Wembley factor strikes again. You'd have thought they would have learned from us in 2000 when we dropped out of the CL, we went back home. But I forgot, the sp*ds don't ever learn.

I decided not to watch 2nd match and after seeing 2-0 thought I made a good decision. :doh: How do you throw away 3-0 lead at home with an away goal? Great comeback by BMG

SAF tried to sign him a hundred times when he was at Fiorentina. But BatiGOAL stuck by them, even when they got relegated. Along with the Brazilian Ronaldo, the greatest striker of the last 25-30 years.

It's Alli's first red.

If Xhaka were English, he'd have zero reds, would be the best DM in the league and could do whatever he wanted.

For Arsenal.

Batistuta was a big game player, unlike Henry. He was the best striker in Serie A during the 90s when Serie A was the best league in the world, and scored heaps of goals playing for a relegation threatening side like Fiorentina. Apart from one, has scored in every major cup final he's played.

It gets worse if we compare their international goals. 56 in 78 for BatiGOAL and 51 in 123 for Henry. 13 (6 in World Cups) goals for Henry in major international competitions as compared to 25 (10 in World Cups) goals in major international competitions.

The thing that separates them for me is the fight in them. Batistuta grinded it out when it mattered. Henry had a tendency to sulk when things weren't working for him (CL Final 2006) or the World Cup Final the same year.
