gunnerblog has a nice retort for Xavi's DNA crap.
Note to Xavi: This is what Arsenal DNA looks like… at Gunnerblog
Reading a lot of people online downplaying a classic Arsenal comeback victory. I think it is an amazing victory and not like a 5th round FA cup win by some League 2 side over the champions. Arsenal won. Barca lost. Period.
What happens at the Nou is inconsequential to me. We fought back to beat them, our way. I am bloody proud of that. It is character and resilience that defines a good team for me and Arsenal displayed that more than once this season. Hats off to the Gooners!
Now bag the CC.
Yeah! I'm pumped.
Last season the same game brought a sense of despair in me even before it began. I knew we were going to be drubbed. But we weren't. That made me happy. Even then I knew we would lose it at the Nou.
This time I knew somehow that we would win it at the Grove. Too bad Barca players think that the best team did not win.
They were better for most of the game, but hey, remember the days when Arsenal had 55-65% possession almost every game and yet we couldn't win much? What matters is who wins it. Especially in the CL. Better or worse, we won it and that's what matters. In your loudmouth DNA face, Barca!
