No, as much as Highwayman will protest and say Arsenal are going to the final its just a pipe dream
Barca will beat them over both legs
I hope so.... go Gunners go.....:clapping::clapping::wiggle::wiggle:
And I also hope they knock man u off the top of the league too :D:D
They do but perhaps very little,For my teams sake and for the champions leaugue i hope arsenal beat them.
Arsenal might as well not turn up! They will be beat in both legs.....easily!
Personally I think this Barcelona team is the best club team I have ever seen in my lifetime, and I include the great AC Milan team of the 80s in that(yep, 35 and counting).
As a United fan and on a greedy note I would like to see someone beat Barca just to get them out of the way but I cant see Arsenal doing it. They will try to take Barca on in a football match and I fear just like last year they will come out second best.
Thats no disgrace to Arsenal, look at Real losing 5-0 to them and they are second favourites for the Champions league.
If you look at it, the only 2 teams to beat Barca in the past 3 years were United and Inter, and both times they adopted a defensive approach to the game, so IMO that is the only way someone will stop them as well this year.
Anyway, just my tuppence worth.
no disrespect to arsenal who are a fine team but they only have a chance if barca dont turn up...i think this barca team is the best football team the world has ever seen...arsenal would have a chance against almost any other team.
(apart from accrington stanley)
That last game at New Highbury, whatever it is called, those first 60 minutes is probably the best football I have ever seen by any team. Arsenal don't have the players to do anything else but to try and go out and play and they are not even close to being as good on the ball as Barca.
I agree with you takemedrunk, they are probably the best club team I have seen, better than Milan and perhaps even better than us (LFC) in the 80's or the Ajax team in the 70's. They are frighteningly good on the ball and they score goals for fun it seems.
I just hope this game is anywhere near as good as that last game at new highbury and we are really in for a treat tomorrow.
Oh and gotta love how you just missed out on LFC beating them 4 years ago.... Also with a defensive approach though.
No. I have to admit Arsenal will get a hiding. If Newcastle can come back from 4-0 down what can barcelona do 10 men or not? Arsenal are going to need 5 clear golas to win :eek: The only way Arsenal have a chance if they defend well which they won't. And if Barca aren't as good as normal. The first game might be tight. Barca will run away with it in the second leg.
Barcelona will win and will be a very good match. Cant be missed.
I agree Benny. One look at the remainig fixtures Arsenal and United have and you have to say that Arsenals are a lot more appealing. You could easily see where United will drop points on those difficult away games.
The league is not as cut and dry as the 4/7 price for United suggests in my opinion.
Arsenal can beat the magnificent Barcelona this is a big step from playing mediocre moderate teams in in the Spanish league & Barcelona will lose here The Gunners to win 2-1 Van Persie will score the first goal I'm gonna have 50euro on Arsenal @ 3/1..
Looking forward to this match. Arsenal can play perfect football but i dont think they will have enough to beat Barca. Especially at the nou camp in a couple of weeks.
Really looking forward to this match. Cant see anything other than a Barca win over the two legs, such an incredible footballing team. Some of the statistics they have broken is just mind boggling!!! Watching them pass the ball around really is pornographic material:notworthy:
This interview with Xavi is a MUST read lads:notworthy: MES QUE UN CLUB :headbang::love8:

My loyalties are with Arsenal's London rivals, so I'll be shouting for Barca.
Haivng said that Arsenal is well capable of beating Barca on a good day. Fabregas and Walcott are world class.
Arsenal are rolling in the first 10 minutes:dance::dance:
Half Time Arsenal 0v 1Barcelona
Messi gives great pass to Villa he scores 26th minute- Its not looking good for Arsenal they are totally outplayed having had just one serious chance Messi misses a sitter gets a disallowed goal its lookin ominous for a 2nd goal for Barca
Arsenal badly need to pick it up hope they do...
Watch it lads look what happened to Keys and Gray:)
Why, we arent saying that she is football ignorant (even if she does supportt Arsenal)
We are traeting her the same way we would treat any Arsenal supporter
So if anything we are the opposite of Grey and Keys
Now wheres the sky sports manager, he should give me and Benny their old jobs
Now I'm upset.....:(:banghead:
Boys, it's easy to pull my leg a little after Barca scores...:poke: :D
Nonetheless, I think Arsenal were not disastrous in the first half.
