Walcott and Wilshere have been stellar so far

Wilshere has been significantly better than Fabregas so far, though that's not saying much.
He always does it, he gets away with it in the League

Tom Daly would've been proud of that dive by Eboue

The Arsenal fans are embarrassing themselves. They are being completely and utterly outclassed, yet are ironically cheering on the odd occasion Barca misplace a pass, or when the flag went up for Messi's header just then.

How far behind is England's national side behind Barca (and Arsenal)? Reason we pick players that go "box to box son" instead of being able to pass it. Look how fast the ball moves and look at the players off the ball. Compare that to England in the wold cup when gerrard ran around alot and then smack the ball 30 yard balls to "spread the play". How many 30 yard balls are barca playing? None. Watch and learn English football fans and coaches. Thank god we have Gus.
True, which is why im not overally surprised that he is still on the pitch. For the sake of Arsenal they better hope he gets away with it, going down to 10 with see Barca slaughter them

Do you think there's an old bloke at the Nou Camp who shouts "Get it FORWARD Barça" every time they knock it around the back line for a few passes?

Indeed, they're feeling hard done by over a number of perceived offsides, when in fact replays have shown Barcelona were onside nearly every time. And they've have had a goal disallowed for offside that wasn't.

And what dyou think they would do with a coach that said things like "box to box" or "good engine" or "he's too small"

Eboue is just SHIT, isn't he? A laughable excuse for a player.
I bet their fans boo the linesman off. Wrongly.

Seems the ref is ignoring there whinging as well.

the big positive for Arsenal at the moment is that Wiltshire has looked brilliant,so at ease on the ball and is a wonderful prospect! apart from that its only 1-0 i suppose

I really dont think Arsenal have played that bad, am I the only one? A sloppy 10 minutes aside they have looked composed and created a few chances that they should have done better with.
And saying that the fans are embaressing themselves is an utter joke. Have you been to Withdean? Jears for absolutely eveything, that's football fans the world over.
It's a good game in any case. The other comments comparing this game to typical English football is true though. They style which England play, which is clearly limited to the players we have available, should have died with the dinosaurs.
