@TONYMBA LOL..lallu Now he is lallu in Barca bench
Fabregas is in the starting 11 from this season only...pehle toh woh bhi bench wala hi tha
@TONYMBA said:
saar...add Alex Song....he was lallu in the beginning,but later he emerged as a fine midfielder
he was fine but not someone we miss badly (in that way he is similar to flamini).
eagerly awaiting the clash of the titans
Sincerely hoping Wenger silences his critics. Wilshere and Cazorla need to be at their best and please we don't want to see ramsey back in the team.
@maddy0707 : no Gervinho as well...
@TONYMBA No Gervinho is definitely a positive.
@TONYMBA Gervinho hasn't performed up to the mark this season though he did improved his performance in African Cup of Nations.
I don't think he will be in starting 11 as Podolski,Giroud and Walcott already have reserved their places.
Hoping Arshavin does play some role in this match as I am yet to get over the winner he scored barca two years ago.

@maddy0707 Arshavin? He won't even be on the bench dude.
My starting 11 -
GK - Szczesny
If Koscielny is fit, then Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen
If Koscielny is not fit, then Jenkinson, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen
Arteta, Cazorla, Wilshere
Podolski Giroud Walcott
Subs - Mannone, Miquel, Ramsey, Diaby, Coquelin, Rosicky, Chamberlain
@supreetkini I know yar but still hoping as I like him, he has that thing about big match performances.
Koscielny is fit, he played in the fa cup. So, Vermalen have to shift to left-back. Also, Rosicky should be given some time in the middle, he makes some deadly piercing runs and can be that creative spark if wilshere does not fire.
Round of 16: 1st leg

Arsenal : 1 Bayern Munich : 3 ... FT (arsenal ki ho gayi chutti)

FC Porto : 1 Malaga : 0 ... FT

UEFA Champions league ... halamadrid
...
@TONYMBA Expected result..And i think now arsenal will find it hard to hold Wilshere( he's talented.and look world class)..So he will definitely look forward to clubs who can give him trophies and money..

BM looks as efficient as their national team..I hope they dont run into Barca/RM(if they qualify) before final
Ars ¨ne Wenger -

Sell Wilshere| Get loads of cash| Get drunk| Enjoy |

Yeah, Wilshere was excellent no doubt about that. Don't know why Wenger opted for Ramsey and Cazorla should have played in a more central role. Cazorla should play just behind the striker as he is very deadly in the areas around the box.

Now, 3-0 needed on 13 march at Allianz Arena.
Only positive,schweinsteiger will not play in the second leg.

Thoroughly outplayed! No cause for complaints. Bayern clearly are a superior team. A real well oiled efficient German machine!

That was a lesson for all the premier league teams,i know arsenal arent the league contenders these year...but boy is it a fun to see Bayern play...they have abundance of talent...Robben nd Gomez on bench...not to mention injuries...Van buyten was playing in central defense...I cant wait to see Bayern Vs Barcelona in Quarters....cos if it doesnt happen then...it will b most probably be the final...cant see any other teams coming close to them....coming from a Manchester United fan!!!!

This month is shaping quite nicely. We have Chelsea vs City this weekend and then the big encounter on 27th. Hala Madrid @TONYMBA I too want Madrid to win.

@shakysanky Bro Footy is unpredictable, espcially the champions league last year Chelsea were written off but they beat both BM and Uefalona to their way for the silverware...

I think one of utd/R.mad can stop them...

U will have to agree that last year...Chelsea were fortunate to reach there...with that penalty miss...i mean taking nothing away from chelsea...they made the most of their opportunities...but one gets a feeling that these teams have just too much quality....neways lets c what happens in the second leg...i think we will c only one team from England based on first leg results!!!

hmm we were fortunate okay!!
how can you justify this, we played against Barcelona with 10 men and went down by 2-0 then made a comeback. Buddy this isn't called fortunate, this is called making most of the opportunity and showing true character. And against Bayern also we got only 1 corner and we made it count. Sure they are the best team in the world and accept the fact that we beat them. Yes we were bit lucky also but you can't say we were only fortunate to reach there.

KTBFFH!!
@shakysanky yes the teams other than english are showing far superior quality these days..Though i dont know why people are writing off ManU so early? They are almost on equal footing with RMA after first leg( even more) .

Regarding chelsea win last year..Well yes winning on penalties did took off some shine of their legacy..But they were the Champions and thoroughly deserved the crown more than any other team..

BM vs Barca would be mouth watering as both teams excel on possesion game..Though i too feel RMA/MUtd can stop them before final as both teams consist of some gamechangers which Arsenal surely lack after RVp exit.

No mate fortunate is wrong word, getting back from 3-1 down is not fortunate, getting back from man down goal down with no central def in the home of worlds best team is not done only with luck. beating a team in their own backyard in cl finals is not fortunate....
