2 trophies in 20 minutes of play.... Must be some type of record.... Hehehhe damn wenger.... You can see people like nasri + fabregas + arshavin had had enough there.... I reckon its not long before they boot arshavin out and he can move on and play great creative football again.... Arsenal strangles the talent of these players and requires them to carry the team in every game because there are no leaders to step up to the plate
It might sound like a stupid excuse but after the game it feels that with villasBoas and falcao the story would have had a different ending. Barca's defence sucked today, but Porto didn't have anyone to take advantage of this. Hulk ohjjj. What a useless Talent. Yes he is class, yes he can dribble but for what he doesn't pass the freaking ball. He is typical Brasilian striker, too much dribble, not very efficient. And everything that he does has to be freaking pretty. He can't just pass the ball. It was so frustrating seeing him play
Yes, I too believe that the exact same Porto that won the Europa league would've given a greater challenge to Barca.
However the idea I don't agree on is the one that suggest that against that Porto, Barca's defence would still have made the mistakes they made in this game. That's not true because football is very unpredictable. I may as well say against that Porto, Barca would've had an even greater performance.
Oh man you didn't know.... That's guardiola's first lesson when you get to Barca. Herd it from alexis sanchez himself.... Didn't you see he is a pro already...
You're right I'm hating, hating the fact that a team as talented as Barca still has so many players that not only dive, but then act like their leg is broken. Villa has shown himself to be a poon when he slapped Ozil in the face, this game just solidified the fact
@Dabowlski Yeah that Mascherano pissed me off. He killed a sure goal scoring opportunity. If the ref had awarded the penalty against Abidal then I would have been even more pissed at Mascherano
@Kingleo Yeah but the worst part is that the porto player was the one who got a yellow for the mascherano dive lol. Mascherano doesn't deserve to play for barca he makes to many dumb mistakes
Ronaldo does not dive anymore. Plus, half the people that call out dives do not play football. When you are running full speed and you try to evade a tackle or run into a tackle you will fly. What people should criticize is the rolling on the floor or flopping around like a fish out of water. It hurts, be a man, it cannot possible be as bad as rubber bullets to the sheen. "which should be the punishment for play acting"
Villa does not dive I don't know what you people see. For a good part of the game villa is on the left wondering around until he gets caught offsides.... When does he have time to dive? Ohhh but I guess you would come up with something like that right...
Freddy f****d up.... Too bad he has so much class.... Hope that arsenal rumor is truth.... He would be an amazing additon for the gunners. If he goes there, only then I would start to believe that Arsenal can pass the group stage of the champions league. His distance shot is freaking deadly.... Valdes barely caught that
Oh please, spurs has more depth. Only 1 season in champions league and they couldn't finish in top 4. Arsenal has been competing in 4 cups every season for a long time now
People don't watch Barcelona to watch good football anymore.... It seems the only reason people watch them now is to find ONE single playacting or referee mistake and call us cheats . I'd do that for the other teams, your Real Madrids, your Chelseas, your Man Utds, but who cares! So keep on hating
No, no man you got it wrong.... We watch barcelona cause they happen to be in the finals.... Otherwise we wouldn't. I'm actually getting tired of watching them. I'd like to see some other teams with a different football get to the finals. Ok messi is the best player in the world we got it. Can sports papers stop talking about it every day
Congrats to Barca, they can play better but they did enough. Fabregas is a great addition to this team. Porto did well, except the end.... But, I think they showed today how to play Barca. To have any chance you have to press very high in the field and not only from your own half. Porto was unfortunate not to score and mistake from defender was deadly for them
What has Barcelona been winning last season? Just about everything? So if I played in the first team in Barcelona as a sub I would probably win trophies too. Hleb won trophies. He played 5 minutes a game, if he made it into a game. And for all those who said Barcelona made Cesc Fabregas. Maybe they did, but if they didn't play him in the first team at the age of 16.... He would be another hugely talented player with no experience hence no opportunities. He would be another one to get sold with a buyback clause. I admire Barcelona's play. But I can't accept how they would actually go to the lengths to tap up a player, say all this stuff about him being on a 'loan' or a victim of a 'kidnapping' buy him at a discounted price and now laugh at Arsenal for not winning trophies
The past two Cesc-less years for us was hell too mate. You guys taunted us with the fact that you had him, so why can't we? And if you don't believe me, your fans even sang "We've got Cesc Fabregas" in the Champions League round of 16 2010/2011
Why do you want Cesc Fabregas? Why was it Hell for you? Why wasn't it hell for you other Barcelona players just left. Bojan, Nolitio, Jeffren? Is it hell to you to see Pepe Reina playing for Liverpool? Get serious. I believe you, I wouldn't be surprised. What was chanting saying we had him going to do to your club? Did it hurt your feelings? Or did it affect your chances of a trophy? Lose the key part of your club, the captain? And I am pretty sure he knew where he was going for the whole of last season before it even started.
Keep winning trophies and just do your thing, instead of taunting every other club. Have some respect
I don't see anything in his comment that was taunting or disrespectful to Arsenal!? Plus, they are Barca fans they can do and say whatever they like, they are on top of the world right now, if Inter was as strong as Barca I would never shut up myself. LoL
@Canhead, when Abudhabi implies by saying ''being at the top of the world gives one the right to brag'' doesn't mean we can literally say whatever the hell we want. Lol
Get real man, Fabregas is by far > to Thiago. I hope you know the difference between ''being young and promising'' with ''being young and established''!
