  1. #1

    Remember when Barcelona played us off the Emirates' park that time,

    and we marvelled at their fitness and stamina (or their doping regime, depending on your view). Noticing how full of ginger our players were at penalties the other night, it would seem we at least appear to have bridged THAT particular gap with Europe's best.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    That Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Pedro, Villa front 6 is the best of all time and I won't accept any other opinion.

    They were up there. Never seen a side that could ruthlessly cut teams open at will or wouldn't even let them touch the ball for more than 3 or 4 passes as well as that Barca side tho.

    Their level of organisation without the ball and the intensity of the press was something I had never seen before. Incredible.

    I was there that night. A lot of Arsenal players didn't want the ball during that first half.
