bit disspointing first leg but good effect from the lads

[modd]

2-0 not to bad against a great team like barcelona.

i thought we did well just a bit nalive with the first goal and counter attack and the pen and not clincal with the ox chance.

Their a class team but even without playing that well their still very good

Nothing to lose in the second leg. We huge underdogs but we gone to munich and won 2-0 and beaten millan 3-0 in a second leg.

so we give it a go in the nou camp. everton game few days later is more important but this game be a free hit and we usually do well second leg as shown in the past. So we give it good go and fancy us to scare them a bit over their. They be no pique which is good.

As i said earlier today the league the priotity and always will be. that what we the whole team wants.

Man united, swansea and spurs were always bigger games then this.

playing that well?

[Brexit = Keine Pumpernickel]

[modd]

well. Copied almost tactics of vigo without being clincal on the counter attack as they were.

Thought it was immense defensive peformance untill last 25 mintues where we tired

We had to take our chances though which sadly we did,nt. But look game not over and we still have a shot in nou camp if a small one

But league the main deal and tonight and second leg is the same is free nothing to lose hit.

Just before they scored we were fannying around their box for ages, then gave it away and the tie was lost. And Flamini. :-(

[modd]

nowhere near as good as pep barca team but still a very good team with that thressome plus suarez. But we still have a shot in second leg with no pique

only need to win 2-0 and win in extra time or pens or win 3-1. not impossible considering we beat bayern 2-0 and millan 3-0.

but it small chance and league still the focus.

[modd]

on the goal. silly to have so many players on halfway line to be counter attacked. then flammi gave silly pen away. thrid year in row barca got pen vs english team in last 10 mintues

so missed chance tonight but that way it flows. cana,t dwell to long.

huge games coming up in next 11 days. united and spurs away and swansea at home.

team never have better chance to win league with no pep or mourinho around so got to grab it.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

[modd]

and we nearly won 3-0 over their in 2013 or millan at home in 2012 when we won 3-0 or monaco last year when we won 2-0. we did job in grecce 3-0 this year when needed a 2-0.

look likelyhood is we won,t do it but we shown we can make things intresting second leg.

but league the big one and europe afterhtought at the moment.

[Brexit = Keine Pumpernickel]

[Mo Britain less Europe]

isn't the double on? Perversely tonight's defeat will help.

[modd]

but if they win at united and spurs then league is basically arsenal.

united be a tough game away but then not a great team with no de gera and rooney. so nothing to fear but its never a easy game their but if we turn up the team got a great chance to follow leicester win with another big game win.

deep down city our only team that can stop arsenal winning the league. not deep down worried about spurs and leicester long term.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

Spurs we're in dangerous territory.

[modd]

it was just the league but if its another fa cup then so be it.

should make semi finals of cup and then only really united and chelsea can stop the team .

in terms of league that the obession and if we get through few tough away games with good results, then got a clean run from april to win the league with only two from least seven being really tough..

[Mo Britain less Europe]

teams but a decent performance is enough to see off the current Manu or West Ham or Everton.

[Ashberto]

In 2011/12 whenever it was the Barca players buzzed around us like dervishes and we hardly had a sniff of the ball. It was utterly unreal. Watching them tonight, they were a superb team but what they did didn't seem physically impossible like the Pep side, and we were very much in the game tonight for 70 minutes.

[modd]

spurs and leicester will not win the league. sorry neither squad is good enough and both have little experience winning anything.

Spurs loss on sunday showed their weakness when chasing a game at home. same happened vs leicester and newcastle at home for them.

I am pretty confident its either arsenal or city that will win the league. spurs beating city was a good result as city are bigger threat long term then spurs.

I always thought that only two things will stop arsenal winning the league

(a) arsenal throwing it away
(b) city finding a big surge

neither yet happened. to me it in arsenal hands and if they can open up four point lead over city to a further game then league inches their way. but if city keep it close then that game at manchester becomes huge

[modd]

if rooney and de gera get fit . But basically only them and chelsea i think can maybe stop another fa cup for arsenal. if both get knocked out then its a thrid fa cup for arsene in a row.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

between us with 9 games to go they'll finally believe they can do it.

Leicester don't have a great squad but they don't need to with 12 games left. Losing to us was a blow but they're still ahead. Until/unless they go behind they are dangerous.

We will finish above City for sure. We'll be second or first.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

squad fit.

[modd]

To me spurs are to inexperienced to win the league. to reliant on kane and ali and if your seen last 30 mintues vs palace and how their tired showed the weakness for them.

also their fixture in april is brutal. have to play liverpool, united, chelsea, stoke away , southampton at home.

Sorry no way will they win the league and neither will leicester. Leicester to me are damaged after arsenal defeat and have shown weakness of late vs smaller teams with draws vs villa and bournmuth. they done amazing if get top four.

City are think are still the only long term threat if they wake up this season. they been their and worn the t-shirt and won leagues but the question is how much they want the title. look like their waiting for pep and going through the motions.

great chance to go seven clear of them on sunday which be a big moment in title race

key is to make sure we way ahead of them before teams go their in may.

if they pull way away from city, then league is done.

[modd]

they both draw each other, arsenal play reading in semi finals and then beat west ham or everton in final.

love to see them win thrid fa cup in a row. but league the target.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

their nerve and most of their in-form players they will be dangerous. Inexperience won't count for much if the games pass and they hold their lead. They are a far more confident side now than they were in October and they know this is their one n=big chance.

This City team doesn't want to play for their manager anymore and that's not going to change till the summer. 4th.

[modd]

at the back to be fair but their rentless pressing was truly speical and had messi, xavi and inesta all at their very peak.

messi a good player but nowhere near what he once was. they different team now, less good then pep team but a more direct team reliant on goals of three good attackers.

The team were in the game for 70 mintues but we bit silly in overcommiting at 0-0 but their you go.

in end give it a go second leg and see what happens. got to many important games coming up in league to worry to much of about that free hit of a game.

be fun trip though for the fans travlling to the nou camp. wonderful stadium and did a tour of it on holiday last year.

[modd]

little experience of winning anything and they not natural attack team side. pefer playing on counter attack and struggled to break down likes of vlla and bournmuth of late

Think in end if they get top four and keep united out they done amazing and hope they make top four. but best hope for them is that

city is still not out of it. they were eight points behind with six games left in 2012 and behind liverpool with few games left in 2014. they look like they have litte motivatio but their the only team that could stop us winning the league due to the fact they got ablity to go on winning run.

deep down though this year for arsenal for the taking. only they can truly lose it.

if they get some good results in big away games from now to march then frankly should win last five from seven to clinch the league in may.

all about grabbing the league now and keeping the nerve. leicester last mintue win was big stepping stone now So time to to push on.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

They are 12 points clear of Otd. No doubt for me they'll be top four.

City in 2012 wanted it, not sure they want it this time round.

We need the returning players: Alexis, Welbz, Coq, then Jack and Santi to make a big impact in the run-in.

[The Tony]

For a moment I was starting to think about some of the old glory nights back at Highbury.

Shame....don't think Barca are all that...Messi just gives them that X factor...Suarez and Neymar sure just there for the fear factor and to help crested pace for Messy to do his thing....the rest are just a bunch of average players and ageing stars.

Mar droid are far more daunting for me...

The lads will be hurting especially after what Arsene said...who knows....if we can keep it tight for 80 minutes and then nick one then at least we'll get a storming final 10 minutes....equalise and then it's a nervy 30 minutes in the house camp with the away goals in our favour.

[redgunamo]

The point they start at in football is the point the rest of us would be just happy to get close to.
