Rio needs to understand it wasn't a case it didn't work out Barca bought Naymer and needed to push Messi to the left. They were happy for Sanchez to stay but couldn't guarantee a starting place every game.

It wasn't Alex's fault but buying Neymar makes things not work out though in fairness. There are literally only 3 or 4 players in the world than could bench Alexis and Neymar was one of them.

Spent the majority of the game wondering if Glenn Hoddle spoke less bollocks in a previous life.

TBH Alexis doesn't suit Barca's style as well as Neymar. Alexis has been given the freedon of North London by Wenger - he'd never have gotten that at Barca where the system is still king, unless you're Messi

As Sheringham said - he's a ****!

I agree. I'm just assuming that Rio didn't mean that Alexis was moved on because he wasn't good enough. I think it was always clear he was a great player.

That being said him coming to Arsenal and now killing it as CF is just a fairy tale. I wouldn't have believed it. When he first came I thought he was hell of a player but perhaps a bit one dimensional and could make odd decisions. He has developed at lot under Wenger.

Still the most reasonable person on B.T though.

It was Barca signing Suarez which resulted in Alexis leaving. Alexis was never a bench player at Barca, he came in and benched Pedro. Alexis-Messi-Neymar was the front 3 before MSN.

Made no sense for Alexis to stay at Barca, though he could've. Far too good for any bench.

Agreed. They have a bunch of shocking commentators but I don't mind Hoddle, you can tell he has genuine knowledge of the game for one.

Quite possibly yes, although we're very much entering tallest dwarf territory here.

Anybody who thinks that disabled people have done something wrong in a previous life and that football injuries can be cured by a faith healer, is a shirt short of a team kit.

Owen Hargreaves is easily the worst. He has about 4 clichés in his footballing vocabulary. I knows Canadans are annoying by rule but he takes the piss.

Our best performance since few weeks perfect all round.

Please need to give Alexis new contract quickly as possobile amazing player world class we didn't have a player who can make a difference like since long time ago

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Also great performance from Gabriel got his knock in his knee and his head bleed true favela mentality. If he just learn English he will be even better.

And also fantastic performance from Xhaka.

Can't believe this guy survived the favelas with all of his crying and acting like he needs to be helicoptered to intensive care.

I liked the discipline Alexis showed while of playing under Guardiola. You didn't see him do stupid **** like trying to dribble out of defence with three opponents around him. He still has his donkey moments when playing for Arsenal tbf. Wenger's laissez-faire attitude plays its part of course.

He's off the leash at Arsenal though. Haven't seen too many of those "moments" this season as he's playing further upfield.

"I'm very happy about the result", Özil told Goal.

"We took our chances and didn't ease off maybe with one or two goals too much.

"We are in a good position in the title race now and survived our annual 'Arsenovember' without a defeat in the Premier League and are confident for the next matches.

"But we must keep on winning and the lads must stay fit and healthy to stay at the top."

Who came up with Arsenovember?

Anyone know when poor @Dokaka's funeral is?
