a écrit le 19 mai 2006 à 4h03 Un bon post d'un gunner. Pris sur forum de Arsenal sur BBC
1) Henry did not 'choke' last night. He grabbed a brilliant assist, made a chance out of nothing that was brilliantly saved by Valdes, and could hardly lift is leg for the second chance he had because he was plain knackered. He is a good player - not Superman. There was no more pressure on him last night to perform on the big stage than there was at the Bernebeu against Real Madrid. You could see that from the way he began the game.
2) The guy played up front. Alone, in a team that I will happily admit is not as good as Barcelona, and were down to 10 men from the 18th minute. Put Eto'o in the same position, and he too would struggle. To happen against any team is bad enough - but against the side that is best in the world at keeping the ball, makes it like running a marathon with Johnny Vegas strapped onto each ankle.
3) Henry accepted defeat and congratulated Barcelona. What he was annoyed about is nothing to do with Barcelona's merit as Champions. It's to do with the fact that Puyol and Marquez had a clear plan to deal with Henry, run their studs down the back of his ankles and the referee failed to notice it, he would have mentioned this too had Arsenal won. But the moment Henry makes a fair challenge, he is carded. When he MUSCLES them off the ball, they go down like a pair of cheap whores. BTW - yes Eboue should have been booked too, and we wouldn't have had a goal.
4) I will give you Wenger, he is a notorious moaner, and there's no way he'd have acknowledge an offside if Henry was borderline and scored instead of Eto'o. He also said that Barca didn't look dangerous - at that. Sometimes - and I'm sure Chelsea fans wil acknowledge this too, you just have curl up into a ball of embarassment when your manager talks after a defeat. For this reason, Rijkaard is not only an excellent manager, he's also top bloke.
5) The Spanish media, particularly El Pais have been very graceful and complimentary towards Arsenal for their performance. They recognise that Barca were made to work very hard for their victory by a good team against the odds - some of you should acknowledge that too. Presuming you support another team in the EPL, just where the frrrrrruck did you get too in this seasons competition you bunch of hairy ball sucking cretins. Barca playing against the ten men of Spurs would have required the two score boards being joined together. Pillocks.
