Thank f**k Barca signed Zlatan aswell. Makes our defence's job easier.

Messi and Xavi are the big players. Not worried about anyone else.

iniesta?

****, couldn't have been any worse... :( Well, let's try to see it in a positive way: if we beat them, we'll win the CL. If not, we'll be able to focus on winning the EPL.

I think many fans are doing us a disservice. We're not an average nobody in Europe. Barcelona will be just as pissed with the draw as us.

Utd might have been over confident but otherwise no one wants to play Arsenal.

which leads all the way back to...taking our chances.

Loved the noise that all the delegates made when Barcelona came out. They know this is no easy tie for them. The players, like some of us, will be literally buzzing at this draw. Cannot wait.

Out of all the teams left in the last 8 draw we got the fcuking hardest route to the final!
Err apart from the easiest group and a virtual bye past a hopeless Porto, only Fabianski's antics made that tie seem competitive.

I feel very pessimistic about this draw.

yep I fail to have one single iota of optimism and honestly I am now seeing this whole CL exercise as a bit of a nuisance and distraction considering we have a better shot in the league.

If only RVP was fit...

Well, he's not and will not be. Let's hope at least that Gallas will be fit because Sol or Silvetre against Lionel Messi... that looks a bit scary, to be quite honest.

mouth watering draw and i think we have a good chance of beating them. on paper, they are a better side, but i think if you look at the individual match ups, i like our odds. they have their weaknesses that i think we can exploit. as long as key players aren't injured.

So our run of games are going to be:

Birmingham Away
Barcelona CL
Wolves home
Barcelona CL
Spuds Away

At least we have Wolves in between. A confidence booster...

Looking at that, it's vital that we get wins against both West Ham and Birmingham, just in case we do drop points in the Wolves or Sp**s games because of this CL tie.

It would be a massive if Liverpool and maybe Blackurn can take something against our title rivals this weekend. We need some sort of cushion with the schedule we have coming up.

Listen to Ricky.

If you're failing to realise the importance of this tie not just for Arsenal and Barcelona but for football as a whole then in all honesty football isn't the sport for you.

Let's hope UEFA assign a referee to fit the occasion.

Re: CL Quarter Final: Arsenal vs Barcelona

At the end of last season people were complaining that we weren't playing bigger sides in the CL. Now we get Barcelona people are still complaining. Barcelona are still weak in defence and we can expose that. Theo needs to be fit if we are going to win this....

Don't know how anyone can not be incredibly excited about this draw.

Anyone know when it gets decided if we play on the 30th or 31st?
