Cesc will stick it out for many years at Barca. He gets it tougher from the barca fans because firstly, he left and secondly because he played in the PL, which barca fans believe is beneath them.

Cesc is a smart man, he knows if he came back, arsenal would only use his talents to reduce any prospective prospective player purchases so that the objective of CL cash it met. He asked Wenger directly what his plans were, so I'm sure he is well aware of what is happening at this club.

Barca missed Tito out there, losing 3-1 at home for any club is bad, all their players underperformed, madrid got their tactics perfect.

Would have him back in a heartbeat, quality player. Simple as that in my book.

Good to see that his hamstrings are now able to go two games without blowing up since getting away from our medical staff

Fuck him, he stitched us right up the last year.

I do think he's a far better player than Cazorla though.

Didn't he spend most of his last season with us injured with hamstring problems that our medical staff could fuck all about?

My view has totally changed, I want my widdle Cesc back :(

How on earth did he stitch us up? Did he have one good season like Nasri or Hleb and then instruct his agent to get him a move? Did he allow his contract to run down to the last 12 months like Van Persie?

Did he bollocks. He stuck around for 6 years or so of playing losing football watching his dick of a manager sell all the top names that were around him when he first broke through as a 17 year old and replace them with substandard dross from Ligue 1 year after year.

Cazorla fails against the big teams yet he is one of our best players now so we love him. In Cesc we had a player who also failed to command the big games. We waste 150 Million on wages a year now on players who lets face it are the worst squad we have had under Wenger.

Cazorla or Cesc. Is there really a debate worth having? Cesc by a mile. Would love to see him return one day.

And I don't agree with people who say he stitched us up, he's a whore etc. Load of crap. He was at Arsenal long enough, long enough to become fed up and decide to move on. I always thought he intended to stay a couple of seasons longer before returning home, but with what was going on around him and seeing his mates move on, I don't blame him. Not at all.

Absolutely. Cazorla is a good player, would be an asset to any squad but he drifts in and out of games and is hardly unknown to disappear for 90 minutes. For years Fabregas carried what was an otherwise pretty average side, knew how to play the 'English game' (but with 100 times more quality) and was generally an absolute joy to watch and support.

Took the whores at 6/4 to qualify for next round. Poor enough odds considering they're 2 down and 1 away goal away from being screwed but thought it worth a punt considering Milan were always only going to come and park the bus.

Fuck me that was close :oops: Milan hit the post.

Pivotal 3 minutes there. Milan should have made it 1-1, 20 seconds later - Messi 2 zip.
