Champions league final, Paris, may 17th. This is like a dream come true

I think we will take it 2-1

if the game is half as good as last years then itll be awesome

If both teams play to their full potential it will be end to end stuff!! This is what i wanna see, but i also wanna see Ronaldinho play like he has been in the CL and Barcelona take the cup!!


P.S - Arsenal are capable of stopping Barcelona doing this, dont get me wrong!!

Arsenal couldn't stop Villareal controlling the second leg, what about Barca then?

This is always the best game of the year. Last years match did not dissapoint!

match will suck

This is what i mean. They played shit against Villereal (maybe it was tactics or just fear) but look at em against Real Madrid and Juventus.

Mon the Gunners!!! 1. if they win celtic dont get into CL group stages automatically 2. dont wanna see henrik larsson(altho wouldnt mind seeing gio) win a CL winners medal.

i cant wait for it

i'm all booked up now, were just waiting on tickets now. even if were not successful i'm still going out there, gonna be thousands of Gooners going.

COME ON ARSENAL!!!

GOOOOOOOOOO BARCELONA..

ARSENAL 1 - BARCELONA 2

HMMMMM its going to be a hektik match to watch.. cant wait

3-0 Barcelona!!!
Eto'o, Giuly, Ronaldohino scores!!!!
FORZA BARCELONA!!!!

i think barcelona will win this 1-0

I hope Arsenal don't come out and play defensive football, but Wenger will almost certainly play a 4-5-1. Henry will have to lead the attack with little or no support, and considering his performance in Spain, he doesn't look capable of doing so. That said, all it takes is one moment of brilliance (see Madrid game). It's almost certain that Arsenal will go out and play defensive football, while hoping to spring the occassional counter. If Barca score first, then the result is likely booked, as Arsenal have yet to deal with conceding first in the knockout stages. I think Arsenal's relatively young back four will finally be exposed by Ronaldinho, Eto'o, and co. If Arsenal are to even stand a chance, their defense must be superb - especially Toure and Eboue - and they must not cop a goal first. I think Barca shall take this; as for a final scoreline, I'm a bit unsure.

I think that we are placing too much emphasis on Barca being this dynamic ultra attacking team. Clearly they are this when playing in the La Liga but when it comes to CL matches they dont score as freely. I see this game ending 1-0 or 2-1 to Barca in a very tight game with a Ronaldinho magic moment settling it. For Arsenal to revert to their old style attacking game they need a healthy Ljungberg and a younger Pires to support Henry which they dont have either anymore.

Arsenal for sure, 2 - 1!

DREAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMERRRRRRRRR

HAHAHA jks wooooosaaaa

its ok 'HRDGRK' anything can happen if arsenal does win i will just cry

now a question i have been wanting to ask u... why "hrdgrk" den mou les, ti einai auto pou einai HRD??

you're in there mate!!

i believe barca will torn arsenal apart!
3-0,4-0 or something like it!
arsenal's defence suck!

ARsenal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, thats why we have the record of 10 consecutive clean sheets in the CL

After Lehman made that save it seems like destiny for the Gooners. 2-1 as Henry scores both in front of his french home fans. Ronnie gets it for Barcelona.

This game for me breaks down like this.

1. No way Barca's back 4 can handle Henri, he will score.
2. The Gunners D has been good in the CL but not so good in the Premiership. I think this is mostly because the Arsenal midfield pressures the opposition and non-English teams are not used to this. Barca has played enough English competition to adjust and will not be phased.
3. Ronaldinho is the best player in the world, easy.

I'm biased but Barca is taking this 2-1.

Forca Barca!

How ever you look at it,this game is a hard one to predict. Ive watched both teams in the build up for this finall,and they both deserve to be ther.Arsenals last performance was lacking in atack and firing power but they went ther like a nervous team who was scared to drop at the last hurdle.
All i know is if Arsenal play like they played in the build up its gona be an electric game especially henry in his home land. For me Ronaldinho is the Don of football

Arsenal 3-2Barcelona



It should be HENRY -v- RONALDINHO

When both teams are playing their best, which 1 is better!?


Imagine Ronaldinho and Henry get injured during other games (La Liga and PL)!! What a fuk up of a final it would be. Makari both players are 110% fit, so that there are no excuses coming out of the Gooner fans mouthes!!

i'm just glad were there...its a tough one to call coz if they have messi back we gotta deal with him aswell as Dinho and xavi will be back too

i will enjoy the event regardless and may the best team win. we can do it if we play to our potential.

my tickets were confirmed today as were greekgooners!!

were off to Paris...cant fuckin wait!!

Enjoy the game, it will be a cracker!

ARSENAL ALL THE WAY!!

I'm heading to Paris too, just got my ticket printed yesterday!

I got my Barcelona jersey on with Ronaldihno's name on the back.

FORZA BARCELONA!!!!

after GREECE england has been my team ever since the days of GARY LINEKER and i follow fanatically the premiership and liverpool is my sec fav team but barcelona will easily beat arsenal.they will not be able to stop eto and ronaldhino.barcelona is way better and theres no way theres gonna be a second cinderella story i n a row at the champions league

News is that Senderos will play instead of Campbell apparently..

i hope not...hes done well but when he comes up against skilful dribblers like lennon he gets twined and jumps in. taking away Sol's fuck ups this season i think we need his experience out there

Good Luck to Arsenal

May the Better team win.

PLZ GOD LET IT BE BARCA

just a day to go .... Cant wait!

I think Barca pulls it of 3 - 2... with Guily scoring at least one ( i really dont know why I think this I just do)

Hey Sash, can you post some match pictures when you get back?

Right guys, my last post before heading off to Paris! Should have some good photos to put up of the match and celebrations........(i hope) and general fans around the city!

Cooooome on you yellows!!

as a premiership fanatic follower i will sadly have to say that this will be a blow out.im expecting a 3-0 win from barcelona as in no way will arsenal stop that little magician and his sidekick eto.being as BARCA are my 3rd fav team i cant see mediocre arsenal beating barca,there cinderella run will end tommorow

Barca for ever!!!!!!!!

Lehmann off red card Arsenal down to 10 men wow.........

1-0 Arsenal. Campbell.

Anybody have an internet link?

1-0 Campbell header from Henry we got a game folks...

I've got 5 bucks riding on Arsenal - pame pame pame!

You can listen in greek on sport-fm.gr - as for watch, no idea

Pw pw pw.. what a crazy first half...

Henry one on one with the GK and Valdez knocks it out..

Lehmann sent off..

Campbell goal and a non existant free kick...

Eto' dokari...

One crazy gme!! Pame Arsenal!!!

Cmon the Arse!

IMO, red card was mistaken. Ref should have let the advantage play with the resulting goal and book Lehman with a yellow, not red.

Everyone is believing that!! The ref fucked up the whole match

I don't know why its so difficult for referee's to determine which card, if any, is appropriate in given situations. Just like the ref who screwed up the Dabizas red in the Larisa-OSFP match. I wonder how these guys ever get licensed, much the less ref high level matches.

1-1. Eto '76. Classical near post finish. Great through ball by Larsson.

2-1. Belletti '80. Another GREAT pass by Larsson.

BTW, this is an absolutely MAGNIFICENT performance by Arsenal, all things considered.
