  68. There's a lot of people writing Arsenal off here, I wouldn't be so sure
  69. HALF TIME : ARSENAL 0-1 BARCELONA (no added minutes)
  70. Ever since the Barca goal the tension has dropped and it's almost been Arsenal being scared to concede, rather than get an equaliser
  71. 44: More Barca passing
  72. 43: Nasri drops a cross towards v.Persie, who's header is high and off-target

  82. 34; A glimpse of the Arsenal counter attack: Koscielny battling, move ends with v.Persie hitting it straight at Abidal
  83. 33: Arsenal are struggling to get forward like they were in the first period of this half
  84. Barca are trying to wear Arsenal down here - The Gunners must stay disciplined
  85. 31: Barca knocking it about like it's a training session
  86. I'm still saying 2-1 Arsenal....If any Rugby fans out there want an advert for why football is better, turn ITV1 on NOW

  88. 27: HANDBAGS! Nasri booked for an altercation with Messi
  89. so, the old cliché - you can't do that against Barcelona, switch off that is
  90. Classic counter attacks, a ball slipped into Villa by Messi, he pokes it under Szczesny into the far corner. Unfortunate for the gunners
  91. 25: GOAL! Arsenal 0-1Barceloan (David Villa)
  92. 24: Walcott breaks, exceptional ball, Fabregas spins it towards an unmarked v.Persie but Abidal nips in. It was a banker if Abidal had miss
  93. Arsenal are in..... NO!
  94. 22: Messi danced into the box, weaker foot tries to lob Szczesny. fails
  95. Maybe that's a bit rash, he did hit that hat trick for England a while back
  96. Walcott has given possibly the best 20 mins of his career in this match
  97. 20 minutes gone and it's mesmerising....
  98. 18: v.Persie springs the Barca back four but Pique herds him to give away a goal kick
  99. just so y'all know @piersmorgan has said Messi is 'Overrated'
  100. Eboue just gave Villa a North London hello....
  101. Barcelona have got their mojo back and are now controlling the pace of the game
  102. Messi is still to score in England.....
  103. There's that class Barcelona have, right there
  104. 14: OOOOH! Messi sprung the back four, messi bearing down on goal chipping towards the far post but it's wide
  105. apologies for the caps there,!
  106. The referee is having a fantastic game, allowing a lot of ADVANTAGES AND KEEPING HIS EYE ON ALL CHALLENGES. REFRESHING
  107. 11: Classic Arsenal back four stepping up to leave Messi and Pedro offisde
  108. 11: This isn't the Barcelona that are tearing La Liga apart
  109. Arsenal's central midfielders, Song and Fabregas, are doubling up on Xavi
  110. 9: It's gettng warmer, suspicious chest from Abidal, may have used a hand on the edge of the box
  111. 8: Arsenal have started so positively here, they look relaxed and are enjoying the lions share of the play
  112. Just seen a replay of the v.Persie chance - Maxwell didn't have a clue what to do - this has to be exploited
  113. maybe Wenger will swich Nasri and Walcott around to keep the full-back's on thier toes
  114. 7: Barca don't look settled, they are struggling to get the passes off
  115. 6: Messi fouled by Alex Song - Song booked

  124. barca to kick off
  125. @sidlowe heard you on 5 live Sid, sounded strange not being on a grainy phone
  126. the teams are walking out
  127. Paul's personal opinion on tonight: Tight, but I back Arsenal to win 2-1
  128. last year, Barcelona scored both in the second half in the 2-2 draw that finished 6-3 on aggregate
  129. Barcelona starting XI: Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Abidal, Maxwell, Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta, Pedro, Messi, Villa.
  130. Arsenal starting XI: Szczesny, Eboue, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Song, Wilshere, Walcott, Fabregas, Nasri, van Persie
  131. 10 minutes until kick off at the Emirates
  132. @IanTaylor7 WhatAHitSonBlog thinks 2-1 Arsenal!
  133. What's the key to victory tonight for #AFC? Well, double up on Maxwell at left backl - Walcott could have a field day if he can unsettle him
  134. headlines: Nasri starts, Arshavin on the bench. Puyol out for Barca, Front three of Messi, Villa and Pedro
