Another Big Match

Given that we were "going for the quadruple" not so long ago I wonder if our match in Barcelona will result in us still being in for "the triple". Surprisingly RvP is in the squad, together with Captain Cesc but we don't have Song so we'll be looking for some midfield cover.
I know I shouldn't but I have a feeling The Arsenal might do well in this one - let's wait and see, eh? Come on Arsenal!

If Barcelona play like they did in the first leg i can't see them not taking taking their chances and putting Arsenal out.However, Arsenal do have the aggregate advantage and it would be foolish to write them off.As kermit decided to concentrate soley on the league i have no Villa games to look forward to.i'm certainly looking forward to this game though.

Aint Piquet out as well as Puyol? Big surprise that RVP is in the squad, hope he is fit

Yeh, my youngest son's (you know the one) girl-friend fancies RvP (she's got an Arsenal shirt with his name on), just like Lutes!

But unlike Lutes she can't fit 'Robin Van Persie,Dutch International and Dishy geezer' across her shoulders.

OK. Feeling just a touch nervous now. My Liverpool-supporting Irish mate at the pub believes The Arsenal will win - no doubts in his mind. Here's hoping for a touch of The-Luck-Of-The-Irish then!

Cesc & RvP both start

RVP should probably have been sent off for that whack in the Barca players face on 90mins, and then what a well taken goal by messi. What do our resident Arsenal fan make of that half I wonder, passed to death by Barca and seemingly sitting back much like they moan at lesser teams that come to the emerites and do the same...

They've got to attack now, Barca have got them right where they want them.

Arsenal are lucky...........What a freak goal.

RvP off!

that was a soft 2nd yellow.

very harsh second yellow, although should have been off at the end of the 1st half anyway

Just turned over before the goal, for christs sake that was a harsh booking with that noise.

Barcelona are all over them again but are extremely wasteful infront of goal, if they would just pull the trigger earlier they could have scored 4

Apparently a second between the whistle and him shooting, pathetic decision

oh yes never a yellow i agree.

3-1 Arsenal just need 1 goal still though.

Bit difficult to get a goal if you cant get the ball, Barcelona harrass the ball so well

Did you see those stats barca 67% possesion and 16 attempts on goal to Arsenal's 0

Bentner should have had a shot. What a chance in that game. Sending off was a disgrace.

Terrible touch by Bendtner, should have done better.

The decision to sent him off was ridiculous, but he should have been off in the first half as AVFC rightly says so it's all swings and roundabouts.
