    I don't know if I'm happy with this result or not. On the one hand, I'm sick to death of Barca, all the hype and neutrals (like Clive Tyldesley) verbally bumming them. On the other, I don't think I can stand 2 weeks of Arsenal fans gloating until they inevitably get their arses handed to them in Catalonia. I'll just have to wait and see I suppose.

    No its good. They will show their extreme delusions same with Wengar who leads the madness, there spirits will be crushed and hopefully ruin their league form.

    I think my prediction of Arsenal winning the 1st leg, getting massively overconfident, and getting utterly shafted at the Camp Nou is coming true...oh please god let it come true....

    I switched off at 75 minutes, bemoaning Arsenal for not having any balls!

    The Arsenal back 4/5 looks like it has been assembled out of mud and dry grass but I felt that there was no reason why Arsenal shouldn't cause Barca problems at the back and score a few. I couldn't persist watching it.

    I'm glad to find out that they turned it around. I have nothing against Barca, but the division of TV revenue in La Liga is effectively ruining any chance of real competition outside the top 2 and I find it very satisfying when they come up against better quality teams and come unstuck.

    Yeah, absolutely shocking. 100% away record in the Champion's League this season, and lost two games away from home in all competitions. If you think our away form is shocking how's yours? You lost 2-0 away to Braga for Christ's sake!

    Our away form is average really, at least we can scrape draws away from home and not lose to teams like Braga.

    Shocking away form eh? You'd have to be of a very nervous disposition to be shocked by our away form. Because it's not that bad, not that good. Pretty unremarkable all round. As Swarbs said though, our Champions League away form is actually very good; 3 wins from 3 with no goals conceded.

    BTW, what does 'Rep Power' mean? And why is LuisNani17 the only member on this thread with zero? <laugh>

    Apparently, I'm 'on a distinguished road' too. That's what it says if I hover my mouse cursor over the little green bar under where it says I'm a "Senior Member"

    I don't mean to blow my own trumpet here but I actually built the distinguished road on which you all walk. I'm a pretty lazy craftsman though so apologies for the numerous potholes and the fact that the road doesn't actually lead to anywhere.<sorry>

    On the bright side if Arsenal knock Barca out, then we have a much better chance of winning the Champions League.
