Nervous as hell today, I'm always pessimistic about our defence and Arsenal have the pace and the aerial power to hurt us big time

But in MSN I trust..

just think how would you feel if you were arsenal fan today, and barca´s strongest 11 playing :)

In Lucho we trust!
La Liga has been such a disappointment this year, it is great to be finally playing a match that should be competitive.

From a footballing perspective we are capable of ripping them a new one but every time they win a set piece or have Ozil on the ball during a counter attack my heart will be in my mouth.

I think it's easier on them as they have nothing to lose really.

i dont buy that kind of stories, cmone, arsenal every year is fighting for the title in england, their squad is valued 431 m. on transfermarkt, is not that they are dinamo kyiev, or sparta prag, so that is a non sense, every year they flop in CL, it is not because they are some kind of underdogs or a team with bad players, it is because they are managed by arsen wenger (monaco last year)



just because barcelona is good managed club and way more succesful in europe than arsenal, they can lose and they will not be disapointed, it does not go like this, every arsenal fan expecting step up in CL, they did not do nothing after 2006


edit: and yes, thank you belletti.

It's definitely easier on them because everyone is making them out to be massive underdogs. As if Arsenal are not one of the very richest clubs in Europe, as if they are not always in the CL, as if they are not favorites to win the BPL etc etc etc.

Also, like I said in the past, Arsenal have played only 6 games in the last month, while we have played 10. Oh, they are also at home.

Fighting for EPL every year? Wouldn't say so.
Fighting for 4th place trophy maybe.

yes, and its not that they have bad squad compared to city, united, chelsea, so they are okay with 4th place because clubs above have much better players. they can just blame wenger for that.



edit: look at the table now, united is down, chelsea is down, city is also down and suddendly there is fcking leicester above them, if they dont take title this season it will be a massive joke.

I feel like we might lose to them in their home turf... Just because everyone expects us to trash them and i believe in jinxing.

It's funny reading Arsenal fans bashing Barca for "unlimited resources" when they have private owners and most expensive tickets in the world. :lol:

Oh, and still less homegrown players than Barca

Barca have earned their money by being successful and awesome on the pitch. They have always been one of the richest clubs (last 15 years for sure) in Europe but never really made it count. In any case, our financial advantage over them is there, but they are very far from being an Atletico. We have something like 20-25% more revenue than they do.
