    How funny how no-one is mentioning Messi kicking Kos in the stomach off the ball either?

    I think Wenger will get the tactics wrong in the 2nd leg. I have never seen him set out his team to keep things tight, he will send you there to attack and should Barcelona be more "forgiving" they should be able to exploit that and win, much like they did last time.

    I dont laugh at them beating you in the final 2 years ago. They beat us there years before you in the final which still hurts. and the battering we got last term. You are right wenger wont go there to hold barca and will be trying to finish of the tie by getting a away goal. i think we can do it.

    This is it, Barca need to attack us more than we need them, I have a feeling we'll focus more on counter attacking this time round but we'll still attack. Walcott could be given more space to run at Maxwell.

    But at the end of the day, I'd rather we go to the camp, attack and get beat than park the bus and go through.

    I truley hate it when teams do this.

    I know it's strange.

    Many of your fellow Arsenal fans do still laugh at us for this despite us beating Arsenal in the previous round (go figure).

    I think Barcelona will knock you out but if I'm wrong I will be the first on here to admit I was wrong and congratulate you on a job well done.

    No, you won't. Because you can't even admit you were wrong about us beating them last night. And it was not a 'fluke' - get over yourself <doh>

    Where did I say you wouldn't beat them last night? I said you wouldn't win this tie, there's a difference.

    Congratulations. Barca were so far ahead of you at half time, I expected a landslide victory! However, you came back well and got your goals. I think, however, that you will be overwhelmed in the Nou Camp. Barca will run rings round you and score freely.

    Enjoy it while you can!

    I think United have, sis Scholes not score a peach at OT? Although not by attacking the same way Barca do. Sit back, defend then hit on the counter. Unfortunatly we dont have a team that can do that.

    29 April 2008: Manchester United 1 &#8211; 0 Barcelona.

    So yes. If you go on to win the Champions League and Premier League this season, then I will agree that you are as good as United. Sound fair?

    We scored 2 at home though. Was it 0-0 at the Camp?

    And we didn't concede at home, in spite of having Vidic out through injury. And yes, it was 0-0 at the Camp.

    Yep, then they came back to SB and Iniesta scored in the 93rd minute and Chelsea went out! I laughed so much I almost cried.

    Then Barca beat us in the final and I did cry... :emoticon-0106-cryin
