Lex Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Vaguely recall hearing a stat last week that no team had ever progressed in the UCL after losing a home leg 2-0...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Not doubting that for a minute, I don't think it's absurd to claim that Arsenal had the better chances before Barcelona scored, though.They had the Chamberlain chance and that was about it for clear cut ones. Barca could've had five if Neymar could pass or Suarez could finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 How overrated is "The Ox" Who overrates him ??? He is a decent squad player no more ; that would be the general consensus. Not many make him out as a world beater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Arsenal lacked the real quality to punish Barcelona who were there for the taking tonight . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Medeiros Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Vaguely recall hearing a stat last week that no team had ever progressed in the UCL after losing a home leg 2-0...? This Arsenal team have already set CL records this year. It's not a team to write off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock it on the head mate, yer banters shite as are Arsenal. They are severely lacking in most departments and will be dismantled by a Barca team in second gear. They would be better concentrating on the league where they have a very decent chance given their run in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latino Lover Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 At it. Comfortable for Barcelona in the end, who didn't really have to go hell for leather to get the two goals. Actually thought Arsenal were marginally better before the first goal, but their woeful lack of elite talent throughout the team was telling. McManaman, though, and the c**t "Fletch". No better than Lawrenson when ITV had the CL. Must have missed lawrenson at itv, unless I'm being wooshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Glad Messi scored all I kept hearing was "Messi's never scored against Cech". So boring Arsenal do their best to bottle the Last 16 after scraping through in their group just like they do every season. Pleasing. That's a bit like saying Andy Murray bottles it in finals against Djokovic. They came up against a vastly better team and played reasonably well, but still lost out due to a brilliant counter attack and an individual defensive mistake.

Although missing massive chances at 0-0 like the one Chamberlain missed is bottling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 No, it's like saying some no-hoper diddy got trounced by Djokovic in the last 16. Correct. If Barcelona went out, it'd just be someone else, probably much worse, papping them out. They're not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Correct. If Barcelona went out, it'd just be someone else, probably much worse, papping them out. They're not very good. As was proved last year when they finally got a favourable draw, only to be papped out by Monaco at the same stage. They're just not a top team in Europe.

craigkillie Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 It's the consistency that blows me away. They get to the last 16 every single year, and they lose every single year. It's not like one year they don't make it, then the next year they hit a quarter or a semi. This will be their sixth consecutive elimination at this exact round.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 No, it's like saying some no-hoper diddy got trounced by Djokovic in the last 16. if you cross reference the UEFA rankings with the LTA rankings then the comparison is with Tsonga (9th) or David Ferrer(8th) getting beaten by Murray (2nd).
