First off, 'domination' in a football match does take on different definitions. All I said was it's only Arsenal fans that seem to think they were overall the better side. Neutrals say otherwise; either way, it was still a phenomenal Arsenal display
And the 'interfering with play' thing always reminds me of the famous Brian Clough quote ;D

I think I understand what paul means. Arsenal didn't have more possession. Also, Barcelona had a goal disallowed which I thought was strange (haven't had a proper look but though that messi was onside as well), and arshavin handled in the area near the end so they should of had a penalty. I can't forget the two chances with messi which I thought he would have put away.
Arsenal did have more shots though and whenever they did get the ball they seemed to be more of a threat when attacking. Walcott, in particular whenever he got the ball I thought he would lay on a pass to someone and arsenal would score. Van persie should of done better with at least two of his chances (one went over, the other side netting).
I thought barcelona had alot of the ball and I hated the way arsenal were chasing for it as im so used to arsenal holding the ball for long. But that what liverpool did when they played barcelona at their ground, they pressurised them and didn't give them a moment piece and they got their reward by beating them.
If liverpool can do it then so can arsenal. Im sure at the nou camp, it will be more or less the same type of game as wednesday, barcelona holding alot of the ball but arsenal being more effective with the ball when they get it! I remember what happened last time but arsenal had some important players out injured. Fabregas being one of them. Even nasri just came back from injury. This is one of the reasons why I think arsenal could do it. Or, is it wishful thinking. I can't wait for the return ;D

VERY unlucky for Arsenal.

Sorry but thats extremely harsh on him. If Kosceilny never dithered in front of him and actually made a decision, he would of easily caught it. Kosceilny could of kicked it away or left it for the goalie. Either decision would of averted the goal. We played extremely poor and Birmingham deserved the result. After yesterday, I wanted the season to end as I've lost faith in them. We have little chance of getting past Barcelona, and I still think the title is heading to Old Trafford. As for the FA Cup, the way we've played in the cups this year, it wouldn't surprise me to see an upset to happen. |

Birmingham utterly deserved to win. Either way, as a Spurs fan, I found it fantastic!! ;D |

As for the FA Cup, the way we've played in the cups this year, it wouldn't surprise me to see an upset to happen. Agreed. Kosceilny should of cleared it as soon as he attempted to. He pulled out at the last second, right in front of szczesny. The way I see it, arsenal only lost because of a mistake. Not forced by pressure from them. Just a complete error. Birmingham deserved to win? Who was man of the match  Don't worry, I do agree that arsenal didn't have their best game. Who cares about the carling cup, anyway ;D Arsenal are still capable of winning the title. Lets see what happens between man utd and chelsea. Man utd don't win many games away from old trafford although they did thrashed wigan. Hopefully, rooney will be banned for the crucial games! |

Important game for us tonight.. Even though were not 100% on our full squad like Fabregas is 90% fit, Wenger is not giving the full light on Van Persie's fitness for the tonights game. Walcott is out, Song is out. Pique & Puyol is set to miss this match as well so not a full defense on the barca side. This game could go either way, lets hope it goes to the Arsenal side...  And as I predicted, we get knocked out. We just carry on wearing the Nearly Men tag  |

I can see us beating Man Utd but not lifting the FA Cup and I still will go with my pre season prediction of Man Utd to win the league. And everyone thought Chelsea would retain it. John, I hope Tottenham or even if its a slim chance, Liverpool, take that last Champions League place rather than those scummy Blues  |

It's a tight one btwn Chelsea and Spurs - shouldn't have dropped points at the weekend - we threw away a 3-2 lead - hopefully we'll beat West Ham this time round and take back our rightful spot - 4th place ;D but we have to deal with AC Milan first |
