Yeah the Barca games are just a distraction for me, written that one off as soon as the draw was made.Originally Posted by Munchies
write it off and play the reserves
It's no shame to lose to them over 2 legs, they are the best team in Europe IMO, think it could get embarrassing over at the Nou Camp though, can see us getting a real hiding there.
Flamini takes pride in hurting people and whilst there is something commendable about it, he hasn't got the technique to get away with doing that and remaining on a pitch for 90 minutes.We can't have a go at Tiny and the victim Shawcross without keeping an eye on this Flamini bloke. That's horrible what he's doing there. And he has a history of it.
If you go in with two feet off the ground you run the risk of doing considerable harm and if you get the ball it's more a case of good fortune, he should have been sent off
You can see Ramsey looking on as the tackle is made. I wonder if anything crossed his mind?

NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
I think that's a bit harsh. He has a tendency to the wild tackle, but I think that is because of his limitations as a player rather than a desire to cause injury.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
I have absolutely no idea why someone would tackle like that. A dropkick FFS.
Fucking mindless and could have cost us again had another ref decided to give red.
Said it earlier but for the love of god, please say Coquelin will be ready for the next game.
I don't mind the fact he has a bit of bottle, when most of our lot don't. But the OTT stuff is crazy, not only because it can cause serious injury, but in this instance because if we lose a man after 7 minutes then our whole title bid, hanging by a thread anyway, can go out the window. It's like his brain shuts off. He's too big a liability for this point in the season. No idea why he was playing anyway. Idiotic.

The only positive i see is that even Wenger has sussed that playing Mertesacker is suicidal in this tie. My guess is that is why gabriel has been playing since the lanky one got sent off. Gabriel has his faults, mostly due to being rusted over from sitting on the bench watching Merts sideways passes, but at least he can run and wont fall like a totem pole while trying to turn quickly as Neymar sprints around him.
We have no hope against Barca, but it shouldnt be that way. Not 10 years after we were told moving into a new stadium would put us amongst Europes elites.
Make 2mrw better than 2day
Gabriel hasn't be good and pretty sure you'd pounce on the sort of mistakes he's made so far if it Merts playing instead. Failed miserably to deal with a ball over the top but lucikly bailed out by Bellerin and was lucky not to give away a pen against Southampton.
I'm not convinced and so far we haven't played teams that have really put the pressure on us so he needs to sharpen up.
