you been smoking stuff of the stuff most arsenal fans have been smoking tonight?

he's played once in his favoured role against uruguay...

tell you what, let's drop him and play fat frank....suits me fine as he'll be fresh for next year

40 plus caps and he's only played in his favoured position once? Its you thats been smoking something. Great players can adapt to the changes, after all its not like Henry started life as an out an out striker is it ;)

Plenty of players play the game out of their favoured position, the great ones can still boss games or win games doing it.

Arsenal were robbed? :confused:
Ref had a Barca shirt? :confused:

Lehman was rightly sent off.
Barcelona had a goal wrongly dissallowed
Arsenal scored from a freekick won by a dive.
Simulation is a bookable offence
Eboue was already on a yellow card when he dived to win the freekick

Not like they were too hard done by really..

The ref was poor, yes, but biased, hardly.

Wow.
25 pages and now a sensible post.
You're letting the side down Andi.

Lehman has had that coming to him all season , just a shame it was such a big stage.
I have no sympathy for the clown.

I thought Henrys interview after the game was a little bitter tbh.

Arsenal battled well but it wasnt enough , I thought Barca were the better side.

I also love the Arsenal fans moaning about the cinical , dirty fouls by the Barca midfield.
Kettle , pot , black.

I agree, that the ref made a few poor decisions but I dont think he was biased against Arsenal, Henrik Larsson was the difference between the 2 sides, 2 great touches to set up the goals.

Henry shouldve scored, then it wouldnt have mattered what the ref did.

Still a good entertaining game though.

Oh, also when Lehman commited the foul most of the Barca players were jestering to the ref to send him off........which actually is a bookable offence!

ronaldinho did that too, but since the ugly goof faced **** is 'the best player in the world' he didn't get booked

11 against 11 they were the better team creating the better chances, so why do you think they'd have been outplayed?

The goal would have stood, and just the motivation to get another, what did Arsenal do when they scored? What did Barca do when they scored?

Bit of a suprise but he is/was a Liverpool fan as a kid. Ive seen pics of him as a kid with Liverpool kits on (86 Cup final for starters). There must be a reason or its been edited

No its not edited, Ive seen it in football magazines and the goals section of the sun. If it was edited i'm sure he wouldve put a stop to it.

If I was a liverpool fan there's no way i'd ever be seen in a everton kit ;)

Perhaps thats he real reason for wanting to bail on liverpool every summer, he always looks sheepish, maybe its wearing the red ;)

Our midfield isn't as clinical as it used to be and when we were, everybody whined about how dirty we were, so surely we're also entitled to do the same when another team does it to us.

oh right, is that the case....is that why i was slated for saying stevie is versatile on here? moreso than fat frank...

i can bet my bottom dollar he'd be better than rat boy at right back..... right back champions league final last year anyone?

how is he supposed to perform with the definition of over rated alongside him?

he's been forced to play a defensive role for england, and as you know like sissoko this year, they don't get as much praise as the glory hunters further up the pitch....
 
ah well....

it was nearly there but not to be...

henry normally puts the chances away like the 2 he got... but for some reason it didnt happen.

seems a let down this years final.... i think liverpool have spoilt us for finals in the last year.

next up.... world cup

If its not edited then there must be a reason, he was only young then, maybe he was led astray then saw the light

Hate to go off topic but weve seen this only the weekend.

West ham...............far better team in fa cup, end up losing.

Arsenal...........far better team, end up losing.

oh well :p

Arsenal far better were you watching a different match?

Look on the bright side Ronaldinho was poor, if he had played well you would have been totally mullerated, Alumina was rubbish 1 nutmeg 1 to his near post.

No Henri next season are you sure you lot actually want the CL now.

And how many games of his fourty plus caps has Lampard or Rat boy as you call him been alongside him? After all it's all lampards fault.
 
Apart from the whining by several Arsenal players after the match, that the ref could have played the advantage & let the goal stand (with 11 v 11) as an alternative - am I not right in thinking under the advantage rule, he could also have let play go on, allow the goal & still go back and send Lehman off.

Perhaps they're lucky he didn't do that.....
