Anyone watch the Arsenal-Barcelona game today? Probably the best game of the Champions League so far.

Yes, I did. I am impressed they hung in and fought back. Proud of my Gunners.

Not sure what happened. 2 up and then level! Too bad henry could not make a difference. Thought Messi had a decent game despite not scoring

Awsome game! Barcelona completely dominated the first half. After Arsenal made their subs (not Arshavin) the game completely turned around. There was some great goalkeeping on display too.

Walcott made all the difference. His speed put Barcelona on their heels. They should have been up by 6 goals by the end of the first half. Hopefully the second leg will be just as entertaining..

Well, that was poor.

Agreed. But a point is a point.
Reina made some spectacular saves in the first half.

Yes, indeed, Reina made up for just about every mistake he's ever made.

Glen Johnson needs to wake up, Jovanovic needs to find some passing accuracy, Lucas could do with some balance. Konchesky was looking pretty good, we just need him and Fabio fit now. Maxi did OK, I spose. Torres and Gerrard need to find it within themselves to want to play. Don't get me wrong, Stevie was trying, just looking like he's losing faith! Poulsen looked a bit shell shocked at times. Carra and Skrtel were average, but pulled it out of the bag when needed. Agger ain't a left back, so we won't comment on his short time on the pitch.

Let me know if I missed anything!

Ahhh, why do the Gunners do this to me?

Totten looked good. Not completely there yet... but solid

Chelsea is not looking too good. First Sunderland, now Birmingham

I think this has been a topsy-turvy week, I'd resigned myself to the fact that Liverpool were gonna lose... BUT WE WON!

Anyone watching the alm-barca game? 37th minute and already 5-0!

[reggiebuckeye]

Arsenal fan venting.

Can we truly get relegated? This is painful. No defenders. No attack. Stupid fouls. No replacements with any experience. I don't want to watch them in the Championship. Send help now!!!!!

[mastershogun]

anyone watching the real/barca game right now?

[pnoon]

Unfortunately, no.
