I know believe we might have a chance against Barca with Puyol's absence. Last season we played both legs (home/away) without our top striker but still managed to breach their defense three times. In the first leg at the Emirates, Messi was completely marked out, i think he was even substituted at some point in the match....i still blame Manugu's reject Silvestre and Almunia for our performance in the second leg at Camp Nou.
Apart from Vermaelen, all our top players will be available for tonight's match, so this time we have no excuse for losing.

Going through the UEFA CL website, I was quite surprised to learn that no team outside of England has won at the Emirates in the 27 CL games (that includes qualifiers) that have been played there... Well, with Messi having scored 24 goals in 20 La Liga games and 43 in 39 games for club and country, I don't see how he'll be denied. With Nasri, Cesc and RvP and no Puyol with Pique a card away from suspension in the next game, the gunners should fancy a draw. I simply can't envision Kscielny and Squillaci keeping away a team that had 2 midfielders and 2 strikers in the FIFA team of the year - no need to mention who they are. Many teams are hoping arses can do it, if only to avoid the compe. Damned if you do, damned if you don't  BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

Relax and focus on your game tonight. Marking out Messi does not prevent the goals, as you and Jose Mourinho are well aware...he draws 3 players to him leaving Villa with all the space in the world. That said, I will agree with you that your chances are better this time but this is Barca and this is the CL, anything can happen as we saw last night at San Siro. What I know for sure is that it'll be a beautiful match BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

What I know for sure is that it'll be a beautiful match Silvestre was a Man Utd reject who came to Arsenal for less than 1m pounds, i really never understood why Wenger bought this guy because he was still a liability at Old Trafford. If you look at the highlights of that match against Barca you'll understand why I'm saying he's to blame. At the back, our main defender so far has been Djourou...in fact i don't think we've lost any match in which he's played. Any team that manages to keep the Barca midfield players occupied will be assured of a win or a draw and that is where Cesc and Nasri come in. I don't want to be accused of making excuses for our poor performance against Barca last season but at Emirates we lost both Arsharvin and Gallas in the first half through injury...they were replaced by Eboue and Denilson.

Ac Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern..England can as well forget the CL.Englnd can keep yaping and hyping about epl, for all i care. @Kivairu, let me teach you something before you blah, blah, blah yourself to oblivion. Before last year, for FIVE consecutive years since Liverpool's famous comeback victory in 2004-2005, there was an EPL team in the Champs League final, winning 2 and losing out on 3. Before last year, EPL teams were hogging the Champs League semis en masse. In cases where 3 out of 4 teams were EPL sides in 07/08 and 08/09. Bayern? Apart from last year?? AC Milan? Are you serious or just showing us you know these teams? Real Madrid, well with Mourinho at the helm, they are a threat. However, remember this, for the past SIX years, yes 6, since 2004-2005, they havent made it past the 2nd round. So kama CL iko na wenyewe, get your facts right, and stop blah, blah, blahrring...
