Thaumagurist* Depends on what you find entertaining. I don't find Arsenal very entertaining with their many pointless passes going nowhere. Oh, and diving, cheating and whinging to the referee.


Oh. Dear. God.

:shock:


Forget it, you can NEVER have a discussion about football with Spacey cos everything is just shit if its not his team Liverpool

Whore Jackie Biggest disappointment for me was Messi. Completely anonymous second half.
Never tire of watching Iniesta, fantastic player. One highlight in a so-so match.


Messi is very good but so over rated at the same time.

Iniesta and Xavi are the real two to watch in that side. Pique has looked very good the couple of times I've seen him for Barca, and last night was no exception.

Cracking first half from OT. Can't help thinking that Utd will rue missing those chances. Almunia is inspired.

Arsenal will be rather grateful they are still in the tie.

I think it will be very tough for Arsenal to win by 2 clear goals.

A word for the ref last night - best display I've seen for a long long time.

Arsenal's big mistake was not playing Carlos Vela up front.

He's Mexican - would you mark him?

:lol:

Tell you what though, Adebayor is probably one of the most over-paid players in the Premiership....he's 6ft 3in and got a bit of muscle about him but he ponces around like a fairy. He can score some wonderful goals but doesn't do it enough. Totally over-rated and Arsenal should have sold him to Milan whilst they had the chance.

tis true, he is too hit and miss. bit like anelka, can turn it on every now and then but that's not good enough.

I have two tickets for the return leg next Tuesday. It's been 22 years since I was in England - time to break the duck?

Have opted to make the most of it. I have to collect the tickets myself in London tomorrow anyway so selling was not really an option. Might wear my 1.FCN shirt.

Looking forward to both games this week.
Arsenal with van Persie in the side have a real chance IMHO.
Chelsea will have to try to win the game tomorrow night and it will be interesting to see whether there will be more room for Barcelona's intricate passing.
Having seen the last time when Barcelona with Figo and Rivaldo played all the football but Chelsea won 3-1 only to lose the away leg 5-0 I hope to see value for the ticket costing £47 and that's for a seat with not a particularly great view.
Having seen Pele live but not Maradona it could be that watching Messi will make the experience worthwhile.

Cant see Arsenal winning tonight - i reckon a draw maybe but United are just too strong when they need to be.....

Arsenals problem is the defence, if Ronaldo and Rooney play to their best then i can see it being embarrassing for the Gunners!

Just hope its a good game
