I've got to say, I'm a little cheesed. It annoys me how Arsenal players talk about Barcelona and how their players talk about Arsenal. Barcelona's players are too up their own arses to show the slightest hint of respect to Arsenal. We must have irritated them at some point, or maybe they see us as their biggest threat and they realise that we will be a better team than them very soon.

Xavi and Sergio Biscuits have the audacity to question our 'ambition'. Oh sorry, is it a lack of ambition to protect a lead? Did Inter Milan show a lack of ambition last season when they played even more defensively than us there last season? They simply can't take it that we beat them at their own game in the first leg, even then they came out with comments such as 'we were superior' when they weren't and the statistics prove that. And they even have the bitterness to have a go at us when they beat us! They are like a bunch of kids.

Here is what Biscuits said:

"If anything should disappoint Arsenal it is not the ref but how little ambition they showed"

And now Xavi:

"We were superior to them from start to finish,"

"Arsenal barely had a shot on goal and their only goal was scored by our player. They didn't want the ball and our tempo of play and our intensity was always going to see us through."

Xavi in particular must be scared of us or constantly irritated by our team because he can't stop whinging about us and coming out with bitter, disrespectful comments. Remember in the summer when he was the chief of the 'Tap up Cesc Fabregas' team with his disrespectful comments about how 'maybe he'll come in January when Arsenal are out of the title race'? Well Mr Dick Head, we're still in it and the man you constantly wank to every night is still at our club. Pique, Puyol and Messi have all come out with disrespect towards Arsenal in the last few months and it's not on.

His 'their only goal was scored by our player' comment is perhaps just trying to hide to fact that they are so vulnerable at the back and on set pieces.

Someone has to do something about them to shut them up, discipline them whenever they try tapping up our players (which they criticise and call inferior- well they can't be that inferior if you're begging for them to come to your club).

I like how our players don't sink to their level but I wish they wouldn't compliment them all the time, such as Sagna this time and others like Fabregas.

Whether you're the best team in Europe or not, you don't have the right to behave this way ALL the time. Not that they are, they just think they are. Did they win the Champions League last year? No. So why do they think they're the best about? They might be this season, I admit that but they are too arrogant and (again) disrespectful to see any other possibility.

I think the reason for their bitterness and disrespect is fear or because they still haven't got their own way for once with trying to sign Fabregas. They are just spoilt, thick babies.

Mean Lean's Response

Thank you TL Gooner,

The difference between the two clubs is class. Arsenal are well known for having class in almost everything that we do, Barcelona will never have that regardless of how many trophies they have won in recent times.

I do admire their football and it is difficult to fault them on that front but their behaviour last summer was just disgusting and I will never like them as a club for that. They are sneaky, arrogant and murky. You would never ever see Arsenal behave in that manor.

As for the way we played, we will get criticised either way and I think if you do not except that then you will just go insane. We held the advantage after the first leg and that seems to have been lost in the minds of many.

If we approached the game all guns blazing and got caught out on the break we could have been 3-0 down by half time and what use would that have been?

We get told by every Tom, Dick and Hansen that we do not know how to defend and it will take a Mourinho style performance to get a result in Barcelona, then we do a very good job of that in the first half minus an awful Cesc mistake late in the half, then we are told we are totally outplayed and have not had any shots on target. At 1-1 WE DID NOT NEED ANY SHOTS ON TARGET (need to get this keyboard fixed)

I would understand that point if we were losing 2-0 after the first leg, had 11 players on the pitch for 90 minutes and sat back and invited pressure on us then everyone would have a right to jump on their high zebra, donkey, horse or whatever.

Anyway Barcelona can stick their heads where the sun don't shine, hell would be a good location. We are smack bang in the middle of a title race. We are improving and have a young squad so I am sure we will get our revenge on them at some point.

Up the Arsenal.

  stupid article
  they are trophy winners, we are trophy WHINERS
  they have earnt the right to speak like that and I agree. We went there lacking ambition and played with 7 men (fabregas, rvp were injured and diaby/rosicky were disgraceful)
  what we should be whineing about are why on earth would anyone say we are macho? Why Nasri why? you were destroyed by alves

  Xavi is worried about Arsenal cause he is whinging about you means Weenger is worried about Stoke cause he always opines on them even when it is not even a game that Arsenal was involved in (Totenham game and rugby tactics)
  
  I wanted Arsenal to beat Barcelona cause I hate them, but you are our version of Barecelona. A team of diving whiners

  which of your players did they want?
  Henry went there and in the end didnt get playing time.kept coming off the bench.if he had been so important to them he wouldnt have moves to MLS just yet.
  Hleb went there and never made it...
  If they wanted Cesc so bad,why didnt they pay for what he was worth?

  so what da fuck was that performance all about on tuesday !
  we wre that shit it made them look even better than they are !
  i thought they would have learned that you cant let a team like barca with their swift ,sharp ,accurate passing play we needed to get in their faces and STOP them ,lower teams in our league do this to us week in week out ,it wasnt untill Arshavin came on that he himself got stuck in and it worked ,Bentners "chance" came from Arshavins persistence,some of our players need to take a good long look at themselves !
  Wenger, players with BALLS please !
