Think I'd have preferred Ibrahimovic up against TV and Sol, just think a forward line of Bojan,Pedro and Messi means so much f'ing movement around our back line and as OK as Sol has been, he's never been that mobile.

Just hope that his old defensive brain is in full gear. A good early defensive smack into one of their forwards will do his nerves a world of good.

Also hope the ref doesn't keep falling for Barca players rolling around looking for free kicks.

I think we'll get a draw but sadly it will be a low scoring one so not enoguh.

Come on lads prove me wrong, give the best defensive display of your lives and nick it in the 92nd minute with a diving Sol header from a set piece.1-2

It'll be 6-0 to us Theo with a 1st half hatrick and Bendtner with a 2nd half hatrick .

United were lacking Ferdinand and Vidic, they played johnny evans and WES BROWN at cb and still came away with a 3-1 victory at the emirates. I would like to think they are weaker without puyol and pique at the back but i just cant believe this, also i read somewhere they played the champions league final without puyol...

If we are to win, we need nasri diaby and walcott to perform. I cant see the barca defence giving bendtner any room to do anything whatsoever, and without arshavin and cesc ( our main men, frankly) i foresee us giving it a fight, but not coming out with the desired result.

I will nevertheless hope and wish for a miracle. Beating the best side in europe without our best defender, midfielder and striker ... boy that would be something.

pressure is only on the spaniards
we've nothing to lose
and guardiola is a crap manager, he's able to get lose by himself
just watch at 1st leg...only a fool switched an impressive ibra for a still-gunner TH14...
well, the 2 teams are different for quality but
you'll never know if footy facts...

C'monnnnn The Arsenal!!!

Iniesta is definitely out for Tuesday :barscarf:

Yaya Toure is also very doubtful as well.


Blimey, even I'm feeling a little optimistic!! I have a feeling Theo could be our hero a la Henry against Madrid........... 8)
