Barca must be quaking in their boots with Bender on that form.

Only for that stupid Almunia error last week, they'd be second, 1 behind Chelsea.

Barca moreorless full strength at the min v Bilbao. Just Xavi on the bench.

I would say only 3 of that 11 will be playing against Arsenal, maybe Abidal or Chygrynski to play in central defence with Milito.

They'll start Valdes, Maxwell, Messi, Busquets and there's a good shout for Toure, Abidal or Chygrynskiy. Add to that Puyol and Pique playing today, you'll have probably only have Jeffren not involved.

Dunno, heard on Sky Sports News he was out. He didn't feature at all tonight so must have been at training.

Have to say Eduardo looks a complete donkey. The second coming of Francis Jeffers.

Before the Brummie injury he was potentially world class. We spent a yesr or so waiting for his return thinkig it'll be like a new signing, And he's been absolute S%%%E
