With Lennon it was a barmy move for him to go to Bolton, they were/are in the mire and it always had poisoned challis written all over it. I think I was keen on him coming to City at one time, but that said more about Hootuns tenure and our subsequent hiring of Adams than that I held him in any great esteam. I wouldn't rule out that he will be successful at another club, wrong place wrong time at Bolton.

Bah!

Arsenal are on for a hiding to nothing tonight! Wonder what Wenger will have to say about that. Not a lot as usual I'm guessing.

The other tie is a bit more interesting. Hopefully better than last nights 2 0-0s.
 
Slight change of topic - did I see on TV that Redmond is also out pretty much until the end of the season. We'll need Jarvis to step up now!!!!
 
Barca V Arsenal just started. This should be arguably the best match up in football. I am guessing yet again, it will be a Barca Walk over.
 
Arsenal have looked very surprisingly good. The thing is, they look good if this was a 1 off game, or the first tie was 0-0

2-0 down, They don't look THAT great, they look confident, but as shown a few times. 1 break, and Barca are out of sight. Where as Arsenal, 1 counter..They will never score. They need a good 30 minutes of pressure and about 15 great chances before they score.
 
"big club ref bias" hits Arsenal! Def pen not given. They don't like it when a blatant pen isn't given to them all of a sudden!

Very strange as he wafts away all the soft and bullshit decisions his side get against sides like us. They are all meaningless. Very happy to see a proper big club, puts them in our shoes. You wont get a pen in Barca, Just like Norwich wont get a pen at Arsenal!

"We'll score when we waaaaant!"

It's so interesting, that Arsenal is our version of total football.

Barca, piss all over Arsenal every season.
