How so? The first 35min of the match was a training session for Barcelona. more than 8 Arsenal players were inside their own penalty area.
Thats because we didn't have the ball, they took us there, they passed the fuck out of us, and it did look like we were the defending team, but thats only because they didn't let us have the ball. Whenever we did have the ball we committed too many players in attack though.

    People can't feel joy watching a team they hate. I can admit that Inter play amazing defense and Barca (or Ancelotti's Milan) play amazing attack, but I don't feel any joy at all watching them.

    Thats true in most cases and is perfectly understandable.

    I'm an exception here though, as i thoroughly enjoy teams i hate like Man United, Tottenham and Real Madrid :oops:

    Well, you can catch me saying "wow" or "God damn, how did the sob do this?" or any other words which are my way to show my admiration when players from the teams I dislike do something great, but I always hate it that players from the team I dislike, or the team as a unit, do those things :D

    I couldn't help to admire how Inter played defense against Barca, but I hated it that it has to be Inter who do that.

    Barca play boring football? :lol:
    What is boring football?

    Barca don't excite me.

    I enjoy watching Inter.

    Not necessarily because I like Inter's style of play, but because I know team will really have to work to score against them.

    Every single team in this world is trying to copy Barcelona's style of play. That is a fact and says it all for me. I am sure if Juve plays similar football you wouldn't be saying the same. Some of you are just trying to be stubborn for the sake of holding their argument.
    You seems a bit too sure about me :D

    And if you want to talk about fans and statistics then you and Jack for example are the minority because majority, big majority do think that Barcelona style of play is interesting and very watchable. No commentator, no coaches, players rivals and UEFA community would deny this.
    I didn't want to talk about the fans. You talked about the fans and I said that defensive Italian teams have also many fans worldwide and it means that not everyone has to enjoy watching Barca.

    I think you will enjoy it if Juve plays Barca's football, but under the condition that we win our matches and Del Piero plays like Messi :D
    If Juve plays Arsenal's attacking football and we win squat, you won't really enjoy it that much.

    No, seriously, as fans I think we will enjoy every football Juve plays if it's a winning football at the top European and domestic level.

    And then, as fans, we will say how we play the best football in both cases if Juve plays like Barca or if Juve plays like Inter :)

    I disagree. I enjoy watching my team winning their games and I enjoy watching Del Piero scoring goals but it doesn't mean I liked Juve style of game under Capello when we used to win our games easily and it doesn't mean I liked Juve style of game under Ranieri when Alex scored the most goals in the league.

    None of those were "winning football" at Euro level though :D

    I enjoy watching open attacking football, as opposed to defence closed football, even if I dislike them (there's only room for so much hate or it takes away the pleasure of watching them fail).

    By the way of the matter Fred, have you ever seen the film Fever Pitch?

    Its all a matter of taste in the end of course, but the majority of football fans like expansive, open, free flowing attacking football like the one Barca plays. That much should be obvious to anyone.

    Yes i have, long time ago though. Why?
