it Wenger who ALWAYS complains about how too physical the game is, yet now they are this physical power house, please. Arsenal counter attacked beautifully, that's what won them the game.

Arsenal would beat Real Madrid IMO.

LOL, it seems Messi is now only judged on goals.
