According to Opta, since they began gathering data on all UCL matches in 2003, there has NEVER been a team that has ZERO attempted shots in a match.

So... that's two records in the bag this season. This and being the first team to fail to win a match after going 4 goals up.

Spuds to lose to the first proper (non-Italian) team they meet.

then you quote which team better than spurs,
come one just because arsenal & spurs = rival,
doesnt mean you can simply downgrade the team,
IMO spurs had most complete team,just only having problem with injury and consistency

I don't really remember Cesc saying that before, maybe it's quite a long time ago. But i won't be too surprised if he said that because Arsenal players dislike playing against ultra-defensive team.

I might be bias here but I don't really agree that we are anti-football, anti-football would mean that we are not interested to get the ball and just kick the ball out of our own half when we have it, it might also involves a lot of kicking of opposition player. Of course that is just what i think of anti-football, other people might have different interpretation. But you can see we tried to pass it out of defense when we have it, which also lead to their 1st goal because Cesc tried to pass to Wilshere with a backheel in front of the penalty box  doh.gif

Anyway i get what u meant, when you're facing a far more superior team, you would have no choice but to focus on defending.

the article is HERE, i also din know Fab said that to be honest, though i know someone from Arsenal did say that and my initial thought was Arsene, coz i do think he is also irked with these ultra defensive teams. yeah, its quite long time ago.

well if u wikied "anti-football" (yes, there's even a wiki page for it doh.gif ) it basically says that anti-football means putting all players except the lone striker behind the ball. of course there are many definitions according to who used that term, for example i do agree many would take the meaning to be including excessive tackles to literally break opponent's momentum. from my memory of watching last night's game half asleep laugh.gif, i think Arsenal also did a lot of clearance, which is why Barca continue to get the ball and continue their press. Of course every team does that when under pressure, even MU did when playing 451 against big teams (which annoy the hell out of me). Obviously Arsenal isnt a team that practices anti-football, but for that 1 match last night i guess u guys really have no choice but to defend. MU did so too when we played Barca at camp nou, we managed to hang on for a scoreless draw.

Anyway, my intention isnt to highlight anything, but just to discuss a bit about this term because in the wake of Xavi saying this about Arsenal (defend all the time), and Arsenal also did comment on it about other teams, but more towards the tackling part. Just a similar theme which i noticed icon_rolleyes.gif

Oh yea heard that Arsene and Nasri got charged? well now i think u guys know why Fergie is so stubborn and continue to "harass" the FA about decisions, its not lack or respect or anything but when things really is unfair, you gotta make a point. And more often than not these footballing bodies used their power to punish the critics, simply because they have to back up the referee (whether the ref is right or not). Similar with Chelsea back in 0809, complain about a terrible decisions but handed bans instead. Referees have the FA behind them whether they make a mistake or not, but when refs make mistake, who is there to back the clubs? Think about it sad.gif Well hopefully technologies implemented in the future (i hope) can reduce the numbers of such issues.

I agree with everything you say bro..'anti football' definition differs by people,to me is like the majority I guess,using excessive tackles sweat.gif And I guess we heard about Arsene and Nasri got charged since I posted about it awhile back biggrin.gif .Though I have to admit I am surprised Rvp wasn't charged based on their 'ways of dealing stuffs'.

pity arsenal...both arsene and nasri officially charged now..

personally, i also think the 2nd yellow card is too much..is really a joke.

true barca looks more superior in the 2nd leg, but nevertheless, if RVP stil there, i believe they might turn the table around...

will still support arsenal no matter what

For me, i rather stop the 'if' argument. It is going nowhere, the match is done. Statistic show Barca were superior in every department.

http://www.zonalmarking.net/2011/03/09/bar...rsenal-tactics/
read the article and the graph. With that much domination, it just a matter of time before they start scoring.

Why is people talking about Arsenal being ultra-defensive?
The problem I saw last night was Arsenal can't even hold the ball to attack.
Why so serious?
The problem is because we have player like Song to boss around midfield

lol,and it came from a corner too which is quite rare for arsenal to score from a corner tongue.gif

overall im happy with almunia,nasri ,wilshere and,all the defenders except sagna., . they are the only arsenal player that played like they really want to win,others are like ..especialy fabregas and rosicky and diaby,i hate fabregas now .nasri is my favourite arsenal player now,lucky he sign a long contract with arsenal
feel sorry for nasri bcause he need to go alone with no one supporting him .. sad.gif 1 thing i hate bout nasri he is can't control his short tempered,while fabregas always stay cool

i wish we had 24 yr old henry .he can changed this game
