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.

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

I ain't gonna sell my ticket for love nor money but how much would some of you pay up too to see this match?
I wouldn't, but I'm sure there will be people willing to pay £500+ for it...

At 1115am I said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! But after a couple of hours I just think there's so much to look forward to. Seeing the World's top players slugging it out against each other is gonna be fantastic. On paper they do have more than us but they will not be negative and close us down so we'll have room to pass and it's not as if they've won every game this season so of course we have a chance.

Let's just enjoy it gentleman :barscarf:
