Oh man. Arsenal vs Barcelona is going to be one cracker of a game.

No it won't. It'll be a massacre, unless we get Vermaelen back and Song understands what a defensive midfielder's primary role is. That and Barcelona are the best club side I've seen in my short lifetime, and their attacking options make me go weak at the knees.

Having said that, the last time we played them, we were missing Cesc, RVP, Arshavin, Gallas, Vermaelen and Song. That's pretty much the damn spine of the team ! If we can keep these guys fit (minus Gallas of course) then it might be a little interesting.

As i remember Arsenal was without the Stars Cesc , RVP Arshavin, Gallas, Vermaelen and Song and Barcelona was without Puyol , Pique , Iniesta add Villa if he Starts. I would love to see both the team playing with starting XI.

And 3 game between 26 Dec till 2nd jan in EPL , Crazy :twisted:

did anyone see the Villa - Chelsea game? Last 10 mins from 2-1 to Villa to a 3-3 at time. Some immense football to watch!

Yeah that was a thriller. The script was set for a comeback that would have felt like a Hollywood-style turning point in their season, but then their defense hilariously switched off for a few seconds in extra time. Ooh. Then again, I shouldn't talk after that Wigan game.

In other news, Man City seem to have plonked close to 30 mil for Dzeko and they're paying him, what, upwards of 150k a week? Ridiculous. When are those financial fair play rules being implemented? Will they even help?
