Not much to be said Ross. It is very much the calm before the storm. We could get trounced, and I could be seeing this post quoted and edited in a couple of hours. Or, we could play to our potential and actually win this game and tie in the nou camp. I think deep down a lot of Arsenal fans may be very positive about tonight.

Near full strength team named v Barca with a makeshift back four

I fancied Arse to go through if they had a lead going into Camp Nou so i won't change my mind now! i think Barca will win tonight but Arse will win the tie.

Big gamble with RVP.

Good to see Rafa working for Sky,at least he knows what he his talking about when discussing winning in the Nou Camp with a English club.
Hope Barca win.

You can find english radio commentary if your Catalan is a bit rusty.

I just want Arsenal to come through this without injury. To get through the tie is a bonus. Not bullshitting either and maybe not sentiments shared by Arsenal fans. Very calm about this to the point of almost apathy.

It'd be great to score. I can see 4-1, 3-0, or 3-1 Barca.

Really looking forward to this game tonight. Should be taped and showed to kids on how to play soccer.

Milltown Row2 · March 08, 2011, 07:38:22 PM

I've went for a 3-1 win for Barca (sorry O'Neill) if there's any consolation I'm rubbish at picking bets this last while.

3-1 Villa to score first

Wenger taped it last season & showed it to his kids, he'll be hoping they learned something from watching it & not men against boys again tonight.

How fit are Fabregas and Van Persie? We'll know after 10 mins.
