Who was he sitting with?
Whoever it was he was having a nice laugh with him at half time with us 3-1 down. Makes you realize that players will never have the same feelings about Arsenal as us fans

Certainly looked like the big wigs of Barca he was happy to be chatting to with his team getting mullered

Yes I saw that You only have a choice of two ends. It's not like multiple choice, or University Challenge is it ?
I saw that too - you would have thought he might have thought before the coin toss what his options were.
He was concentrating on catching it

Brilliant...

Many a truer word spoken in jest Marc...

Yes, you got 765!!!

He was sat just behind the Arsenal club secretary (David Miles?), presumably amongst the Arsenal contingent. He shouldn't be castigated if people approach him to talk/ask for an autograph during the half-time interval.

I don't think it would have hurt them to have come back out after they'd got changed and after the home support had left the ground.

Maybe would have shown some empathy with 4600 people who were held hostage while the barca tourists went back to their hotels

Players do not give a shit about the people who pay there wages. Its sad but true. They do not care that we spend most of our wages on them, give up lots of days and put off other stuff for them.

Even if the players didn't give a shit, you'd think that someone in the backroom team would get a message through to them....its crap PR, and I'm sure Arsenal must have someone responsible for that!

The players sloping off has happened on MANY occassions following a defeat.

No douubt Wenger will put a comment in the programme in the next match apologising and stating the players were very dissapointed with the defeat blah blah blah................seen it all before.

Respect works both ways and if the team are only happy to show it when they win then they shouldn't expect anything back following a defeat.

I'm sure they are dissapointed, equally so are the people that actually spent money and time travelling out there.

majority of players aren't bothered, because the vast majority have never followed a club, in the sense of travelling, spending money and time etc.

I think that as we were so detached from the pitch maybe it seemed A better view for the players to clap from the centre circle. The players do give a shit but not as much as we would like. We live and breathe the Arsenal where as its a well paid job to them. Either way get used to travelling away and being almost ignored if it don't go our way...
Unless theo has a blinder and does his solo walk round like at the Grove.

Quite simply a spineless spiritless display.

We gave them far too much room and respect from the first whistle.

Messi was good but not that good. We let him run at us.

Even when we scored we looked scared, almost embarrassed.
Diaby's lack of vision to put Theo away for a possible second was the turning point as within 2 mins Messi had equalised.

We lacked any true effort in the second half.
Barca were looking for a comfortable second period but we didn't take up the mantle.

Rosicky's 'shot' summed it up.

Get rid of Gallas, Silvestre, Eduardo, Almunia, Rosicky and freshen the squad up.

They are too happy to rest on their laurels and high wages.
