Arsenal V Barca
Good showing this morning by the lads. Arshavin played extremely well off the bench....Was it a penalty off his hands??
No Pique for the second leg could be a concern for Barca, they seemed to struggle with Walcotts pace. Off to Camp Nou

Re: Arsenal V Barca
To be fair, Arsenal played very well. Despite being outplayed for large parts of the game, they've managed to get a result and that's always the sign of a good side.
Have to wait for Barca to smash them at home.

Pretty disappointed this wasn't on SBS this morning.
Unfortunately for Arsenal, Barca have a tendency to really, really perform in big games...Nice One Cyril wrote:Have to wait for Barca to smash them at home.
Re: Arsenal V Barca
It was 2-2 last year until Messi decided it was time to win the game.
Is Puyol injured or something? I noticed he wasn't playing this morning. I think without Puyol or Pique it might be interesting though.

Re: Arsenal V Barca
as I understand it, if Barca win 1-0 at Nou Camp the aggregate is 2-2. But because Barcelona have scored a goal away from home and Arsenal haven't, Barca will progress through to QF's.Chade wrote:I thought they always counted (as worth more than home goals).Nice One Cyril wrote: Do away goals count after 90 mins or after extra time?
However, if Barca win 2-1 at Nou Camp, this takes aggregate to 3-3 but both teams have scored an away goal, meaning extra time and maybe penalties will be required to get a result.
Re: Arsenal V Barca
nice goals from the gooners, how did RVP squuze the 1st one in, is a surprise.
arsenal had the play in last 20mins, setting up two goals
good game to watch as a neutral

Barca were good in the 1st half but in the 2nd half arsenal dominated them. Messi has one chance in the 2nd half to make it 2-0 and he should have put it away, but wenger made 2 good subs in arsharvin and bentder(guys a twat), and that changed the game.
Barca have the important away goal, which at the end of the day is really important. The game at Nou Camp will be completely different. You would expect Barca to get through
Cesc was ok tonight he did go missing at times, as for Messi, well he was far from his usual best

Re: Arsenal V Barca
Equally good luck to barca keeping arsenal scoreless, cause they won't sit back. When Arsenal score it will put the pressure on barca to win by 2

Re: Arsenal V Barca
What do you expect SBS to do? They have a deal in place with ESPN which means on the Wednesday morning SBS have the pick of the live fixture, ESPN get the Thursday morning.Chade wrote:Pretty disappointed this wasn't on SBS this morning.
This means you'll see all second leg matches on the opposite channel.

Save for some good fortune, Arsenal could have been 3 down before the hour mark.

Good mental strength to be battered most of the game and to have the resolve to sneak 2 goals towards the end.
Interested to see how Wenger sets out his team. Defend all men behind the ball at your peril. Or expose their weakness at CB and knick an early away goal?
