Arsenal travel better in Europe than they do in England historically. No one gave us a shot at ties against Milan, Madrid, and Juve in Europe. Each one of the hardest places to go get a result. The tie against Barcelona is dependant on the first leg though.
And please remember puys, the last time we played them we were not even close to full strength. They were, and they had the best player on the planet. This time we have our fully fit best striker, midfield, and wingers. Didn't have them last time.
Although like last time we don't have our best defender :[ lets hope our defensive line hold up against an attack thats not physical but fast (the kind of attack arsenal defences prefer playing against) No Ibra to bully our back line this time :]

Arsenal team is much stronger than last year. Last year when we played barca our squad was badly hit by injuries. During the decisive second leg we were missing gallas, fabregas, rvp, arshavin and song. Thats nearly half of our first team.
This time around we have a defense with new found confidence and RVP, fabregas nasri, song and walcott in superb form, i m sure its going to be a very different tie than last year.
But on the other hand has also improved. They have replaced Ibra with Villa. Barca, on their day is too gud for any team on this planet. Lets hope it isn't their day

Well i wud be more happy than an Arsenal fan if Barca loose to Arsenal in the UCL
I do agree tht Arsenal have been rejuvenated this time around as comapred to their previous year's...But all depends on how Arsene Wenger manages to get the best out of his team..!!
They have got a good team this year...way to go Arsenal
Seeing Barca Slip up 2 crucial points...Madrid's hopes of winning the La Liga title have been restored
Barca, on their day is too gud for any team on this planet
But but but...The team is Barcelona and they are arguably the best...!!!
chelsea Managed a draw at craven cottage
...it could have been even worse for them if dempsey have converted his penalty:drinking:...anyways it's to early to say but i think its safe to say chelsea are out of the title race...best they can hope for is a champions league spot...as far as torres signing is concerned all i can say is 
i wonder what would be torres's reaction if chelsea dont qualify for ucl
i Sill think chelsea would manage the fourth spot...i am also pretty sure they'll spend big now..whether they end up on 4th or 5th spot.
dev30 Sayschelsea Managed a draw at craven cottage...it could have been even worse for them if dempsey have converted his penalty:drinking:...anyways it's to early to say but i think its safe to say chelsea are out of the title race
Man it's not at all early to say
Chelsea are out of the title race and barring some unexpected twist, United are the Champions this year. Spurs shall falter once they get the Champions league fatigue going in their team so I think Chelsea will eventually qualify :-P
And Torres:drinking: Hope he does well man! He made a wrong decision to join a club where he WILL HAVE SERIOUS COMPETITION for his place in the starting XI and with performances like these, I'm sure he'll start of the bench from the next game. Not because of his INJURY but because there are others in the team in better shape to score at the moment. Sad for a player of this stature.
Hope he shows what he's all about in future games. A former Red so I wish him all the best 
jatin-phoenix Saysi Sill think chelsea would manage the fourth spot...i am also pretty sure they'll spend big now..whether they end up on 4th or 5th spot.
but have'nt they done that already
...50m for torres:splat: & 20 odd for david luiz who looks a good player...btw who are going to sign next messi for 150m 
dev30 Says...as far as torres signing is concerned all i can say is
Imagine liverpool coming 4th (though very bleak possibility) and chelsea dropping out of top 4, Whole football world would have a good at Torres. He himself said he is joining a bigger club.

The script cannot be written better than this,if there is one to be.Remember chelsea,to have any chance of winning must make a double on united,which is highly unlikely if d vice versa happens and liverpool plays like last 5 matches they played then god help chelsea stay in top 4.
I seem to remember people saying Chelsea are going to runaway with the title and they seriously looked like it
Now they are fighting for 4th place!!! There are obviously some internal issues going on like during the days of Scolari
Seems the Russian is interfering again!!
Spurs beat milan at the san siro 1-0 ...This world is more than I can take
Spurs win against Milan at the San Siro!
Imagine this headline sometime in 2006. Times have surely changed big time. Yeah they had their injuries and all but it's no excuse and Milan's performance was completely below par.
Just goes to show that EPL top 4 whosoever it may be can give any European team a run for their money. Spurs are looking a fantastic team as a group and uncharacteristic of their history, they look very solid defensively in Europe. Well done Harry and co. a big achievement indeed.
finally getting to watch some live action involving Barcelona after a long time thanks to no la liga broadcast in india, hoping for a game full of goals

dude.. no offences meant.. but ten action shows la liga matches every week.. LIVE...
chayan085 Saysdude.. no offences meant.. but ten action shows la liga matches every week.. LIVE...
Most places dont have tn action:banghead::banghead::banghead: Why cant they give rights to the established channels
rohan_b SaysMost places dont have tn action:banghead::banghead::banghead: Why cant they give rights to the established channels
then how would you watch today's match? even barca-arsenal match is going to be shown in either ten action or ten sports..
and i confirmed it... ten action is going to telecast the barca-arsenal match live...
These are selling tactics of Channels
Who wants to miss Arsenal and Barcelona clash?
They should telecast it on Ten Sports
rohan_b SaysMost places dont have tn action:banghead::banghead::banghead: Why cant they give rights to the established channels
Even I don't get it saar.
Man it's a stupid new channel marketing strategy by Ten Sports people. As they are newbies as far as CL is concerned
First they should try to ensure glitch free champions league telecast (minus the great carlton palmer who sucks big time)then force cable operators to show their new channel.
no one can match ESPN telecast when it comes to sports in India
gattuso first pushed joe jordan(he was an former ac milan striker and now the spurs coach) and then had butted him.why was he behaving like an insane and also his team mate flamini with a two footed foul on corluka which will keep him out for weeks.
spurs should be praised for not retaliating against them and hence the result proves it.
