AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I bought a Henry Barca shirt when he signed for them, was initially gutted as it looked like he was going to flop. As usual a class player was written off to soon though, seems to be getting back to his old self now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 How's Henry done at Barca, generally speaking? Done rather good, generally speaking, Aye, on average good. One poor season, and one brilliant season so far. Wasn't he still Barca's top scorer in all comps last season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Barcelona will get knocked out of the CL because the Spanish league is very weak comparitavely and English teams don't stand around like zombies whilst Xavi et al ping the ball around like the globetrotters. In the past few years foreign teams have just floundered against the English side, as mucha s I'd like to see Barcelona play dazzling football and destroy everyone in the CL, I think there's a good chance they will be scuppered over 3 games vs English CL sides.

Quite right. Arsenal might struggle against Barca because they don't get stuck in enough, but in general, English sides put the willies up Spanish sides.

Taylor Swift Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Or last year when Barca happily sprayed passes around Man Utd but only lacked the finishing touch? Please, on their day, Barca are the best that football have to offer. Man Utd won it last year with a magnificent goal but they relied heavily on counter-attacking because they couldn't keep up with Barca's passing. If they had pressed further up, especially at the Nou Camp, they would have been beaten easily; Ferguson knew it as well which was why they played their most defensive game in a long, long time. If any English team decide that they're going to press further up the pitch and harry Barca's midfielders, they're going to get ripped to bits. I hope it happens.

Also the year before Chelsea beat Barca in the group, and we knocked them out in the last 16 (as Chelsea did to them in 2004/5), and Chelsea beat the remaining Spanish side, Valencia. Last season, Chelsea beat Valencia in the group stage and Man Utd knocked out Barca in the only other English-Spanish match. In fact, Barca's victories against Arsenal and Chelsea in 2006 are the only times a Spanish side has beaten an English one in the CL since 2005 (including group stage home and away ties), compared to the six Spanish losses against four different English sides (excluding the group stage).

Mr. Snrub Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Arsenal unlucky? I don't think so. Play should have continued when Lehmann brought down Eto'o, meaning Giuly's goal should have stood. Not forgetting Eboue's pathetic dive to win the free kick that Arsenal scored from. Arsenal were very lucky to be 1-0 up, not unlucky to lose 2-1. It was justice.
