I hope that every Gooner going out there gets their dream comeback made into a reality.

It's set up to be a very good game.

If the Arsenal that showed up for the last 30mins of the match yesterday shows up, we have a very good chance.

If the Arsenal that played the first 70mins of yesterday's match is the side that shows up... I dare not say...

Biggest game of your lives boys, time to stand up and be counted.

Barca r the better team no doubt.. But the way we played in the first 70 mins was unacceptable..!! Not seeing the ball at all and not winning challenges.. I think they were really nervous.. lets hope they r settled now and try to play their football next tuesday.. Come on u gooners.. we can do it..!!

If a nervous Arsenal can fight back like that what the f**k will a confident one be able to do?

I think we were just bamboozled by Barca because we have never gone up against a team that can do what WE ourselves can do week in week out, it was a total shock to our system that there is another team who can keep the ball like we do, pass like we do and generally do what we do, it was like if you walked down the street and saw your twin for the very first time, albeit fitter...

We saw, when we managed to attack that Barcelona are just as fragile if not MORESO than us, their defence is shambolic bar Puyol and him AND Pique are now out for the return leg.

Fabregas will be a big loss but Nasri will slot in and IMO him in Fabregas's role is just orgasmic, its like Zidane, he is so much more direct and he just has a licence to roam, Barcelona could not handle him on the left, how will they deal with him in his preferred role?

Rosicky on the left = :cloud9: And Walcott will make the right wing his own, he effortlessly went behind their defence yesterday and we will be playing on a bigger pitch, something that will favour us IMO.

We need to go without fear, we need to go thinking we can win.

I believe we can win and i believe we have a good chance to win, why the f**k should we be scared of them? They couldn't even f***ing bury us when they had the chance, they looked frail when we put them under the cosh for the last 20 minutes and we were playing with a makeshift team and a ton of injuries.

f**k them, f**k Messi, lets go and f***ing do them!!!!!!

Agreed gunngunn!

We looked like a team in awe to start last night.

Needed some time to remember who we are and get stuck in a little. Just need to start next week like we finished last night and anything is possible.

I would start this team

Almunia
Sagna Campbell Vermaelen Clichy
Song
Eboue Nasri Denilson Rosicky
Bendtner


Denilson because he looked good when he came on and Diaby was poor last night. Eboue to start because he can defend (kind of), is industrious and direct. Bring on Walcott when their LB starts to tire

Can not f***ing wait. We can do it as long as we dont concede early and sit tight for a bit mainly counter attacking them then who knows.

Totally agree with you gunn gunn..we just need to have the belief i mean it couldve been much worse yesterday but we managed 2 salvage a draw...not even manure could do that in the finals...we meed 2 start positively closing down their players when they have the ball andyesterday was a more than enough reason as to why walcott needs 2 start...his pace is frightening and especially against a makeshift barca back 4 he will cause damage

I have a feeling Campbell will be playing this weekend and will not be available for the game in Spain.

Just a hunch...
