Arse or Barse?

I couldnt possibly say

shove it up yer...

A couple of seasons ago when the Arse were as arrogant as Chelski are now, I'd be behind Barca.

But now, if only to piss off Chelski, I'll be behind the Arse (ooh err!!)

Looking forward to it..Might have a punt on the Arse for added interest and better prices.No forlorn hope.

Erm is this actually on the telly? if so where and when?

LOL found it....was staring at sky guide for 10mins scratching me arse wondering here the fook it was I ask....and it appears...happens to me all the time grrrrrr.

Why is Gabby dressed like a Dentists receptionist on the game?

Mon the Barca For purely selfish Celtic related reasons - a) If Barca win, we go straight into the group stages. b) I'd love to see The King of Kings lift the Big Cup.

I got Arsenal at 2.92 on Betfair

That Ronald Mcdonald geezer Barca have is vastly overated

Arsenal for the French touch... but it is just a game...

Another dull match

what a game so far! sol campbell makes it 1-0, after lehman gets a red card and th Gunners down a man, can they do it?

cheatin cockneys! Good header though

Arsenal 10 men Barca 12 ( Ref )

it looks like Ars (that's what it says on my tv) are currently leading 1-0, and are about to win.

And just as you say that... its 1-1!

and now 2-1!

oh crap.

ref should have let play go on when Lehmann brought down Eto.

Would have been a better game.

Did he have the choice though? Maybe Old Monkey can enlighten us?

ah, well. what can you do.

hats off to Arsenal because word was they werent even going to score, they played their asses off and had Barca sweating. henry should have buried that late one though.

Nice to see the REF get a winners medal BASTARD

Barca

The Arsenal did well,but just before the red card was shown the Barcelona players with there hands in the air signaling for a card-What wankers they are,unsporting twats like the Argies.

Sweating big time. I can't possibly ever root for Arsenal, but they really had 'em on the ropes. Hope Bonzette's not too shattered though.

He's called King Of Kings for nothing.

I agree

What's all this crap about the ref??

Saying he ruined the game with the red card and should have played the advantage, allowed the Barca goal and let Jans Lehman stay on.

They were lucky he didn't allow the goal and then go back and show the red. Down to 10 and 1-0 behind.

And fuck me, Terry Henry is a fucking poor loser.

OK, the equaliser was boarderline. Could have been given offside. Crouch was the same on Sat and had his dis-allowed. But there was no way on the planet it was a free kick for Campbell's goal.

I was behind them all the way, but they need a bit of humility.

I thought Eboue should have had a second yellow for diving, not get a freekick that led to the Campbell goal. No contact at all on Eboue!

Really tough one to call, that decision. Technically he did the right thing, an act of serious foul play was punished, but he could have allowed an advantage to take place, but would then have had to go back and caution Lehmann. Been thinking about it ever since, and I am convinced he did the right thing by the letter of the law, which has to be his first concern.

Regardless of which teams were playing (as you know I hate Arsenal!) it was the right decision to send Lehmann off and award the freekick.

Funnily, just realised the ref did exactly the opposite to the ref in the second leg of the 2005 Champions League Semi at Anfield. :\ohwell:
