Song is going to be vital in this game, part of the reason United lost to them in the final last year was Darren Fletcher being missing, he would have sat back and hurried the Barca midfielders. Hopefully Song and Diaby can do that (a lot to ask perhap!)
Overall we to have players that they're gonna be shit scared of.
What a game anyway, whatever the result its going to be one of those games I'll probably always remember

- We go out - there is no shame in being beaten by best team in world and we get clear run in domestic league
- we go through - who is there to stop us? Double is ours!
COME ON YOU GUUNNNERRRSSSS!!!
This is not time for cowardice and negativity...
Inter and manyoo
But i agree, my first reaction was "fuck sake" but now im feeling good about it. I just hope we are still in the tie by the time we go to the nou camp. Not conceding early at the grove will be key i think
Yes they will be favourites but we have been favourites many a time and lost, it's all about what happens in the 180 minutes first leg is vital and not to concede too many away goals (none preferably) and take our chances when they present themselves!

Very true
in fact, i'm sure no other team wanted to draw Arsenal

If the Totts don’t beat Fulham in their cup replay then our game at the Shithole is gonna be 3 days after the away leg at Barca. Gotta be a bit worried about Wenger resting players in the game away at Brum just before the 1st leg too.
And if we made it through then the 1st leg of the semi would be away (probably to Inter) 3 days before the City game , with the 2nd leg just after.
Can see this fucking up the league for us. Fuck it though, bring it on!!!
