Patrick Vieira says he is not surprised that fate has conspired to take him back to Highbury.

The Juventus enforcer will return to North London at the end of March after Arsenal were paired with the Bianconeri in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals.

He admitted that it will be an emotional occasion, but added that his concentration will be focused purely on beating his former paymasters.

"At times fate can surprise you," he confessed, "but I had a feeling this might happen.

"Obviously it will be a very personal challenge for me, particularly to go back to Highbury as [a member of] the opposition.

"But, putting my emotions aside, I can only think about the fact that we have to win."

im a little worried about playing Arsenal, we are terrible when we play English sides and they have a good record against Italians.

Also, how will our slow defence cope with the pace of Henry and Ljunberg?

I know exactly how you feel mate, I'm going to have to go into solitary confinement for a couple of months if we go out against the Gunners.

Oh the shame. :frown2::sigh:

Its different this time.. Vieira can help Juve break them down. Vieira knows their gameplay, he knows the players and can exploit their weaknesses. I think Arsenal would not have wanted to face us for this very reason. But you never never know in football. Anything can happen.

    Vieira would defntly be our inside man on the gooners game style...
    arsene wenger knows his stuff, he can change formation & tactics if necessary unlike capello, who would actually see that the team is in dire need of subs but would stick to his beloved zlatan.

    we should win it, but give the gunners a whole lot more respect.

    Ever seen a real life one man band? ........No! Well go to Highbury on a saturday afternoon then you will. They should change the Name Arsenal Football Club To Thierry Henry Football club. It just seems to be him doing everything. What will you be like without him?? Hope you dont get 4th place neither.

    Happy days!

    Arsenal has a lot of very talented , fast and young players who are hungry for success. They have no chance to win the league so they will be very motivated in the cl.
