Arsenal v Barcelona - Live thread

[Dunder]

Waiting to see if Fabregas plays or not (he is named as a starter) but that could still change.

I expect Iniesta to be a big miss for Barcelona, he and Xavi make that team tick.

I have 1 unit on Arsenal ML.
Should be a cracking game.

Waiting to see if Fabregas plays or not.

are his eggs still popular these days?

First 20 mins. were almost unreal, Barcelona were fantastic - total football.
Still 0-0 though and Arsenal have a foothold in the game now.

I think it will still be an open game in the second half Archie.
You are not dead yet.

With Gallas and Arshavin off injured and Fabregas clearly not fit, Arsenal are really up against it.

Fabregas will be missing next match, so they need the win today, even if its just a 1 goal difference.

But by the looks of this, it will not be any easier for Arsenal this second half of the game.

 

[Sharky]

And there it is.

And another!

 

[Dunder]

2-2 and Barcelona will be missing both of their first choice centre-backs for the second leg.
Arsenal have used all their substitutes, it will be 10-a-side for the last 5 mins.

I still don't know where the foul was when Arsenal got awarded that last penalty kick. Looked like a harmless tangling of feet to me. Dunder?

[roguejuror]

dundy are you close to the Borough of Barnet?

 

[Dunder]

Barnet is on the northern edge of London, RJ whereas I am about 40km to the south of London.
So I would figure about 80km/50miles.

 

[roguejuror]

oh, I thought you were in the North

Expensive comeback for Arsenal
