Fantastic news.

If Cesc makes it as well then it's only really Walcott we are missing from the first leg, which gives us a really great chance.

Still I'd almost rather have Theo in there, his pace could have been the difference on the counter.

Still, all good in the hood! 8)

Song will be a miss, as he is our only real physical defensive midfielder, Walcott on the wide pitch will be a miss. Great news about RVP

:lol:

I doubt he was really injured to begin with, seems it was Wenger's way of giving him a rest and keeping him fresh and fit for tomorrow, no doubt he took a knock in the final but he played on, Wenger would have pulled him off straight away if he was really hurt given his track record.

Great news all the same.

Diaby has one genuinely world class game a season, lets hope this occurs against Barca if he plays! (I highly highly doubt this)

I don't expect to win this, but if we put on a performance and are just beaten by a better team then I wont be too upset. I just want us to put the effort in and have a go.

I'll go 3-2 to them and us to go through!!

I know what you mean, he's one of those champs leaue refs that give soft free kicks for anything which is why Denilshit should keep the subs bench nice and warm for this game.
Though the thought of Diaby slowing down every speedy counter attack we have scares the crap out of me. :( :evil:

Denilson and Diaby terrify me in equal measures.

Not that it will happen, but I would even pair Gibbs with Wilshere inn preference to Denilson or Diaby. Gibbs has played in that position at reserve level only, so too big a leap of faith for Wenger to try it in the Nou Camp!
