Very odd signings. Didn't think Mourinho went in for big name signings. Carlos, in particular, has lived of his name for most of his career. Certainly isn't his defending. If their choices up front are Sheva and Eto'o - i'd rather they got Sheva. Be more worried by Eto'o these days.

He's so quick and the crossfield pass (usually from Ronaldinho) played for him to run into the box and latch on to works a treat almost every time.

Fair point! For being such a brilliant, beautiful player - he's so bloody joyless!

Guily is so quick. I was raving about Iniesta a few weeks ago. One of the ITV team said he was "only a bit-part player at Barca". WOn't be for much longer! He's magic.

I just thought he made a fool of himself. I've never liked him and Arsenal as a team have gone down in my estimation this season. Big girls!

Not the same as Henry saying "Maybe I should go down, but I'm not a woman" - when he had no complaints with Eboue.

Carra would never whinge and pass the buck like that. Or moan about diving when one of his own players had diver to win a vital free-kick. In comparison, both Lehmann and Campbell spoke very well and gracefully.

He was right to state Larsson changed the game, but to say he saw nothing of Eto'o was ridiculous.

"The problem with Fletcher is he is, how you say, a bag of s****"

Too right. That lad is class. Xabi and Xavi were amazing against England when they played together, though. Looking forward to seeing Villa. Haven't seen much of him. Bet Raul starts first game, his replacement comes on and scores and Raul spends rest of tourny on bench!

He could say a million nice things about us or our captain - he's still a prick, IMO. Great player but such a poser.

Was that taken at last nights game? Rafa's one hand in the pocket look rocks!

Figaro - did you not mention Aragones loved Xabi and Xavi and would prob start them? Or was that someone else? I'd like to see them do well. Surely they will eventually!

Henry is great, but as someone has already said, he's not - and won't ever be - in the same league as Maradona. People like Maradona and Pele are in a league of their own.

Gullit was talking about the prospect of Rijkaard leaving. Was rumour he was off to AC Milan, wasn't there?

Well, he was a gooner last night! Regardless of the performance of the ref - which was awful (for both sides) - Gray was a disgrace. A bloody irritating one too. At one point Tyler said "we'd still be saying this if it was the Barca keeper sent off" Gray piped up with "of course we would". Like f*** they would have. Henry did something last night to which Gray said "he shouldn't be apologising. This is business." Nice sentiment, but kind of spoilt by his 90 minute moan about the ref not using "common sense" over Lehmann - even though he technically made the decision he had to. f***ing Sky!

I love him. He's class. Someone will snap him up if he doesn't start more games at Barca. Brilliant player.

Tell you what - he never backed us last year with such emotion and bias.

Exactly. If it was a Barca player - a nasty, evil player from the continent - spouting that kind of bulls*** the English media tear him to shreds for that level of bitterness. Henry is a t***. An attention-seeking, smug poser. And he's made a fool of himself.

Not sure if its been mentioned, but that was the worst, most biased, irritating Andy Gray performance of all time. Was disgraceful, actually. Moaned like a Frenchman about the ref all nite (I admit he was crap) and the "injustices" Arsenal would be feeling - but said nowt about things like the dive for the free kick. It was embarrassing. And then (a very graceful) Lehmann is interviewed by that wee scrote Shreeves and says he things the first goal was offside and says "you'd know better - it was offside?" Shreeves: "Correct". Wrong you little ball-bag. Was so infuriating. At least Gullit spoke somoe unbiased sense. BTW - we should buy Iniesta!

Good of him to point out that he doesn't dive around cos he's "not a woman". Wonder if he'll say the same thing to his cheating team-mate who won the free kick. Slap it up him.
