Well done to the Gunners. Really enjoyed that and have to agree about Wilshere, class act! Arshavins finish was something else!
Going to be interesting now with Barca having to come out looking goals.  Arsenal have the perfect players to kill them on the break.

Barcelona changed their tactics at HT sat back,took Villa off & were rubbish in that 2nd half. 2-1 about right i feel.

Had money on Arsenal to win so a good night's work for me.

You're trying too hard to get into these boys good books..

[ONeill]

f**king yeah.

That is all.

The past few games should be a good kick up the back side for Pep, in case he needed it. Credit to Arsenal though, great atmosphere with the crowd really getting behind them and they deserved to win. A bit lucky though with a possible penalty shout at the end? Set up brilliantly for the second leg anyway.

Was it a bit strange to see arshavin going off down the tunnell as the rest of the arsenal lads congratulated each other.

No, he's russian. Therefore he is a bit strange himself

My honest opinion on the game not trying to get into any one's good books whatever that means?

Also i have gone on record.. if Arsenal win the 1st leg there will win the tie not sure is a 2-1 lead enough but we'll see.

Good result. Thought Wilshire was excellent. I was also impressed by Kocilney (Spelling dodgey), which is something I never thought I'd hear myself say!

Fair play to Arsenal they hung in there and when Barca switched off they took full advantage but I'd have to say that over the 90 mins 2-1 to Arsenal was hardly a fair reflection but hey that's why we love football.

Great finish from the Russian, but what was he at with the header/handball in the dying mins in his own box!

I'm like one of those undecided voters at the moment & the return leg is not for three weeks so injuries could play a big part.

I suspect he was told going on that Nasri wasn't tracking Alves so get after him. He probably will be relieved of tracking duty.
