Arsenal v Barcelona

cson

Alves at it too.

They're very hard to like when they start going at that ****e. Takes from them as they're so good they don't need to do it.

Ozil should have shot.

greendom

Pathetic from Alves.

I wish Arsenal could hold onto the ball for a bit

cson

What a save!

Harry Palmr

Booing Suarez in 2016 is just small time

Gbear

Forget cheating... That was just insanely stupid by Alba.
Not only did he take himself out of the game for 30 seconds but then he goes for the silly headbutt nonsense over nothing at all.

How can someone with such poor discipline and intelligence have gotten so far.

Quazzie

Suarez hasn't had the beatings of Kos tonight. He's been kept very quiet

bad2dabone

Alexis form is poop

LuckyGent88

Very good save.

Stevie Mac all for the studs up tackle ????? Alves made a meal but defo a free kick

greendom

Played Monreal

Alves dived in with both feet off the ground.

Cos refs are too weak to call him out on it.

Bollocks. They both went in the same way, Coquelin got the ball, Alves howled at the ref.

Moneymaker

This is the most entertaining 0-0 i've seen in forever.

Lukker-

There isn't a player I dislike more than Daniel Alves.

Alvez came in over the ball and actually made the worse tackle. The only reason he got the free because the ref bought the meal he made of it.

It just goes to show that even if you have the best attackers in the world, it's very hard to play though a defensive wall like Arsenal are putting up

Barca have to play against that wall in 90%+ of their games. Their best players just haven't shown up tonight.

cson

Great hour of football from Arsenal.

Looking slightly ominous nonetheless though.

Have another look. Alves went in with instep for the ball, nearly laces even. Coq was all studs. It took a replay for me to see it. Fair play to the ref. Anyway, a minor point in a quality game

greendom

We are getting chances.

His shooting is abysmal.

Harry Palmr

How the hell did that not get tapped in?

gandalf

Another close one there!

irishguitarlad

Alves best player for barca, hes everywhere. Giroud is unmarkable and what the **** jad happened to sanchez?

Gbear

Does Busquets still have a 100% pass rate?

Barca will get one right yet unfortunately.

LuckyGent88

Superb block and then a bit lucky Suarez effort wasn't put in

Kirby

Giroud has been useless.

cson

Alexis really trying to make a point tonight.

omega man

Sanchez, brilliant.

AdamD

Bring Welbeck on he's made for this

keeponhurling

Maybe Arsenal's strategy is to keep it tight for 85 minutes, then bring on Danny Welbz who will take it from there

Skylinehead

Gwan Sanchez!

Kirby

And again. Giroud. Useless.

Mickeroo

Wat

cson

Giroud.

Shoot ffs.

irishguitarlad

Haha i retract my statement about giroud

gandalf

FFS Giroud should have just hit it!

He'll score now, surely

Quazzie

All that's brilliant and **** about Olivier Giroud in one moment of football.

Ramsey and Giroud showing again tonight that they simply aren't good enough.

CptMackey

I have never ever cheered for arsenal but I can't stand the play acting from barca. Comon arsenal.

Ramseys been excellent, Christ.

wandatowell

Giroud........ No interest in smashing an effort on goal.

gandalf

FFS wasting our free kicks!

cson

****ing super from Koscielny. Quality.

Obviously forgot the yellow card for Barcelona players tonight did the ref. :rolleyes:
