    We know we're probably going to get knocked out

    EVERY arsenal fan thinks this. However, we have to keep believing. I say we have a 35% chance of going through, and that's good enough for me to not lose faith.

    But, there will be millions of United fans on our board tomorrow if we lose laughing at us. If that is the case, I will direct them to this thread, which I HOPE will be signed by many Arsenal Fans.

    There's no shame in going out to the best team in the world, but remember this:

    - They're missing key players, so are we.

    - Weren't we supposed to lose at the Emirates?

    I hope Arsenal fans are making the most of having my quote as their signature as they may have to remove it in just over a days time.

    Well yeah, but that makes it even.

    Also, technically, we did beat Barca.

    And if we Somehow win, I'm finding all those quotes about you being nice to us if we could beat them.

    Don't worry I'm a man of my word, if you beat them I will congratulate you and admit that I was wrong.

    I think we'll win so where does that leave your theory of no Arsenal fans thinking we won't go through?

    Maybe he meant no sane Arsenal fans? <ok>

    In all seriousness, I think you have a decent chance. Both Utd and Chelsea got draws at the Camp Nou in 2008 and 2009, although both by playing more defensively than Arsenal probably will tonight. But Wenger does seem to have a found a fairly strong defensive formation this season with two holding players (Song and Wilshire) screening the defence. Losing Song is a big blow for you, and I doubt you'll keep a clean sheet, but with Barca's back line so depleted you could grab a score draw or a one goal loss with enough away goals to go through. But imo a lot depends on how effective Denilson or Diaby are in covering for Song.

    i also am going for a 2-2 score. even if its 3-2 we still go through so would be happy. I love the away goal rule, just hope its not 2-1 my stress cannot handle extra time and pens

    Not sure about the result tonight but I think we'll score. The fact that Puyol and Pique are out is good, Adibal is competant enough but it's Biscuits that im looking at, I think he'll make a mistake tonight. Just down to how many Barca score.

    I'm no Arsenal fan, not by a long chalk. But I'm sick of all the hype surrounding Barcelona and I hope the Gooners win tonight. It's not like I really hate Arsenal as I do City and the scousers, I just dislike them. Plus I'd rather play Arsenal than Barca in the CL and a bit of fixture congestion could help us.

    the thing is you wuld have gone out to lots of other teams in the competition, there are 4 or 5 better than you, so its easier if you go out to barca, that way you can go on about you losing to the best team

    Little bit of a silly statement mate.

    The CL looks alot like the league this year in the fact that on the night, anyone could beat anyone.

    Im hoping for an Arsenal win but im not going to hold my breath.

    I just want them to go out and play. If they give 100% and still lose then i wont be upset.

    Same here, would love to see Arsenal win tonight because everyone else would have a chance to win it if Barca go out and like you say the more comps the Gunners are in will help Utd and hopefully Chelsea in the prem.
