We are doomed we are going to get killed.

Any good previa show to kill time ?

Time to get on the anti-jinx train.

It'll be too easy for Giroud to beat our CB's. One is a midget while the other one is overrated, the only reason he is famous is because of his grilfriend's hips.

Walcott will destroy that diving rat Alba, Alexis destroys that washed up Alves. Don't get me started with Oezil against that peek-a-boo diving SOB Busquets.

Only reason MSN is relevant is because they play in a Mickey Mouse league, unlike the Gunners who play in the best league in the world.

You should quit Arsenal-mania. You sound like them. That forum will do irreparable damage to your brain.

I'm afraid I've already read too much in their forum. Won't be posting there for a while.

Side-note, I hope none from here goes there, after taking shots at pretty much everything related to the club itself, they've begun insulting our forum.

I honestly think we can win comfortably tonight. The only reason there is any anxiety is because the English media and Prem fanboys love to hype up Prem teams, particularly Arsenal, who mind you went out to AS Monaco last year, while we won the treble. Before the game against Man City last season, there was lots of talk about how we would lose to City etc. Having said that tho, i'm still anxious as hell.

I saw your attempts at being respectful and objective with that sad bunch.

I just go to rival forums to read and have a good laugh, never ever posted anything, they don't deserve it.

What did you expect? I dont think British are known to be too friendly towards other team fan bases.. I'm not surprised at all.

What's the name of the forum ??

I personally enjoy it. Whenever I have time I try to go there and read their stuff. Some try to stay coolheaded, but the best are those who lose their shit. Overrating their players, underestimating ours, uefalona, the diving. Some great stuff in there. I hope it's a great game and Barcelona wins, but seeing opposing fans go through an array of emotions before the game is one thing I enjoy in the CL.

Guessing it's on 5 live radio will have to listen at work .

 

[Sea_of_Frost]

Anyway, coming back to the match itself, no need to talk about another forum.

I'm a tad bit scared about the fitness of our players. They've been playing non-stop since January. Physically, most of them are okay, because of rest here and there, but as Masche said in a interview recently, it's the mental tiredness that can get to us. Being a few half-steps behind in a match can easily lead to a loss.

However, imo, if Busi is in-form, we'll have a great chance to win, even if Iniesta and Raki struggle.

 

[xXKonan]

I think we will be fine for the most part.

Arsenal will park the bus obviously like they did vs Bayern in the first leg during the group stages and hope for a counter attack goal.

 

[Sea_of_Frost]

Important thing to note is that in the match against Bayern at the Allianz, they didn't have Walcott's pace on the break. So, that changed their attack considerably. They will be much similar to the first Bayern game tonight.

I hope that they park the bus, we've struggled more against pressing teams, but I'm sure Wenger would've noted that.

 

[jairzinho]

They will try to pressure us early on, before we settle. That's the tactic most teams have been using until we find our passing rhythm. Once we see out this initial stage, we'll be good.
