Going to be a good game. But I feel the Arses try to hard to emulate Barca, so I feel there will be plenty of space for Messi. Xavi etc to create open runs and **** up the Arses defence.
Happy that Barca have home game 2nd.
Cesc will know where he belongs next season after Barca finish with them.

2nd leg at home is such a bonus. Promises to be a good tie. Difficult run to the final compared to the other side. I want to get a ticket for Emirates.

I'm looking forward to this. Nice for Henry to go back to London, too.

If we get passed Arsenal, we're in the final for sure. We've always drawn on Meazza and Mourinho never defeated us on Camp Nou. Vamos a Madrid :D

will be very hard to get tickets. very small allocation (2,000).
Too late to be a soci now. and you shouldn't become a soci just to get a ticket for a game, it is meant to mean more than that.

I have no fear. If Arsenal had Van Persie, I'd give them a chance, but without him they lack the cutting edge.
I worry about Titi and wether he can handle the pressure playing there, but he's a professional.
This will be a mirror of the Champions final, only this time it will be Cesc (not Henry) who, after his team are beaten, realises it's time to come to the Camp Nou.

I think you are jumping on the wrong end of the stick. I know what it means to be a soci. I'm just saying that if I were a soci, it be easier to get a ticket.

Should be a great game. Arguably the two best passing and possession teams, whats going to matter is the central midfield area and who gains control there. Yaya/Busquets will be key in stopping Fabregas.

Arshavin against Alves will also be interesting. If they play a counterattack style game Alves is likely to be caught out by Arshavin's pace if we're too sloppy in possession.

my mate text me earlier to let me know he had got a ticket in corporate via work for the first leg, i'm hoping he gets sick and can't go, and lets me take his place.
although, i may have a slim chance of getting a ticket myself. fingers crossed.

Gallas probably out of this match. Means Sol Campbell/Vermalen.

yeah sorry wasnt having a go, just one of my gripes that some people do that!

And to the felix guy, if your'e not affiliated to the club in anyway (like being a member) then you have no chance in getting a ticket officially, if i'm honest!
