I just laughed at loud at The Fiver's preview of Arsenal 1-6 Barcelona

One can dream. Hope it happens.

[Sandperson]

Me too! ;)

Well I'm supporting the Arse in memory of the old man

[SeanMacGabhann]

That sound you hear is me squeaking

[????]

Right. I missed the first 20 mins when it sounds like Barcelona were fantastic but in the game I watched Arsenal had decent possession,pressure and got behind the Barcelona defense a couple of times and some decent chances yet the commentators are making out Arsenal are very lucky...is there a cultural cringe going on or were Barcelona that good for 20 mins? Since I've been watching its pretty even.

[kpc]

A half of two halves. Or quarters. After 20 minutes Barca had 75% possession and 10 shots. Had it been boxing, the ref would have stepped in.

[Rolo Tomasi]

bugger

[Wilhelm]

Jeez. Soft goal

[SeanMacGabhann]

Barca were that good

almunia was that good

arsenal were that scared

now normal service. Mistake from almunia. Bugger

I can't believe how much fuss barca are making about every single tackle as well

colour me unimpressed.

Ironic given Mr Wenger's recent comments.

Dirty dirty Arsenal.

And that's 2.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Not sure about irony

in any case. 2.0 now. And more to come. Ah well

[citizenED]

Getting that sinking feeling.. can they throw in the towel?

[SeanMacGabhann]

If I sound sour I don't mean to btw. Barca are playing some of the best stuff I've seen in a long time. Good luck to em

[ruffers]

Did I hear it wrong or were there boo's as they went off at half time?

Unbelievable.

[kpc]

Quality goal - feeling a bit better Sean?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Theo

[SeanMacGabhann]

Better aye. But still a mountain

[SeanMacGabhann]

Better team is winning. But that is easier when the ref gives some strange decisions like that

[kpc]

The mountain's now a level(-ish) playing field.

[citizenED]

Barcelona should be winning this tie and now we are back in it. But I'm a football aesthete and I wish Barca were still in front.
