The best of the Betfair football forum
Are Arsenal justified in blaming the referee for their Champions League exit? Is Sandro the next Roy Keane? Can Manchester City still win the Premier League? Here's what the posters on the Betfair football forum are saying...
"(Arsenal's lack of shots) is a record according to reports. An Opta spokesman said: "There have been 981 Champions League games since 2003-04 and Arsenal are the first of 1,962 sides not to manage a shot of any form in a match since then." At last Arsenal have something to show for their efforts!" - subversion
"It would have been an absolutely ridiculous result if Nicklas Bendtner had buried that chance. Barcelona must have conservatively had ten clear cut chances. I'm not sure that Robin van Persie going off made a big difference. Arsenal never got out of their half when it was 11 v 11." - Mafeking
"Jack Wilshere is already a very good player with the potential to become world class...Anyone who thinks Wilshere would currently get in Barcelona's first team is way off the mark. Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Sergio Busquets make up by far and away the best midfield in the world. Wilshere is currently nowhere near as good as any of them. Oh and whilst on the subject of Xavi - has there ever been a better passer of the ball? He dictates play like no one else I've ever seen." - asparagus
"I honestly thought Redknapp had made a mistake when he bought Sandro. In an Internacional team that contained Andres D'Alessandro, Alecsandro and Sandro himself, I thought Harry had mixed him up with one of the other two. What a shrewd buy now. He put in an incredible performance last night that was Roy Keane-esque in his prime. Harry is no fool." - Second Hand Balls
"I don't understand why Chelsea are only [10.0] while Man City can be backed at [46.0] to win the Premier League. Man City are two points better off than Chelsea (admittedly Chelsea have game in hand). But surely Man City are good value at [46.0] as Man United's geriatrics and Arsenal's injuries are likely to cause them both to collapse as the title race reaches it squeakability phase." - mutley77
"I hope Neil Warnock takes the principled stance that he did during the Carlos Tevez affair, and insists on a points deduction for QPR! If QPR do get away with a paltry £5 million fine, I expect the Championship teams which finish third and seventh to pursue QPR through the courts to the tune of £35 million. It's only fair!" - Green Iron
