Fantastic - some may know I am a typical Northerner but I was off the chair and up in the air when the 2nd went in - brilliant :D

Sadly I can't argue with that Ian - even at 1-0 down I thought they did well - superb win in the end. As soon as it was pulled back to Arshavin, I was 100% sure it was heading into row Z...

I have never watched Wilshere for a full game where he is very involved - he looked really really good.

Only criticism - Walcott was on fire for 15 minutes and then disappeared - must be a nightmare for a manager.

Should be a cracking return leg - if Arsenal can knock them out then Man Utd can go on and win it  ;)

Two great teams playing fantastic football..
And to win after being 1 nil down was amazing.
Thats how the game should be played.

One of the best nights ever at the Arsenal. The crowd was elsctric and I have never seen them so up for a match.The atmosphere was even better than the real battles with Man Utd in the Keane era or the derby with Spurs. The Gunners supporters very rarely show their true feelings but they did against Barca. Very difficult night for me as Barca are my second team. I wish I could get a ticket for the Nou Camp and no matter about the outcome it is going to be great night.

Going to see the Gunners is one of the few advantages of living in the UK rather than Turkey offers me.

Does that mean that you don't believe that Man Utd. is capable of beating Barcelona, Ian??  ;): :)
