had it been barcelona,i would've been happy,had it been milan,i would've been happy,had it been inter,i would've probably danced naked on the streets,but there is something about facing arsenal that gives me the sick feeling that they'll knock us out.on paper,we own them,but on the other hand,i dont think there's any team in europe rite now more determined than arsenal.needless to say,this tie has 'liverpool vs juventus 04/05' written all over it.and yes,we could argue that history doesnt repeat itself everytime,but there is something about arsenal that doesnt make me too confident ahead of the tie.
im usually very optimistic,but this tie took out every inch of optimism from my body when i heard about it.dont get me wrong,i would love to see juventus go past arsenal like any other fan,and we CAN get past them too.but i dunno,i dont think we will.we have the ablilty,we have the players,but i dont think we'll be able to knock arsenal over.and i absoloutley loath myself for saying that.
goodbye champions league.
