Arsenal vs Barcelona | Champions League 16/2/11

Now all we need is for Messi to get injured.

[Gould]

Their back up keeper is Pinto, who is apparently their Almunia. I thought he was suspended though - in his last CL game he was reprimanded for taking a whistle onto the pitch and blowing when a player was clean through to make him think he was offside.

My hero!

XAVI INJURED!!!!!!!!!!

XAVI INJURED!!!!!!!!!!

How badly? It's still 2 weeks until we play them.

[Inchpräctice]

Double leg-break.

[Fabrestuta]

Really? I am glad he'll not be playing but I don't like to hear that about any player. Well unless his name is Nani or Gerrard.

[Inchpräctice]

I was yankin yer chain man....!

I was yankin yer chain man....!

Come on!!!!!

just did a goal celebration in my front room.

Then read the above.

[Inchpräctice]

Seriously people what are the chances that he broke both his legs in one tackle....?

[liam_cork]

i read he'l be fit

[Fabrestuta]

Oh lol. I actually thought you meant two breaks on one leg.

[Inchpräctice]

Oh lol. I actually thought you meant two breaks on one leg.

No, that's called a compound fracture.

[Zedie]

XAVI INJURED!!!!!!!!!!

Out for 7-10 days apparently, he should be fit for the return CL match. Ah well.

[Inchpräctice]

Personally I'd rather play them full strength, then if we win the tie there can be no crap excuses from our rivals.



Also, if we don't win then we can reasonably say "It was a full strength Barca at the Nou Camp ffs, what do you expect?!"

[Est83]

I had a dream last night that Xavi was injured and we beat Barcelona 6-5... Theo scored the winner.

Don't know where the defenders went
