Did Di Matteo bring on Kalou and Bosingwa so you could say you beat Barca with them playing?

Lol it won't be easy for Barca to beat us at the Nou Camp. They never score more than 2 against us in our recent meetings there.

Drogba
After what happened where he (imho) was justified in losing the plot, his goal was the difference tonight!

Di Matteo the caretaker, just a few managers could beat Barca in CL.
Cole, Cahill, Terry, Lampard ... played their best game this season.

I didn't think you'd get a spanking
shame on any arsenal fan that said such a thing, other fans made the same noises when we were due to play them last year
