That won't be five on the spin it will be three on the spin and six in nine (assuming we lose tonight)Originally Posted by Kano
I think we will draw tonight and draw on Saturday.
1-1 tonight and 2-2 Saturday
That's still one win in nine (an FA cup tie which in hindsight was the most futile win in the history of football)
To be fair your cat posts on another forum and he's a bit of a tit
You can tell when you haven't fed him for a bit because it starts creeping into his posts
"Wenger deserves more respect than he's getting, the whiskers pouch on Tuesday night at Hull was disrespectful"
Hope to see Elneny, Campbell and Welbeck starting. Giroud on the bench. Walcott bench. Monreal also needs to come back into the team.
Pretty much, although I'd try to experiment with putting Sanchez up top and Welbeck on the left, Sanchez is doing that cutting inside shit too much to be effective and would be interested on seeing him being the recipient of chances created.
The guy was given 45 minutes in his Arsenal career to play as a striker, I think we have nothing to lose by giving him a second chance.
As much as I like Welbeck for his industry he is arguably just as wasteful in front of goal as Giroud.
Me too, I mean we all know that's what should happen.
So expect the opposite from Wenger and then you can't be disappointed.
Shut. The fuck. Up. Theo.There have been only eight occasions when a side has overturned a 2-0 deficit in the knockout phase and no team has done so after losing the first leg at home but that is precisely the task the Gunners face here in Catalonia this evening.
Arsenal have already defied history this season as they became only the second team to reach the last 16 after taking three points from their opening four group matches, completing that revival with an impressive 3-0 win against Olympiakos in December.
However, the Greek side offer only a fraction of the threat posed by Barcelona, who lead La Liga and are on an unbeaten record of 37 matches in all competitions — a Spanish record.
They have lost only one of their past 36 Champions League home matches — 3-0 against Bayern Munich at the semi-final stage in May 2013 — but Walcott insists there are enough positives to draw from the first leg to suggest Arsenal are capable of causing a huge upset in the Camp Nou.
“To be honest, looking back on it now, it was there for the taking,” he told Standard Sport. “It really was. We have to be very positive.
“We need to be the same sort of attitude we had in the Olympiakos game — we went for it, were fully committed and caught them on the break. We are going to have to play that same game. We are going to have to be very patient obviously but the most important thing is to keep it 0-0 for as long as possible and who knows?
What Arsenal must do in Barcelona
“Everyone wrote us off at Olympiakos — I know it is a completely different opposition — but if the confidence, spirit and work rate is there, then why not? It was only a few costly mistakes that meant we ended up losing the first leg but we can’t dwell on that.”
Even Enrique is having a laugh before the game
Quality players, like Ozil, Alexis, Walcott, all their attacking players.
I agree on Sanchez up front. Heck, I'd even experiment with Campbell up front. But Wenger is very conservative and predictable. We won't see anything radical tonight.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he started Giroud, Walcott and Flamini instead of Welbeck, Campbell and Elneny.
DT
The hero that we need but don't deserve
You were right about Flamini, what the actual fuck
And iwobi playing as well.
