I wondered how he missed that until I saw the back page of The Times this morn ing... that would be Maldini or Nesta pullign his shirt all the way back
Quality defence from AC tbf in general

Beat by the superior team im afraid, faster more skilful and just better at the end of the day. Other fans will pick hols in our team ill just say they have the depth of squad to bring on Xavi and Etoo.
Lets be fair, how many teams can challenge a team whose front line consists of Eto'o, Henry, Ronaldinho and Messi

Not surprising given the age of your team and the fact that Prem league is generally faster anyways, never mind the fact that very few teams are as fast as Arsenal

yes but its not that noticeable when you watch MOTD, as you say the english league is much faster. was just a reality check to see the major difference in pace
Pato's a lovely little lad tho

Classy player for what 17/18/19... Kaka was very quiet though, well defended I presume as he had a couple of moments! Seedorf is still good for pushign 40 (joke, i know he sonly 30/31 but he looks 40!)

We made a game of it no doubt and we can be proud. I'd much rather be sitting saying we lost 3-2 on the back of a decent performance where we played the right way and tried to win the game rather than sit with 10 men behind the ball and come away with a nil nil. Strachan made a decent point that their front 3 makes in a week what our back 4 cost, fair play!
on the contrary i would rather be able to say that we stopped the best attacking team in the world scoring
0-0 over 3-2 any day of the week,and you would have took 0-0 without even thinking about it before last nights game.
also how exactly did you try to play the right way? barca had 70% of the ball with roughly 500 passes completed compared to your 30% and roughly 150 passes completed.
talk about sour grapes..

On the contrary i wouldn't, our fans still clapped the players off the pitch as they gave it their all and tried to win a football match rather than try to stop the other team doing so i.e. anti-football.
We tried to play the right way as we were in the lead twice against the favourites for the Champions League, 2 times more than Rangers seeing as your trying to bring comparisons into it when i wasn't particularly interested in doing so.
