    I really don't feel as upset as I thought I would be.

    yeah sometimes a tip of the cap to the one who just kicked our ass is necessary.

    Yeah but it is starting to feel like yet another emptyhanded season...

    The draw with Birmingham is going to haunt us. We'd be one point behind Chelsea and a point up on ManU had we won that game.

    Arsenal didn’t get knocked out by Barca, we were knocked out by Messi. Messi was brilliant, the rest of the Barca team were average.

    Constantly throwing themselves to the ground not only at the slightest contact, but even when there was no contact at all.

    The ironic thing being Messi had such a great game, because he kept his feet, and persisted after the ball rather than cheating by trying to trick the ref.

    Of all the Arsenal injuries, I thought Song was the most damaging one. Had he played defensive midfield, he would have gone a long way to shutting down Messi.

    Agreed, but Xavi was running the show behind the scenes. Apart from that, they dived until the cows came home.
