well we sold you Overmars and Petit and we stole Cesc, is that enough?

 

They donated us Gio :star:

 

I hope Messi will be fit, but I doubt Xavi will have enough match rhythm to start. Would be unfair towards Iniesta/v.Bommel too.

 

Where is Cesc near Iniesta Deco or Xavi? He is so overrated

I expected a better answer than this

 

:thmbdown:

To be fair Jern, we've listened to you call Cesc the best midfielder in the world right now, so you should also give some credit to Iniesta who clearly had a better semifinal round than your young gem, no?

I know you for being honest and fair so i'm sure you would say so :flirt:

 

So it's come to this, Barca v Arsenal, in Paris.

Of course Barca are a phenomenal team and will be difficult to beat, but my team can play too, and Barca is not invincible, they have weaknesses - on a good day, and that's all it takes, one day - we can claim the trophy.

I can see Hleb and Eboue giving Gio hell, I'm sure he'll need assistance to deal with that menace.

 

double post.

 

The one surrounding Cesc is obviously the most interesting subplot to the game. Apart from that, there's not much history between the clubs, nothing too interesting at-least.

Anyway, Barcelona versus Arsenal is quite clearly the best victory football could have hoped for, and a fitting vindication for two very admirable football philosophies, that is, Wenger's and Rijkaard's. The way the UCL was going in recent years, it did have me wondering when we'd see a final like this one again (possibly the last final that held as much potential for being an attacking spectacle was the 2000 one between Real and Valencia). Hope this is a precursor to a victory for attacking football in the World Cup as well.

 

Like everybody else with a brain, I'm looking forward to this match. But don't forget gents, we do have a Liga title to win, starting this weekend.

We'll focus on the Frenc- I mean, the English team when the game comes round.

 

I really pray Messi returns, but theres bad news....he was running full speed and he felt something bothering him in his leg, supposedly he got frustrated and started kicking the cones around him.

Xavi should sit this one out....Iniesta has been amazing.

 

Where did you get your information from, ArgBoca?
I really hope Messi makes it. It would be a shame if he missed the final....

Tnx :thumbsup:

The articel said it wasnt so serious but then again they wérent even sure, weather it was the same injury or a new one :frustrat:

 

I'll be interested to hear the thoughts of guys like K4 and Carles, great people but now that their team is involved with Arsenal, I'll be even keener to read them.

 

Tnx :thumbsup:

Its very common for injury to result in pain during the recovery. Range of motion and strength will improve but pain is usually the last thing to go away. I hope too he is fit. Barca deserves to win this.
:thumbsup:

 

hope you guys win the thing. not only that, i hope larsson is back to score the winner and in doing so, puts celtic into the CL proper for next season. dont you all agree, that would be so fitting with henrik leaving for sweden to help out BOTH his clubs??
Good luck in the final and........HAIL HAIL THE CELTS ARE HERE!

Sorry, how does it help the Celts if he scores?

 

I assume a Barca victory would effect the co-efficients, positively in the case for Celtic?

Not sure why, just spectulating.

Respect for Arsenal... they're better than what I thought. We're better than them, but this is a final and the best doesn't always win. Examples? Last year.

Hopefully, Messi is back... so he better takes care of himself. We need him.

 

Força, força!!! This is a historical chance, go for it Barça! roud: :star:
