I feel as bitter as Henry today! Crying or Very sad

We were the better side, they never outplayed us, but hey what can you do when the ref is a Barca fan. Next year we'll be back...

Told you Barca would win.

The referee was absolutely APPALLING. I could have reffed better than that. I did feel sorry for Arsenal, I thought they were going to do it. Eto'o's goal was just offside, but I don't you can disagree about Beletti's.

If Henry had taken his chances, you would have won - he could have had a hat-trick.

Feel sorry for Jens Lehmann - ref should have let the play go on as Giuly had the ball. I feel even more sorry for Pires - a frenchman taken off in Paris.

I have to question Arsene Wenger's substitutions. I would not have bought on Reyes - I would have bought on Bergkamp - fantastic player who the Premiership is going to miss.

In conclusion, a number of things contributed to Arsenal's downfall. Better luck next year Smile.

Now Im off down the pub.

Yep totally agree – the ref was appalling, and I was screaming at the TV every 5 minutes through his bad decisions. And I must say I HATE VAN BOMMEL – what a hacking little turd.

Felt for Lehmann – his shocked face just got to me – but it was a sending off. I felt for Pires also, he looked absolutely devastated – who can blame him (got a feeling that was his last game). Quality player though – always will be.

I knew Arsene would bring on Reyes – just a gut instinct, but yeah Bergy or Van Persie would’ve been better but ah well. I hope Bergkamp becomes the next Arsenal Manager - he’s class!

And Henry better bloody announce what he’s doing soon….

Roll on June 9th!

No he wasn’t……he knew we should’ve won. When they asked ‘Did the best side win?’ he was like NO, NO! Absolutely livid!

And the way he was speaking about Barcelona gets me thinking that he will stay with us, *fingers crossed*

My run down of the game:

Refereeing was crap, the red card was correct but the ref should have waited aad allowed to play continue becuase the ball was headed to a barca player. That goal should have counted

Henry could have won the game, he missed some easy shots.

The only reason arsenal lost was due to fatige.Barca got 2 gaols in about 15 mins of eachother, than passed the ball around taking advantage of thier extra man

Barcelona rule!!!!!!!!

no it doesnt


It means the Barca players have better fitness.

But a team with better players can score 3 goals in the first half, tire at around 70 minutes and defend. By that time you would have defenders and defensive midfielders on as subs anyway, so they could have easily won.

If Henry had put those 3 chances he had away, Arsenal would have won.

I disagree. The score should have been 3-0 to barcelona

The first gaol should have counted and the gaolie given a yellow card


The free kick that arsenal was awarded that resulted in their first gaol was by no stretch of the imagination a free kick. The arsenal player took a dive and should have actually been given a yellow card, not a free kick

Then Eto'o's goal and the winner they got would have made it 3-0

Im going on what happened.

So, Giuly's goal counts, Lehmann doesn't get sent off. 1 - 0
Campbell puts Arsenal on level terms. 1 - 1
Eto'o scores. 2 - 1
Beletti scores. 3 - 1.

So, like I said. If Henry put the 3 chances he had away, then Arsenal would have won 4- 3

EDIT - oh yeah it wasnt a free kick, but im going on what happened. Having said that, Eto'o was offside.
