Must be team news/ Geoff rumours by now?
Geoff rumors? I'm more interested in Jeff rumors like what position he's starting at....
Arsenal line-up (official): Cech; Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Ramsey, Coquelin, Flamini; Ozil, Sanchez, Giroud

Dangerous game, takes balls (or stupidity) to try it against barça. If we're playing a high block I'd bank on Welbz starting.

Fucking Flamini :angry:
Ramsey on the wing :angry:
Sooooooo....we're looking to pack it tight, exploit set pieces, and hit them on the counter in the second?
Barcelona:
This is the Arsenal team, no flam:
Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Ramsey, Ozil, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexis, Giroud Subs: Ospina, Chambers, Gibbs, Flamini, Campbell, Walcott, Welbeck
Hmm just read the referee is very card happy. Doesn't bode well.
More worried about the bench with Flamini on there. Let's hope Coq doesn't pick up any silly yellows.
I only read the bogus lineup with Flamini in it at first and almost had a heart attack.
I'm so nervous about this game right now. I haven't been able to think of anything else all day.
Same.
LETS FUCKING DO THIS!
I'm not nervous at all. I expect Barca to knock us out quite comfortably.
