As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
How there are so many Gooners so flippant about last night is beyond me - I dont care how much some of you hate barca cos surely your hatred of a domestic rival, especially one containing a pikey racist, a fat pie eating c**t and a judas rent boy, should be the sentiment of the day
I bet it's the same Arsenal "supporters" who in last few years would quite happily tell everyone who dared questioning clubs and manager's policy, to "go and support Chelsea". The irony is tragicomical.

16 trophies won out of the last 20 they have competed in and two CL wins.Yes Pep is a culpable as Wenger
I do think he is heading that way though, tippy tappy football, ageing backline, focus on youth which from what i've seen doesn't look good enough. Guadiola will quit (i believe) at the end of the season and leave barca in the proverbial.
Yeah and the board at Barca will sit back and let that happen.Just like the board of Madrid sat on their hands and did nothing.They will spend big again this summer.What if Mourinho leaves Real? Will Madrid fall apart? Thank god we have a manager who is not going anywhere.We wouldnt want our club to be in the shit would we

The only good thing that will come out of Chavs win last night...from now on, every time team decides to park the bus and dfend with 11 men in their own half for entire 90/180 minutes will be known as "doing Chelsea"

Doesnt matter that they parked the bus they won and winning is all that matters. If we had done exactly as the chavs did last night down to 10 men, 2-0 down, against the best team the world has ever witnessed according to pundits and fans alike it would go down as one of the most historic nights in our history. I hated every minute of it and hope the chavs get stuffed in the final but you have to give them credit for last night

Well quite. After Alan Smith scored against Parma, we parked the bus, won the CWC and as I danced with delight should I have really been thinking "well that wasn't very pretty to watch, I wish Parma had won because they play with more flair"
People seem to forget that pre-Wenger (yes there really was a club called Arsenal before 1996) we took great delight in "boring boring Arsenal" and "1-0 to the Arsenal" when we were sticking one on so called superior sides. Now of course we prefer the moral high ground of lovely sideways passing and an empty cabinet

Let's try to keep things in perspective mate, for they haven't won anything yet. With a bit of luck, they will be playing in Europa league next year. And Scousers might win FA Cup. We still might be having last laugh.
