I'll be first to post in the matchday thread, usually Massa's honour...

I'll moon ya
Sagna -- Campbell -- Vermaelen -- Clichy
Fabregas -- Song -- Diaby
Walcott -- Bendtner -- Arshavin


But I'd be fine with Nasri or Rosicky starting.

Xavi came on for Barca, returned from injury, but Iniesta went off with a thigh problem.

God damn I hope Nas is in for Walcott but apart from that looks good.
If It Feels Good, Do It.

Yeah, when I said Nasri or Rosicky, I meant Rosicky instead of Diaby and Nasri instead of Walcott, they both played really well in those positions today. Walcott might be better coming off the bench when Maxwell/Abidal are tiring, plus Puyol and Pique so he can cut in with his runs.

I hope the team can put yesterday completely behind them and concenctrate on this 100%. A poor performance and a sickening draw is not the best of ways to go into such a game....

I really fancy us to beat Barcelona over the two legs.
I'm delighted we're at home first too.
If the God of football was to offer me a 0-0 result now i'd be happy to take it.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but fabregas might miss the game. He took a knock yesterday.

On Cesc Fabregas' injury...
"I don't know medically. We will have to assess that tomorrow. He got tackled at the knee. We tried to take him of at first but after he said he was alright."

On if he will miss the Barcelona game...
"I don't know."
Wenger please go away

I'm not expecting Fabregas to play.
I think Nasri can do an excellent job in his role though.

I'm going to be really pissed if he doesn't play. We're already missing our striker, how many more f***ing disadvantages do we need. Why can we never have a fully fit team, especially against Barcelona!!

And it looks like Xavi will play for them

We need Rosicky, Nasri, Fabrega and Arshavin to show their class against some of the most talented midfielders of the world.. It should be interesting.. Can't wait..

I think Arsene's gonna throw caution to the wind for this one.
If you don't beat Barca at your own turf, you can pretty much get ready for hell at Camp Nou.
I'll bet Arsene will throw in Walcott from go and tell him to run the defenders ragged if he need to.
That'll create small pockets of spaces near the edge of the box for Arshavin or Cesc(if he plays) to run in and have a go.
In Arsene We Trust!!

I hope to god Walcott does NOT start. We need to win the technical battle and he will only be a hindrance for that. We have Arshavin to run at their defence and cause havok. Bring on Theo against tired legs (preferably with a lead) and he'll run riot.

Fabregas a doubt :crybaby:

f**k Birmingham, this is what it's all about, the big stage. I think we'll get smashed, but that wont stop me from supporting THE ARSENAL 'till the 90.

I hope:

Sagna Gallas Vermaelen Clichy
Fabregas Song Rosicky/Diaby
