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
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'.
