I prefer this too. Then again, this has Barcelona plastered all over it.

Would rather play Atleti than Barca, but only because it'll be a different team for a change.

Being Realistic, I'd Really prefer Real - I would Realish that tie.

^ This one sentence should be enough jinx to ensure we don't get Real though

If our next opponent was based off of an online poll it'd probably be Morecambe FC or Man United or something.

Today's the day:

Wolfsburg drawn with Gent. That's one down...

Roma paired with Real Madrid. Another one down.

Barcelona. Of course we get Barcelona.

How many of us predicted this? Somehow get out the group, end up drawing Madrid or Barca...

I can't even..


Can we just not play the two games and therefore avoid some injuries?

this is pissing me off, why barca again? i didnt mind madrid or any other team, atleat it is different. but why barca AGAIN?

Atleast it isn't Pepcelona this time.

MSNcelona isn't any easier, but still.

Suarez is enemy and Barcelona same bcox of him.

We were niclos bendtner close to knocking barca out last time.

Time to step up

Pumped up

It dont mater who we face tbh, rather play the best and get it over with, dont want another Monaco.

The memories of beating Barcelona at home will never be forgotten.

Think of how much sweeter it'll be when we knock out prime Barcelona instead of Rafa's Real Madrid

Easy guys

Been there and done that.

Not even remotely.

We're pretty lucky to have reached this stage considering how many times we shot ourselves in the feet in the first few games so, it's much better to be in the Champions League knockouts facing Barca than the EL lining up against Krasnodov 1884 FC 02. (disclaimer)

You have to face the best at some point so if we did manage to pull off some miracle here then we'd be good enough to take it all, if not, we get it out of the way early and have more attention put on the league which I think we have a very good chance of winning this season.

Easy Tie

Should start the likes of Debuchy etc away and Kamara, Iwobi etc at home

Should recall Arshavin from his five year loan to Siberia while we're at it imo

If we were to follow our routine in R16, it is better to face barca then the likes of Wolfsburg or Zenit. Last time against Monaco we were under more pressure to win and that let to our downfall.

I really think that if we be THE ARSENAL on the day, it will be a spectacle for the neutrals.

Wenger reportedly set to give players badly needed extended mid-season break.

Would be willing to rest major players for FA Cup tie for the good of our title challenge.

Maybe something like:


Depends on fitness and availability, of course.
