arsenal have revolutionized the bloody game numberic, your team has supersized it.

know the difference.

[Numeric]

sorry dude but how have they revolutionised the game?

yes arsenal do have a good footballing ethic but they're not the first team to try to pass the ball into the back of the net, and they're not the best at it either

and all of uniteds success over the past twenty years stems from a team built on youth

[blistanbul]

yes in the beginning the mc united had plenty of building after circa rooney they became money whores.

arsenal and their fast-paced attacking style have inspired teams like modern day barcelona.

mc united fans will cry in sorrow when their rich jewish masters desert town and leave the fans like numberic switching to city.

you haven't actually beaten barca though have you, this is a two leg format and in reality arsenal have won the first half

barca's recent record in the away leg of champions league ties is fairly poor, they usually do better at home, it was only last season that arsenal pulled two goals back against barca in the first leg only to be sorely beaten in the second, messi will be much more effective at the nou camp, if you honestly believe that arsenal have the beating of barca i fear that you're in for a severe shock

arsenal are in much better shape than last season, but the hard work is still ahead

and why do you say that united would have been beaten? united are a stronger team than arsenal as our recent record against them indicates and the league table, i might add

"The debate in Spain is whether you can still trust this team, or if there is actually something wrong with them, like a lack of confidence or physically lax, which is often the case around February. I am of the opinion that you have got to have faith.

However, I think Arsenal are now favourites to progress. If they play counter-attacking football they can take advantage of the absence of Gerard Pique and Carlos Puyol."

So says Spanish journalist Guillem Balague, I think he knows a bit more about Barcelona than you do. And by a bit I mean a lot!

If you take away tough games that United have yet to play, where Arsenal dropped 8 points, then Arsenal have actually done better than United, but for those games we'd be 4 points clear.

If you honestly believe that United have the beating of Arsenal (or Barca) I fear that you're in for a severe shock

And of course Arsenal have the likes of van Persie back from injury now, who's scored 12 goals in his last 10 games and has the best strike rate in the Prem.

Only 4 players started at the Nou camp last season that are likely to start this season (Clichy, Sagna, Walcott and Nasri), and the subs that came on were Eboue and Eduardo, so a far weaker team than the one they're likely to face this time...

Old team, and subs

Bendtner
Nasri, Rosicky, Denilson, Diaby, Walcott
Clichy, Silvestre, Vermaelen, Sagna
Almunia

Subs: Eboue and Eduardo (the face we only used 2 subs shows how many injuries we had)

Probable team for this season

Van Persie
Nasri, Fabregas, Wilshere, Song, Walcott
Clichy, Koscielny, Djourou, Sagna
Szczesny

Probably subs: Arshavin, Chamakh, possibly Bendtner, Eboue et al.

So of the 4 players who are likely to start both games at the Nou Camp, 2 are playing much better this season, ie Nasri and Walcott, and then we should have the likes of Fabregas, van Persie, Wilshere, Koscielny and Szczesny to some in. Plus (hopefully at least) the likes of Silvestre, Almunia, Denilson and Rosicky will be nowhere near the first team as they're nowhere near good enough, the first 2 certainly.

A big part of the problem was a severe lack of confidence, but we've beaten Chelsea and now them, so that shouldn't be a problem.

So basically, a far inferior Arsenal team took the lead their last season, and the 2nd half, especially the last 15 minutes show we've learned how to play against a team that's far more technical than Man U, Chelsea and co, who we're used to playing, whereas they're used to playing against the 'continental' football we play, as all the team in the La Liga play that way.

i like your optimism will but arsenal are not the favourites to progress, no matter how you choose to look at it

and you shouldn't put too much faith in the spanish football press, they are renowned for making stories out of nothing and are only printing mindless speculation to fill the pages of their rags, what are they basing their worries about barca on? the fact that they have only lost one league game all season? that they blew real madrid clean out of water in the first classico? that messi has scored over 40 goals this season?

arsenal surrendered a four goal lead at newcastle just a couple of weeks back, now you expect them to go to the nou camp and beat barca?

yeah you beat chelsea, but tbf chelsea have been awful this season (despite their good start), even liverpool beat them at stamford bridge a couple of weeks back

and yeah i do believe that united have the beating of arsenal, you haven't scored a win against us for two and a half years

i think you should be optimistic.

arsenal need to play for a 1 - 1 result in 90 minutes.

they don't need a win.

Fabregas has even't hit form this season. I think this could be the match where he turns it on.

If Barca are so good and we beat them, imagine what we'll do to a shit team like United! Arsenal are getting stronger all the time, with many talented young players, United are over reliant on their golden oldies who are in decline.

We were down to 10 men against Newcastle, and were complacent against Newcastle since we held a 4 goal lead and thought we had the game won.

Anyway, I think United will struggle against Marseille, never mind going up against 'the best team in the world'.

arsenal fans do make me laugh

the most arrogant and deluded fans in the league

do you honestly think that united are a 's**t team'?

The question is whether Arsenal are better then Barcelona and would anyone like to see Barca in the semis of the champions league?

I think probably both Arsenal and Barcelona deserve to move on.

Both teams have something to prove, I think that Barcelona will advance though.

Firstly, you thought Arsenal didn't stand any chance in either leg, so shows how little you know. Secondly, shit compared to Barca, yes, obviously everything is relative, I don't mean shit in the same way that say, Wolves, are shit.

Journalists are talking about Man U potentially being the worst team to ever win the Prem, if they were to do it, though Man U have a false position in the league, just as Chelsea did earlier in the season.
