please don't talk bollocks. We don't have astro yet? I've had astro since 1996 watching the Atlanta Olympics. And Lauren time no Astro? WHere have u been hiding? Under a rock? I don't conclude anything I didn't watch mind you.

And yes Rosicky may have been behind him. But did you see him intercept any play from the mid? Or put in any decent defensive effort? Come on man. It's been one game. And out of a sudden Sagna's predictable. Give it a rest. Sagna's best improvement this season has been on his crossing. U can't expect one player especially a right back to have changed the situation this morning.We were chasing the game from the first whistle and the defender was the problem u indentified as an ATTACKING problem. geez

The game's done and dusted, so have I with this discussion. Few of us including Barca fans having been trying to make a point to u from the previous thread till now. They've given up. Now's my turn. U win. Sagna's rubbish and predictable. And from ur comments the last thread, he should now play smart like the spaniards, take people one on one and do a little "diving" to win us many penalties.

Ok I get it.

He definitely had a monstrous game tonight.Fantastic goalkeeping. Hope he just can have a little consistency especially against United this weekend. We're going to be playing him the rest of the season from the prognosis so far on Woj

When did i call u names? Great, a retort with personal attacks. I've supported Arsenal since 1994 when I was in the UK and came back. I didn't say i supported them from childbirth as u assumed did I? Simply because I've supported the team before you, I'm guilty as well. Nice way of calling our great players like Lauren and Lee dixon as simply guys who didn't mean sh1t. Come on man, take a chill pill. We're the same club's supporters and your best retort is this. All me, Prelude23 and the rest of the guys are saying is stop bashing players without a valid reason and instead supporting a defender to neglect his duties and worse still, encourage diving.


Your argument simply doesn't hold water that all defenders need to be graduates of the art of dribbling before leaving the academy. Comprende?

End of the day, both you and me support the same club? No?

Thank you. That's the point me and few guys who's given up trying to explain are simply trying to make.

We were outplayed, no question about that. The sending off was dubious that's all.

As for our defence, we've had f*ckups in the past, especially with the GK department and the latest incident was the Carling Cup final against Birmingham.

All in all, it was a masterclass football demonstration from Barca and well played to you guys.

Well for what it's worth, I'd extend my apologies for saying u spoke bollocks. I cant really call somebody a bollock as u say it . As for calling u a fool, please page Prelude23. I never call u that. I didn't bring out any names to win arguments. I'm just saying great defenders make their name by well, defending great. Any thing else is a plus.



And for your points, I understand what you are saying. I do. But it takes more than words to say simply Sagna could have dribbled all the way to the box. If your complaint is that his crosses to strikers who are double marked doesn't work, what is he driving into the box for? This discussion from u stems from the past thread where why can't Sagna be like Dani Alves. Well, there's only 1 Dani Alves. The animosity stemmed from your earlier statements that all defenders had to be good at dribbling to be able to leave the academy. Sure Sagna maybe a class dribbler, but you can't deny another defender's ability to fend it off? Surely it can happen. It's all hypothetical, from your point of him playing a little spanish theatre/diving and scoring us many penalties. It's not even a respectable act in the first place. It's easy to say he could have provided a threat for us, but when we look at the stats, the point is we had 0 attempts. There's a whole list of player with more flair than him (Cesc, Nasri, RVP, Rosicky, Wilshere) that should have done something to change that statistic, not a defender.

Prelude23 made a very good point when he asked u to name other wingbacks who were really good like Alves in offense. I dind't see your reply to it, but let's be honest, players of that quality are few and far between.

Please keep it a healthy discussion. I'm the 2nd person who has been told to shut up by you simply because you can't participate in a decent healthy discussion and fancy making assumptions that neither we know football or simply are flamed by stating our facts as a sign of arrogance towards u.



Like I said, you and I are both supporters of the same club. I don't need the thread to turn into a shitstorm because a few of us retorts your claims.

Come on you gunners!

I think to the Barca fans, we are not refuting anything if you are reading this. We were outplayed simple as that. The only dissatisfaction we had was our own play and ref's dubious call on certain occasions.

I think everyone can take a chill pill and any potential trolling less seriously.

And we can actually hold our heads high. For all its worth, it was a fantastic display in the first leg and the 2nd leg, well, lets just say Barca put on a fantastic demonstration. Possesion football that also brings results.

7 defenders and they score first. really lol at us. haihz.

Whether, we win anything at the end of the season, it's just bad omens all around. Cesc might still be heading back to Barca, and with Nasri's contract extension still unresolved, things don't look good.

Good players might be leaving thanks to another fine season turned into well, shit.

Keeping the faith in Diaby, Denilson for all these years and believing we had squad depth is definitely Wenger's short sightedness.

Anyway guys, time to check out. Gf's hungry and I can save myself this eyesore.
