PRE GAME BARCA THREAD

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Well the good thing is we should not be beaten in the air as they play carpet football too
Maybe van Persie might be back as well...

An Eboue dive leading to a Campbell header before half time. Bendtner missing a hatful of changes to bury the game which Barca go on it win via a Almunia keeping error!

A sense of De ja voo! :shock: :wink: :lol:

its a dream game for anyone lucky enough to have tickets for it. I am going to have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to get there but am going to try. Onto the tie, we all know what Barca bring to the table, quick passing, expert ball retention and Lionel Messi. But we bring our own brand of slick passing and lightning counter attacks and with players like Arshavin and Fabregas, they can rip teams apart, the sheer size and strength of Diaby will put the frightners up most of their team and we will be allowed to play football, that should bring Nasri, Rosicky and touch a lot of wood, RvP into the frey. can we not concede? doubt it, can we score? definitely. My main concern is Messi up against someone like Campbell, he will get annialated by Messi or Iniesta so i hope Gallas is back to bring a bit more pace to the centre of defence. But lets just enjoy it, its not every day Barcelona come to town and this Barca team is the best its been for decades. This is the biggest test of our credentials and this could be a tie for the ages.
