I don't want to say this, but in the interest of Arsenal's
Ucl success over Barca, I want to say, if the
Ucl attacking quality of Barcelona's 4 players of, Suarez, Messi, Neymar and Rakitic will play for Barca against Arsenal in both 2 legged ties, the Boss MUST consider the possibility of upgrading the Arsenal's 2 CBs & DM position with 2 or 3 top quality new additions of a CB, DM and a striker to face Barca and knock them out of this

round after and could we do a Chelsea 2012.

While other teams are strengthening their squads to challenge for the

round of the
UCL.
City have a mission to dominate Europe while we are comfortable been where we are currently (1 trophy in 9 years and scrape through to

The important thing for us is give Wenger the support he need, though I don't think he deserves it; building a team all year long begs for questioning, loosing at 2nd
round stage of

Can't we remember we got disgraced in Europe with the worst result this season (10 - 2), 18 points behind Chelsea, top by spurs by 11 points, lost 4 matches by conceding 3 goals persistently, conceded 47 goals in EPL, lost out in 2nd
round of
UCL for 7 years consistently, which could still continue under Wenger».

We came second alright & it was joy galore... it's unfortunate, I'll sadly admit Arsenal now embraces mediocrity with top four finishes and second
round UCL exits as the norm whereas the Spuds keep improving.
