Cracking banter out of Lawro there. Trevor remarked that Pedro had scored 16 goals this season,and Lawro replied “Is that all?”.
Noticeable how early Barca are trying to release strikers in behind. They’re definitely looking to release it earlier than normal and are dinking a lot of short balls over the top instead of sliding it around them.
Borriello you clown.
Oh dear. There goes our chance. :mad:
Pizarro scored the penalty in the last minute at the weekend but Marco’s scored a lot of penalties this season in fairness.
I was just thinking that the Armenian guy for them was a cracking midfielder before he gave away the stupid penalty. No wonder Paul Green had such a tough competitive debut against them in September.
Awful refereeing there. Blatant and only a yard away. Reckon he had doubts about whether it was in the box or not so gave nothing.
Arsenal are crying out for a Christopher Poulsen figure to dictate things in midfield.
Tony Gale reckons ‘Roma are playing pretty well’.
That’s some consolation at least.
33 minutes gone and Barca have completed 262 of 293 passes with Arsenal managing 62 from 85.
In the attacking thirds Barca have 72 from 102 (more careless than usual but still loads). Arsenal have only completed 4 from 16 in Barcelona’s third of the pitch.
It must be phenomenally mentally draining playing against this Barca side. I’d say Arsenal are crying out for half time at this point.
Badly need half time break here.
@ Rocko - where are you getting those stats?
Mexes off, fuck you Webb.
Howard Webb is an utter, utter bastard. :mad: :guns:
iPhone App called Total Football. Excellent thing powered by Opta.
Van Persie has been acting the cunt all night.
Barcelona rattled?
You got the cards wrong anyway Tinnion.
Alves is a right diving wee shit to be fair, shame RVP didnt give him a decent reason to go down.
Cesc :rolleyes:
Daniele.
Jesus Arsenal had their best 5 minutes just there after they got the corner but after nearly getting caught on the break that was a crazy way to give the ball back in a dangerous area.
