One of the best players in history retired today...

Bit of an inauspicious ending to his career but, at his peak, he was absolutely amazing.

That kick was amazing.

Nasty!

Good win for Spurs today. Now, if Arsenal can just represent for the EPL and beat Barca tomorrow, the round of 16 will be off to an ideal start. Probably won't happen though.

Great second half of football today in the Spurs-Milan game. Gattuso is so fun to watch. Dude has some serious issues.

Tomorrow is going to be fun. I'm hoping Guardiola comes out with a full strength side in an attempt to get the victory. I have seen too many away teams play for the draw in the first leg. Especially with the likeliness that Eboue starts at RB, Barcelona can bury them in the first leg with the shakiness of the Arsenal defense. Only person that scares me tomorrow is Walcott. He gave Barcelona several struggles last year.

Barca/Arsenal today...who ya got? Going with Barca FTW.

I'm apprehensive in predicting a win. Guardiola might play for the draw like he did last year in London.

Hoping Arsenal wins, but also know that it's unlikely. Barca is clearly the better of the two teams.

Barca up 1-0 at half. Wish I could be watching it.

Arsenal looked to be the better early but Barca has taken over in the last 30 of the first half.

No tears here. Good win Barcelona.

have to say, this was one prediction I was happy to get wrong. Sorry Barca.

We got what we deserved there. We made the same mistake as last year's first leg. You can't abandon the philosophy the entire club is built behind. We stopped trying to attack and thats why we lost the game. And the fact that Valdes was absolutely horrific on the two goals. I see why he will never be seriously considered to get meaningful cap for Spain.

Any day that Barca loses is a good day in my book but I'd still be shocked if they didn't go through after the 2nd leg.

I'll be shocked if we don't.

Looks like it was a good finish. Just the first leg, though. Barca will be alright.

Can't wait to watch Man. U and Marseille next week

Good job Arsenal. Now go ahead and score a road goal or two...

I definitely think he's the best goal scorer of my lifetime.
