So here it is, the Quarter finals. Arsenal are the sole representative team from England, how good does that sound! I remember the European nights we could chant 'There's only one team in Europe' against Torino etc. That was the Graham era, long ball football, urgh.

So tomorrow promises to be a great game with the return of one of Arsenal's greatest ever players of the modern era. I'd say top 5 of all time, Henry, Adams, Bergkamp, Wright all being above him. I'm sure he'll get a great ovation. He is a Legend.

Juventus are without Del Piero who was injured at the weekend, and Nedved. Whilst I'm disappointed that I won't see to of the best players of our generation, it can only be good news for Arsenal.

Arsenal have no more injuries as we didn't play at the weekend, with Reyes and Fat Sol fit again. I expect to see Reyes play but hopefully no fat Sol. I also hope Kolo doesn't get booked, that could really put as in the **** as he would be banned for the away leg. I also hope they don't sell out of programmes this time! Full team news to follow.

Come on the Gooners!!!

Stop tempting fate you ear'ole.

Should be a good match tomorrow night, although the non smoking policy during the match will be very, very difficult to stick to.

:D Spurs won't get there, trust me, I'm never wrong....

Loads of people still smoke, the stewards very rarely do anything in the NBL, I've watched loads of people with bottles of beer too.
 
Squad News:

Lehmann, Almunia, Eboue, Toure, Senderos, Hleb, Flamini, Fabregas, Gilberto, Pires, Henry, Djourou, Song, Bergkamp, van Persie, Reyes, Walcott, Diaby.

Good to see RvP there, hope he plays the boy is pure class.

Yeah, I know those 2 are the future. But we're talking about an important CL match here, against a great opposition. Had he been fit would you still pick Senderos ahead of Sol? :)

If he had been fit and in form, yes. But he hasn't been fit or in form this season.
 
He's in the squad. With Ljungberg injured I'd expect Reyes to figure particularly if we play 4-5-1. I'd go with 4-4-2 with Hleb on the right, Cescsational Cesc and Gilberto in the middle and Reyes on the left. The RvP and Henry together up top.
 
That was rubbish ;)

Great night, great atomsphere, great result. Toure is an awesome player and is one of the best defenders in Europe. Cesc this kid gets just better and better. Awesome. I/We may of offended 2 Juventus fans who had the displeasure of sitting in the NBL :p :D

Oh and Eboue made his debut last season ;)

Oh and it's VIEIRA :p

Btw what the hell was that Camprinese doing as he was walking off the field after getting sent off?? :eek:. Talk about being an idiot and trying to be bigger than the team as one of the commentators mentioned lol. Dont think Capello was too enthused with his antics, wouldnt be surprised if he got ripped into afterwards.

As he was going off everyone was waving goodbye to him, and cheering Cheerio. I guess he liked us as he waved back!
