Good analysis. A couple points that need to be made: 1) Robinho's short free kick at the end that led to the fourth goal was shocking. He's terrible. 2) to expand on the David Villa point, positioning him up front was enormously important in generating additional space for Messi, who was marked out of the first leg of…

For the second goal he was offside.

I don't think it's debatable that it was making light of racism — I mean, the context of throwing a banana at a football match clearly references only one thing. It's either making light of racism, or actually racist. Admit it you Gooner scum admit it!

I guess that all depends on your point of view.

I didn't "just discover" either. Nor did I say throwing the banana was in itself racist, I said it made light of racism. Hey, we all think this guy looks like a chimp, let's do the thing racists always do to black players to insinuate that they're apes! Hilarious!

I am aware of the Bale chimp joke. Are you aware of the decade-old tradition of throwing bananas at [only] black footballers?

Is Fire Island the only gay thing you can think of? Why would a team from North London summer in Fire Island? smh

He's quite handsome, actually — Tottenham probably fields the best looking side in the Premiership. And throwing a banana at bale was in quite poor taste. Racism is no laughing matter, shame on the Gooners.

Jack Wilshire is a shitbag.

Keep Calm and AVB, bro.

I didn't get to see the game but from what I have read and been told Spurs were the better side for most of the game, and the two shocking errors shown above were the difference.

why would an American 1) say "mate" and 2) purport to weigh in on the proper name to call an English football team?

Has Deadspin gone and hired a cunting Gooner to cover football? This disgusting fucking website...

second round's better than the first round bub
