I have a bad feeling Wenger will play Almunia ahead of Sneezy due to Almunia keeping a clean sheet vs Orient. :roll:

Wenger might pick him for he's experience of picking the ball out of the net in the Camp Nou :cry:

If we can get the first goal who knows, I believe, wouldn't be paying hard earned cash to go out there if I didn't,

Im going, hopefully will grab a ticket from the fanzone..

Game wise, we can deffo do it, a shame Walcott is out as his pace scares them, Barry Bender will put himself about in RVP's absence. I am confident in us scoring, hopefully we can defend like "beavers" and nick it

For the sake of our league campaign I won't be too upset if we bow out of the CL on Tuesday.

Progression will completely fuck up our season. How many free midweeks have we had in the past two months?

it's starting to take it's toll.

You're right in theory but 2 wins would be huge for the team. I think if we lose against Barca, we won't beat United either. Can you see the team bouncing back from losing a cup final, dropping points and going out of 1 or more cups in just one week.

Our teams of the past managed it but not so sure about this one. :?

In the actual hunt for a trophy games against Sunderland and then against United in the cup, are actually more important.

far too tall an order this, we're out. can't see it any other way. doubt we'll even score, play and we get slapped, defend and we eventually get slapped anyway. 3-0 home win or something. i just hope it isn't too embarrasing. same as saturday really, however it ends, it'll be a typical all too familiar defeat at old trafford.

our confidence will be shattered from here, too many ifs and buts about whether they can pick themselves up and grab the remaining 10 games but if the past few years are anything to go by...

fuck me this'll be his last damned season in charge if this awful week is followed up by no league success. and i don't mean finishing second either. :rubchin:
