My guys from Arsenal will take on powerhouse Barcelona at our house Emirates on Wednesday.
This will be balls to the wall match between to very good sides.
Robin Van Persie needs to step up big time.
Jack Wilshere needs to rip the twines as well as Cesc Fabregas.
The “D” needs to play airtight.
The guys can’t afford to have a brain fart and let Messi and his mates have clean looks and shots at the net.
If this happens it will be a long night.
Wenger says his club is ready- The only thing I can say is we are in an ideal condition to face them,” said the Frenchman. “We cannot complain. We have the belief, the confidence and the players available. We are 90 per cent in February and that was not the case last year. I feel we are in an ideal position to face them.”
We just want to show how good we are,” he said. “We want to show the belief we have in our game, in our quality, more than looking at the past.
“We have practiced. We are determined, focused and we want to win this competition. We know we face the super-favourites of this competition but the only way to do it is to knock them out.”
Defender Diaby said it is not all about Messi- We need to be focused on the way we defend and not be focused on one man,” the Frenchman told Arsenal.com. “We know that individually he is really good but if we do the job together I think it will be difficult for him. For me, that is the best way to control him and control the game.
“When you focus on one man it is never a good idea because they have also got Iniesta, Xavi, Villa – so many players. The most important thing is to be well organised defensively and, when we have got the ball, play our game.
“I watch Barcelona play quite often because I like the way they play, the way they move and obviously they have got the best player in the world.
“We know that this is a great team but we have a very good side with very good players. We can beat anybody in the world. We just need to be conscious of our qualities and play our game.”
He is so right. The other guys will kill ya tamben.
Alex Song chimed in stating the Chelsea showed hwo to beat Barca- “The reference point for us has to be the Chelsea match from December, when we pressed them very high from the first minute and gave them no room.
“We need to do that to Barcelona – they have a similar style to us and it should be a pleasure for everyone to watch.
“I can’t wait. Everyone’s talking about it, not just here – a lot of my friends have been in touch wanting to come over and watch.
Alex Song said this about RVP- “I’ve always said that Robin is one of the best strikers in the world – he’s had bad injuries but has come back so well.
“When Robin is 100 per cent fit, you know he’s dangerous at any time. He’s scored a lot of goals in the past few weeks and helped the team in other ways; it’s very important to have him fit, because he’s one of the guys who gives you a real chance.”
Let’s see if we can kill the giants from Barca.
Gunner nation rules.
Gunenr for life.

Pompey fought the gallant fight but in the end Chelsea’s superior firepower, won the FA Cup in a thrilling 1-0 win.
Chelsea had the most scoring chances but the Blues couldn’t pull the trigger until Didier Drogba’s deadly free kick from twenty yards out was squeezed between Portsmouth keepers David James out stretched hand the right post in the 59th minute.
Prior to Drogba’s deadly strike Pompey had a golden chance to spin the match on its head but Kevin-Prince-Boateng’s PK was stone cold stopped by Blues keeper Petr Cech in the 56th minute.
Wham bam just like that in a span of three minutes the match was twisted on its ear and the Blues stuck a fork in Pompey’s dream of winning the FA Cup.
Portsmouth is broke and given the heave-hoe all in one season, yet this was a glorious run by the foreclosed side.
The money made from reaching the FA Cup might help the bankrupt Pompey.
Frank Lampard had a chance to increase the Blues lead in the 89th minute but Portsmouth keeper David James said “No way Jose” and shut em down.
Way to go garoto.
All in all Chelsea was in complete control of the match from beginning to end.
The Blues achieved the daily double winning the EPL and FA Cup titles.
Trust me when I say this Chelsea is heading down the backside of forty. This means Drogba and the boys are getting older. Their window of opportunity is rapidly closing.
They need to bring in younger players to replace the fading stars.
The “Special One” Jose Mourinho brought Drogba and the rest in but the management has not found replacements for them.
Mourinho is good a winning titles with other peoples talent but his ability to build a championship squad stinks.
This is not Mourinho’s strong suit.
Man U had a down year by their standards but remember the Red Devils lost the fake Ronaldo and few other players. The mighty boys from Old Trafford played a very young squad.
Watch out EPL!
My guys from Arsenal are in the same boat. We were besieged by injuries. Younger guys such as Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott, and Carlos Vela were asked to step in big time to replace RVP and Cesc Fabregas who were hit by the injury bug.
My Gunners will be ready next year to win the title as well.
Flamengo battles Vitoria later today.
Lets hope Rubro-Negro doesn’t stink the joint out on the road in Salvador.
I wouldn’t bet on it.
Mengao is in shambles.
