Your talking crazy.....but 3-1:eek:

Any team news yet lads? I'm actually looking forward to this. I think we'll be beaten but I'm expecting a decent game. Here's hoping!

wandatowell

Really wish we weren't playing tonight. Working till 8am, but will be able to catch the game.

Really couldn't care less about the score..........

But I'm going for 3-0 tonight. A nice stroll in the park for the Barcelona Boys to keep their match sharpness up.

Ardennes1944

Ospina, Monreal, Kosc, Gab, Bellerin, Flamini!!!, Elneny, Iwobi, Ozil, Sanchez, Welbzz

We're gonna get destroyed. Ozil must look at this team sheet and really wonder why he signed for us.

Coq has been poor but I would prob still have him over Flamini cause everyone has been poor

I have not posted here much lately. Mainly because our football has been depressing. After the swansea game was the first time I really thought Arsene should go. Even at that I do still think he deserves to go his way. If he stayed till next year and then left when his contact expires I have no problem. This is a man who has NEVER broke a contract.

At the same time if we dont win anything this year and next year then it would be a problem.

I am probably just old enough to remember the times before Arsene, One of my first childhood memories is my dad in 89 and then the years that followed. When we won in his first full year I sang we are the champions in my sleep.

I owe some of my est sports related memories to Arsene Wenger. Does that make him untouchable - no. But that and his loyalty to Arsenal gives him a lot of leeway in my books. I may be leaning towards the arsenal out camp but I hope to be proven wrong. And if I am not then i hope to be that host who generally makes the drunken guest realise its time to go than the phony friend who kicks him out on the street and doesnt give a **** anymore

Wenger clearly focussing on winning the league

Canadel

Welbeck is due a hat-trick in Europe.

Team might not be the strongest, but mentally it is strong. And there is pace to hurt Barca with Welbeck, Sanchez and Iwobi. It's up to Ozil to find the space to put that pace to good use.

Bobby Baccala

Flamini? What the fúck?

Quazzie

Why start Flamini and not Coquelin when Coquelin is gone for the weekend and we might actually need Flamini against Everton. It makes zero sense.

Awesomeness

While not the strongest team I dont think you can say we have given up.

If we had Kos and Ozil would not be starting. To be honest other than coq in for flamini and mert in for gab i find it hard to argue. And mert over gab is a personal choice for me

We will score only to fall short again ��

Mert is unquestionably the better defender and footballer, but when chasing the game in the Nou Camp you simply can't afford someone with such a lack of pace in defence.

extra gravy

Stuck a fiver on Super Dan to score first :pac:

Jaysus, I had forgotten about that.

That really is a baffling decision. Unless coq is carrying a slight injury or something it seems like a mental decision

Eh, what?

We'll get a result tonight but go out valiantly and Wenger will wonder what all the recent fuss was all about.....

A few weeks ago I said something similar as we usually do but I think we are so bad we will get a spanking tonight.

If the team dont really show any fight tonight I will be fairly convinced Wenger has lost the dressing room. Not by Chelsea this year standards but there is def something going on.

Why is coq gone for Saturday? He served his suspension against Hull

i actually think he has lost the plot. Heading for a mental breakdown.

sonic85

This is it anyway. Don't think there's much pressure on them - the season is basically over but if the players have any pride at all they'll put in a performance tonight.

Come on lads

omega man

Wenger must really dislike Campbell.

RobertKK

Good luck tonight, you need a miracle, come on Welbeck...

Koscielny and Gabriel. This should be a laugh.

Odds on still having hope at half time just to waste my whole night?

Royale with Cheese

I turn on rte, hear Ronnie Whelan. Head straight to find a stream.

Gringo180

Expecting a long night.

omega man

We're dominating them ;-)

Welbeck ya lad ya.

BorneTobyWilde

Arsenal had a chance for a chance but they would rather pass that take that chance.

You'd think Arsenal were the home side....weird.

Gringo180

Strange start by Barcelona. Are they just going to soak up pressure?

Great to see Ozil having a go

Gringo180

Commentary about 30 minutes ahead of the play on RTE. Poxy.

omega man

Good effort. Is the RTE sound/picture out of sync?

Mickeroo

Love how the linesman waited to make sure they weren't going to score before giving the offside :pac:

Harry Palmr

Its fine on swearview

Come on lads, just sneak that first goal.

omega man

Impressive start.

Amazing save, Ospina

AnimalRights

Commentary is ahead of the action?

Game over

For Barca, obviously....

Still ONLY need 3 goals.

JustTheOne

Stupid by kos.

How many ?

Canadel

Why do Arsenal insist on playing the ball out from the back?

Casual, lacklustre passing is no what's needed tonight either.

Welbeck is begging for a ball over the top. Not one has been even attempted yet by Arsenal.

There's nothing wrong with playing out from the back, if you just pass the ball to your teammates.

Hamilton doesn't understand how away goals work.

sonic85

Kos is not at the races tonight I'm afraid. Bellerin didn't cover himself in glory either totally lost neymar. A good start ruined
