You only had to look at some of the reaction after Wednesday's game, particularly from the managers of certain clubs lower down the table. They were almost sporting raging stonk-ons at the recollection of us getting outplayed for an hour. It was like Christmas & Birthday rolled into one seeing those nasty Arsenal foreigners getting the runaround. Of course, none of them mentioned that we didn't actually lose :roll:

I'm terrified to think what Barca will do to Denilson if Wenger starts him in the centre...

I feel quietly confident at the moment. But then yesterday I felt we would lose 4 nil. So just to confirm, we will either win or lose. Probably lose. Or win. AAAAAAARRRGGGG!!!! :shock:

Its all going to come down to walcott. Lets face it, this environment (nou camp), nothing USUAL can help us...we need UNUSUAL . Walcott is the key imo. Tell him not to cross so much but try to cut in and strike it...

:shock: :?
Almunia
Clichy
Sagna
Vermaelen
Nasri

They're the only players who are "first teamers", so we're not far off Carling Cup territory :(
