Barca vs Arsenal final would be immense 
The thought scares me tho 
would be a good game for the Barca fans, as their forwards would rip that defence apart.

Really?
How many goals have Arsenal conceded in the last 7 champions league matches?

The thought of Arsenal in the champions league final is laughable

compare Arsenals defence to Chelseas, and then see how easy it was for Barca to score against them!!

Juve have lost 3 games this season in the league and Champs League, and they are ten points clear at the top of Serie A. They are doing better than AC Milan, yet everyone seems to fear them more than Juve.
I'll go with Cosmo's predictions.

I personally think it would be a great acheivement for out team of youngsters to even make the semi's!
If we made the final against Barca at least we could say we lost to the best team in the world at the moment!

Arsenal are a mediocer team, and dont belong in these stages of the CL.
my friend who's a goonar put it to me perfectly:
they have (juve) del piero, trezeguat, ibrahimovic, vieria, camoranasi, buffon, canavarro, nedved...................but its ok, we have HENRY!!!!!!
but IMO its not ok that they just have Henry, an out of from reyes and pires, and a bunch of young players who look like cracking because of their shit inconsistant performances.

The point you have all missed is Barca can open up the best of defences purely from the fact that the Barca players take their brains onto the pitch with them, and the tactics Frank Rjikaard uses with the 2 fwds either side of Eto'o and they are also supported by a further 2 wingers to drag central midfielders out of position, thus allowing Ronaldinho and Messi/Giuly to drop into the edge of the 18yard box and create havoc, John Terry was exposed like a paedo in a nursery at Camp Nou.

Not missed that point, that just shows how good they are. If they can open up one of the best defences in Europe (Chelsea) then how easy will it be to open up Arsenals.

Cosmo I think Barcelona have a team that has settled and got into a routine, everyone knows their role and knows their team-mates preferred style of play etc....
Arsenal have had too many changes in their squad and rotations don't help.
I do think Arsenal will beat Juventus though, Arsenal's preferred tempo wouldn't suit the lazy italian style and they won't counter Arsenal quickly enough.

At least post the Semi-Final draw aswell!
Semi Final Draw:
INTER/Ajax or Villareal VS JUVE or Arsenal
MILAN or Lyon VS BARCA or Benfina
Looks like a Milan derby final then - and Luigi revenge will be sooooo sweet!

Isn't the aim of the game to get as many flares/fireworks/chairs/burning mopeds (yes the Inter fans have done that before) on the pitch as possible?!

Did you hear about when the Inter fans done that? Can't remember who it was against but it was a couple of years ago at the San Siro, some of them managed to smuggle a stolen moped to the upper tiers of the stadium above the visiting supporters, they set the moped alight and pushed it off their upper tier and into the away fans! Luckily I think it got caught on something on it's journey and never got to fall onto them or it'd of been carnage!
Mentalists is the correct word!

I wouldnt want to be in Paris if it was an Inter vs AC final, that would be one hostile place.

you know whichever team loses would riot that city, and with the relatively short travelling distance there would be thousands upon thousands of fans there!

Then book yourself a ticket to Paris, because that isn't going to happen.

To be honest, you cant think Arsenal are a good side and we will show you that tomorrow! You've got to this stage and fair play to you but you wont beat Juventus and thats that!!
