Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

[RedandGreenSniper]

How can anyone who follows football use this moment to gloat on Arsenal losing and ignore the absolute brilliance we are witnessing? Sad.

Messi - thank you. That was some privilege.

[ONeill]

Just a brilliant performer. You can't be disappointed losing to that. Unlike Utd, Arsenal can unlock Barca so not a disgrace.

[ross4life]

just like the 1st leg barca has eased off!

Arsenal allowed more of the ball now & maybe they will nick another goal?

If that happened Barca would just up a gear and score again, never in doubt.

There's your fourth, not too bad this lad.

well that lad messi never eased off

one of the best displays i've seen from a player in a big game

True to form Eduardo gets a free header from 6yrs out and puts it over the bar. Clown.

I'm sure Barca would have appreciated a sterner task tonight ahead of their big clash with Real Madrid at the weekend.

Arsenal totally out of their depth at this level.

Ronaldo not fit to lace Messi's boots

if my memory is correct united knocked out a messi barca in 2008 semi 

& btw messi first goal v a English team was in last year final

[ross4life]

well the Gooners were outplayed & outclassed in both legs

but huge credit to Arsenal as they played there part in two classic champions league ties

[orangeman]

No shame to get beaten by the best team in the world.

Arsenal were well short and did their best under the circumstances.

[T Fearon]

Goons outclassed lasy year by Man Ure and this year by Barca, not up to competing at the latter stages of the Champions League. Great and all as Barca are I guarantee that they'll not outclass Inter the way they outclassed Aresenal, who along with Bordeaux were the weakest of the quarter finalists.

I only hope Bayern send Man Ure packing tomorrow night as well

I'm loving it

Martin Keown reckons the Argies will be a handful in the world cup with Messi,Tevez and ahem Alves bombing down the right 

[Hoof Hearted]

jose's inter wont lose 6-3 on aggregate that's for sure - or win 6-3 either. The group matches between the 2 were 0-0 at San siro and 2-0 at Nou Camp

Martin Keown reckons the Argies will be a handful in the world cup with Messi,Tevez and ahem Alves bombing down the right 

The same Alves that plays for Brazil?

[The Real Laoislad]

No shame to get beaten by the best team in the world.

And the best player in the World

[Declan]

Barca a joy to watch and Messi is simply the best in the world and by a distance
