Just enjoy it for the football and seeing the greatest players in the world in our backyard. We can't beat them so just chill out and enjoy the evening next week

I'd prefer not to watch a slaughter, thank you very much.
I predict he will use his A-team to beat us 4-1 at home then pick the B-team to beat us a slightly less humiliating 3-0.
I'm only hoping the season doesn't collapse after that...if it does at least I'll have a cracking away w'end against B'pool(..already done a deal with an away ticket schemer )
Changed my mind and am now going, still expect to get beaten but hasn't stopped me before at least when I calm down. Actually looking forward to Jack putting a good shift in against Iniesta and Xavi
Its going to be a difficult game- I fancy the first leg to be very close tbh, just need to try and keep supplying Walcott and RVP and I reckon there could be something in it for the Arsenal. Trouble is away you'll really need to change the style of play a bit and the central midfielders will all need to get involved in closing down and putting a foot in, which is something they aren't used to. Again though, if you can supply theo and RVP takes up his usual good positions, an away goal certainly isnt beyond the realms of possibility- it'll be a case of the defence staying focussed (I know that would require a fairly major turn around) and the midfield getting stuck in- doable, but obviously a lot of players need to play at their very best. Barca are strong favourites like, but a quick start at home and you just never know
