In a world that has decided
That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

I'll be interested to hear Wengers excuses, as he can't really criticise Barcelona of being defensive, longball, bullying, North of the Watford gap bastards...
Nor (surely) can he be hypocritical enough to call them cheating, whining, foreigners.
As for me, I'll be watching Lyon v Bordeaux tonight and possibly toss a coin for the game I'll watch tomorrow

I fully expect Barca to hand down a real football lesson to Arsenal tonight and win by a comfortable margin. As this Champions League match blog points out Messi and Ibrahimovic are raring to go and will tear Wenger's men to pieces.
I also expect Arsene to react by getting his thugs at the back to try and kick chunks out of them like the giant hypocrite he is.

Interestingly a certain Nigel Winterburn was on R5 this morning - when asked how Arsenal would cope with Messi, he spent some time bemoaning the changes that have sidelined tough tackling - and said that in his day they would simply have kicked him off the park - but that nowadays as soon as you tackle someone "solidly" referees intervene for "aggressive play"....
hmmmmm....... I wonder why?

He did play under Wenger. I don't remember them being less effective as a back line under Wenger then under Rioch or GG - though they were getting on a bit by then!
