That's why I didn't commit in my opening post. One one hand, he scored twice against us. On the other hand, it means they'll almost certainly have a striker who won't miss a hatful of chances before sticking one in. I hope Henry plays. Not because of any sentiment, but because he's looked hopeless recently for Barca. And he couldn't put Arsenal out, could he? :shock: <edit> Or it could be Bojan. Who';s just smashed another one in. </edit>

Btw, I've had the sticky for both Barca games now. Fuck yeaah :cool:

If Zlatan is out we have a real shot at this. If we show up i think we can beat them 2-1 :barscarf: :barscarf:

Bilbao have shown that you can get in down the channels behind their full backs.

We need to take our chances and hope Manuel from the first half is playing....

We can do it, but it will be very, very tough!

If Bilbao had taken their chances they could have scored 3 or 4 today as well.

They beat a CL contender 4-1 easily, and we beat wolves who are still not out of the relegation battle only after 94 minutes of shite football.

We're gonna win 2-1!! :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

check out how big the gap is below Real Madrid. I was chatting to a Barca fan in a sandwich bar-cum-pub on Drayton Pk the other night (didn't even know this place existed) and he said Spain was starting to turn into Scotland. For Celtic and Rangers, read Barca and Real.

Arsenal go 1 - 0 up just before half time with a Nasri shot from the edge of the box. Barca ramp up the pressure in the second half, and score after 73 minutes, through Bojan. Looks like Barca are going through until Bendtner scores from a long ball over the top, after 93 minutes :barscarf:
