Messi sends shot across the bow.

Lays down gauntlet.

Warning to Sol: Mind your pace.

Shout to Silvestre: Don’t bring your heavy boots.

I honestly don’t like the prospect of either of them tracking Messi in his current form.

Quite simply, they haven’t got the pace for it.

Give me the younger lads. Vermaelen, to be sure, but let Alex Song have a run-out in central defense, and let Denilson keep up his scoring. We need Diaby, Cesc, Nasri, and Arshavin to be on top form.

Rabbits in his blood… ? I LOLed at that.

It will be the match of the season no doubt.

Well, I did the prediction table and have United pipping us by a point! Damnit Jim!

I am pretty pleased about getting Barcelona. If anything, it should be an incredible spectacle. I expect Bordeaux to be better than what people are saying and beat Lyon and Utd to get beaten by Inter in the final. I can’t see Barca or Arsenal navigating Inter.

A very good post. Esp. the Sol sub plot. If this were a movie of hollywood style then it would follow Sols journey from his Gooner signing, working up to the emotional break down at West Ham back in the day.

There would be a long scene of him looking into the mirrow and sweeling music, that goal v Barca and end with him scoring the winner from a corner in the final minute this time round.

Of course, he has to get through West Ham today first… Lock the exits, that boy has rabbit in his blood.
