No pal. I hoped you or 74 can give me a bit of insight into the potential of the lad. We've got a decent lad called Ravel Morrison. Don't have MUTV anymore so miss out on a quite a bit.

hopefully he sorts himself out, reports suggest anyone less ridiculously talented would have been long since sent packing - the reserves can often been found on a stream

At the risk of sounding silly... is it just me who finds Barca's ''pass it around in neat triangles for 2 minutes'' philosiphy to be quite.... well.... boring?

I hope they get the 4-0 they deserve.

The simple fact is that Arsenal are a pale imitation of Barca. While Barca are propelled by Messi and Iniesta, Arsenal's greatest hope is Theo Effing Walcott! If Arsenal aren't prepared to alter the way they play against clearly superior opposition they deserve to get battered.

Foozeball is generally boring.

Get in Van Persie. Arsenal have been the better team the 2nd half. Refs let Barca get away with alot too. Barca are getting irritated cos they've not been allowed to do their pretty passing for the whole game

A couple of cracking goals from Arsenal there.

Re: Football Chat Thread : Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:25 pm  

Typical I go for a cup of tea and miss 2 goals

Re: Football Chat Thread : Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:27 pm  

One more and they might have a decent chance of going through.

Apparently Barca had 82% possesion against Gijon at the weekend and had to rely on a last gasp equaliser to get a point. I'm not buying into this 'imperious Barcelona' BS. For my money they've been sh*t tonight, done f*ck all but pass pass pass and get caught offside (bar once). Commentator descibes Arshavin's goal as 'a Barcelona goal', (ar*e licking). Boll*cks, that was a classic Arsenal goal. Well done the Gunners.
