Barcelona Arsenal

ARSENAL VS BARCELONA I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED!
i know i normally just do the la liga games but this is an exception.
shit, i missed pique shaking hands with cesc.
oh god, i just saw xavi hug fabregas. i want to cry. come home!
kick off! this is SO WEIRD. since these are two teams that i follow, up til now i have been seeing arsenal and barcelona as completely seperate bodies, with fabregas as like a long lost son. but now these two teams are on the pitch together it seems too oddly familiar.
Barcelona on the attack but are blocked off.
Arsenal are playing out a little more defensively than i expected. maybe i'm imagining this. they said they wouldn't.
free kick taken by nasri not far out. van persie was taken down earlier. it goes straight through to victor valdes.
shit! theo walcott on the break! he passes to van persie but it's badly timed and it goes out for a goal kick.
whoops i forgot to put in time codes.
5' SHIT. van persie taking a shot. COME ON BARCELONA.
6' Alex song is booked! for taking down messi. probably wasn't worth a card actually. oh good lord his beard, it's just, fucking. redic.
8' so far arsenal are looking to be more on the ball. we've gone into defence mode. just waiting for the barcelona factor to kick in now.
11' every time the camera goes on francesc fabregas i can't stop imagining him play for barcelona again. oh god maxwell is rediculously offside.
13' we keep losing posession. it's just all terrible timing and just shit handling and bad execution in general.
13' nasri is down but it's a play on. i think i saw the same it wasn't a foul or anything. he just... fell.
14' ooooooh. messi one on one with the keeper! he goes on the break byt he can't get it in the back of the net! god. so. close. it goes barely just wide.
16' i swear pique is everywhere. i saw him go up... and now he's on the right.... what just happend?
17' pique takes the ball off fabrefas! OMMMGGGG PIQUE AND FABREGAS!
17' Eboue takes the ball off villa but i just saw his leg collide with villa..... he doesn't respond. maybe i am seeing things.
18' grah, villa can't get to the ball and scezney picks it up.
19' pedro. i just thought that it was the first time i heard his name in the commentry tonight. he hasn't really done much... yet...
20' Maxwell losing out to theo walcott. im not sure what i think of maxwell yet.
21' His backpass to Valdes is shit and the keeper struggles to keep it in play. being a barcelona keeper his instinct was to control with his feet, but when the arsenal attack comes through he just picks it up. that was awkward.
22' messi with a shit shot. villa was unmarked mate.
24' oh god. walcott and fabregas on the break! fabregas almost scores but he half heartedly passed to van persie and abidal is just there to clear out. TOO CLOSE.
25' GOOOOOOOLLLLLLL! DAVID VILLA! Lionel Messi assist! god. i love. these two. they are incredible. it was NOT offside! 1 -0
27' Busquets is down. free kick given. he's back up. am not sure if it was legit.
27' Nasri is vooked! but why.... Both Nasri and Fabregas are having a go at the ref.
28' oof! villa gives it to pedro in front of the goal but pedro's flick is blocked off.
28' robin van persie on the break and his shot goes wide!
29' Iniesta was booked earlier.... i think it was that Nasri thing.
30' Alex song foul on messi. it would be a shame if he got sent off. this is an amazing game. i've never seen two sides play such similar, defined styles. tikitaka, barca, definately, arsenal? a little bit.
31' everyone keeps hanging the ball back to pique. i reckon we're a bit better now. the ball is actually getting to the feet of the right people.
34' messi goes down deep in the midfield but nothing is given. arsenal take the ball away, but there's no finish there.
36' free kick flicked off the pedro who is offside. pedro looks TINY on the pitch!
37' shiiiit. pedro and messi go for goal but pedro can't finish it, messi heads it in but he was offside. i'd like to see messi score tonight. i really, really would.
39' pedro is offside again. he's taking on the david villa role today.
41' oh my god dani alves cannot for the life of him take the ball off nasri.
42' this time david villa is offside.
43' another unsucessful attempt from robin van persie.
44' messi nudges eboue and he's down. free kick given. messi looks annoyed, it was a bit of a dive-ish.
HALF TIME
2nd half! i went to cook some noodles in half time. it's 4.46 in the morning, and i am eating noodles = less typing
46' wilshsere takes a shot from distance but valdes is there to save it.
48' iniesta's ball through doesn't get to messi or villa.
51' pedro with some crazy timing skills with messi, who flicks it on skillfully for himself but the ball is cleared.
52' xavi's shot goes wide.... very wide...
55' walcott in front of the goal, crosses to van persie, maxwell intercepts but gives it back to walcott, all that is repeated but van persie takes a shot and it goes over the bar.
56' Pedro hand balls and he's taken down by Koscielny who just picks him up off his feet from the waist, IT"S PLAY ON?
57' arsenal take a corner and they briefly lose and regain posession.
58' FUCK. PIQUE GETS BOOKED FOR A LATE TACKLE AND HE'S ON MATCH BAN FOR THE SECOND LEG. COME ON BARCELONA. if they do good enough in this leg it won't matter so much. free kick from fabregas. pedro and messi make a very, very small wall. Fabregas takes it and it goes straight to victor valdes.
61' van persie in front of the goal but pique is there to slide it out of play.
65' van persie with a shot again but valdes saves it.
65' HA, villa puts the ball out of the backline but it's given as a corner. the whole emirates is booing the linemen. it was RIGHT under his nose.
67' FUUUUUUU. messi's shot hits the side netting. it was offside anyway. it's going to be a frustrating night for me again, where i just sit here and whine about messi being unable to score and constantly blocked.
67' Keita is on for Villa. okay. and Arshavin is on for Alex Song. grah.
69' for a moment there messi and xavi swapped roles, with messi waiting to flick on to xavi in front of a goal. but it isn't messi after all because xavi can't score it.
71' shit. in his attempts to get onto the ball messi kicks someone in the side. can't tell who it was.
74' we need to stop playing high balls. why are we anyway with messi and pedro up front? honestly, our two forwards average out to be 5'7.
76' theo walcott is off for bendtner.
77' Jack Wilshere on the attack and almost takes a shot but Abidal clears out at the last minute
77' FUUUUUUUU VAN PERSIE GOAL. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKK. FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCK. FUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK. FUUUUUCK. oh god. why didn't valdes save it. he touched it. he touched the ball. he didn't save it. barcelona now has 11 minutes to score again. they won't. trust me.
82' FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCC
CCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK ARSHAVIN! FUUUUUUCKK
GOAL. 2 - 1

i'm so angry that i've stopped typing.
