I think (and hope) it will be a very friendly one.

I still love him more than any other soccer player and will always appreciate what he has done for the club. He played with a lot of passion and still speaks about us in such a positive manner. 8 years is a might long time in European Football.

I think his reception will be huge & the only Arsenal fan I could imagine not welcoming him with open arms would be an Irish Gooner!

Well 2-2 is a great result for Arsenal.

Do people still think my comments regarding Barca vs Arsenal's defense were overstated? The first 70 minutes were an absolute hammering by Barca and they should have been in front by about 4 goals.

Amazingly Almunia was MOTM in the first half.

Was at Emirates last night. Arsenal were rubbish for the first 60 min, but to their credit they pull back the deficit. Agree they'll be out next week.

After some recent domination of English teams in the pointy end of the Champions League, we could have zero in the last four.

However, even without Rooney, Man U should go through at home (but it will not be a push over), but you would expect Barcelona to be far too good for Arsenal at the Camp Nou.

Inter should hold out Moscow, but that is still on a knife edge.

.

Bayern should be favourites esp. if Robben is back and the rest of their strikers get fit.

Messi is a freak!

Re: UEFA Champions League - 2009-10

But the comment about having their backline destroyed by Barca was a pretty big statement.

Barca only scored 6 in the 2 legs but really they should have had 9 or 10. Was a battering.
