When was this Capello record? And if it only included league games but no European games, then in no way does it compare to ours.

Well, I will respectfully disagree with you. Real Madrid are definitely better than them, but not by a massive margin. As for Juventus, Atleti and PSG? I would doubt if those clubs are even marginally better than Arsenal.

That is nothing short of spectacular! #sunnyspl :lol:

The only team in Europe that is substantially better than Arsenal*, is Bayern Munich, and they give away chances as well. Not saying there is no more room for improvement, but imo we have gone through the period of multiple games victorious. We have set unshakable foundations for CL...

Even more importantly, two of those defeats were at the very beginning of the Lucho era, while the Bayern defeat had 0 consequence, other than making our epic stats look a bit less epic. I am totally exasperated with the way draws have been going in the last 3-4 years or so. It's as if they...

Juventus totally lacked intensity or even a coherent defensive shape in that first half. Bayern dominated them with great ease. It was extremely disappointing from Juventus. They improved markedly after the Dybala goal and Bayern deteriorated. But the damage has largely been done to Juve, they...

Cases such as the one above should never be penaldos. The defending player has no time at all to take his arm/hand away from the approaching ball. Moreover, if such incidents are routinely given as penaldos, then you are creating the perverse incentive of players aiming for the arms of defenders...

Chelsea's tactics were augmented with a heavy element of luck plus inept finishing from Alexis and Cesc.

It will be interesting to see how Lucho approaches the home Clasico. Right after that we will have to play the first leg for the CL QF. Let's also see if we can finally get a good draw in a CL KO tie. Though I doubt that.

Arsenal did their very best, but Barca were better. They had chances, but we had even more. Fair result in the end.

I disagree. Both those instances were not clear-cut. It was difficult for him to score, and was also difficult for him to pass. They were extremely marginal chances to either go for goal himself or pass. There was clearly no obvious decision.

Actually Neymar was quite good throughout the game and was the main pivot for the first crucial goal. His two blocked shots were under pressure and a difficult angle. His header should have been more powerful, but hey, Barca players are notoriously shit at headers.

And Jose is a football genius. :mou:

It's not so much their concentration that they did lose. It's tiredness. Arsenal gave their absolute all in that first half, and before it was over they were gasping for air and therefore lost their defensive shape and intensity. Once the 2nd half started I was almost 100% certain that we...

I wish you are right. But I think that a) Arsenal are actually a good team, yes we are better but only of we keep our intensity high for most of the game. They can hurt us on the counter. b) They will be super-motivated against us. We beat them lots of times in the past. Also Alexis, Ozil and...

What?

Iniesta played against Las Palmas.

Arda is suspended since his Atletico days?

This from an Arsenal forum. Have to admit it's a good one:
