The Arsenal Thread XXIV

gay gunners

Imagine genuinely thinking we aren't going to do a mad one vs Barca and make them look like mugs by sneaking a cheeky 2-2 draw at home before getting abused like a 15 year old girl when Adam Johnson/ @shawn_o1 is around at Camp Nou.

Also, what genuinely special kid suggested starting Neny and Welbz with Walcott up top? Genuinely chuckled then muttered to myself "what a bellend"

Marca front page says Barcelona's Las Palmas win was just "a warm up" for the Arsenal tie, apparently.

Sport (Barcelona-based newspaper) front page being as arrogant as ever, saying Arsenal don't have a chance. Yet they'll be the ones dishing the dirt on the Catalans if we aren't beaten 5-0

Well they only won 2-1 against the side bottom of La Liga I believe, so this arrogance isn't warranted imo.

Yet they also beat Madrid 4-0. I'm sure they won't be playing like they did on Saturday lol

No point taking the Papers seriously anyway. I doubt Barcelona will be going into the game believing its a cake walk.

Thierry Henry is a snake.

Line up for tomorrow:

Cech, Bellerin, Per, Koscielny, Monreal, Ramsey, Coquelin, Ox, Ozil, Alexis, G-Rude.

Heard it here first.

In a game where we're going to have little possession and need to keep hold of the ball when we have it why would we play Ox?

Who else would we play? It makes sense when you think about it, and I think he'll put in a performance tomorrow.

Campbell and Walcott undoubtedly better choices imo. But both got a lot of minutes on the weekend so maybe not. Would love Wengs to banter them off and play:

Cech
Chambers Kosc Mert Mon
Bellerin Coq Flam Gibbo
Neny Rambo

just for the chat

Also why would you have Giroud in a game where you are almost certain to play on the counter?

Barca will just score a few then back off.

Nou Camp is where they'll go HAM.

For the hold up play one would assume. We've done it before and I think with all our fast players off form it makes sense tbh.

I'm genuinely stunned how loud every non Arsenal fan is getting. Are we favourites? No. Have we beaten every top team to come the Emirates in Europe over the past few years? Yes (inb4 Monaco chat). Barca at home is bread and butter to Wengs, in the same way he eats Peps teams up at the Emirates for fun.
