Re: The round of 16 Champions League (drawn against Barcelona)
Tough draw but winnable. Barca's strength is attacking, weakness is defence. The same could be said of City. This has the potential to be a pair of very high scoring games. I honestly believe that, if we can play like we have done at home this season (Bayern aside) that we've a chance of beating them. Barca are favourites, clearly, but we can get at them, and we can score. Messi's availability isn't certain either, if he's out that's a bonus.

Re: The round of 16 Champions League (drawn against Barcelona)
Cannot wait! Get Eastlands rocking for the home game. Then attack through their slow, soft centre and score a few! Will be a case of us sitting and defending and then attacking quickly. Going to be quite a few goals I would have thought. Pellegrini will approach the game cautiously in the first leg and keep us in the tie and then we will look to counter away from home. Same approach as he used with Malaga! Been waiting for a big European night like this for a long long time!!!

That will do nicely, wanted Barca so Im happy, doom mongers piss off to rag café, we will beat Barca, they will shit themselves when the Beast and Kun start putting them to the sword. This is what its all about!! Way too many worrying about who the rags have drawn, who gives a flying one, they will be destroyed sooner or later.. York away to this, it could not be better!!

He played in Germany and was on the bench at home, as I said what's to fear.

Imagine the midfield battle with Yaya, Fernan, Nasri and Merlin against them. Wow!conormcfc said:Easily the toughest draw we could've had.
Looking forward to it though. Glad I'll get to see that midfield trio of Xavi/Iniesta/Busquets in the flesh before Xavi hangs them up.
