That’s what friends are for

,Just a few hours to go until kickoff in Paris and everyone has an opinion or hope on who’ll win. Former France and Barcelona player Laurent Blanc has been giving his views on the game to SkySports.

He says, ‘I think Barca are the big favourites but I think that Arsenal have a good chance to win the game because they [Barcelona] don’t like the characteristics of a game like that of Arsenal.’ Sounds good Laurent, that’s what I want to hear.

He goes on ‘I hope, if Barca win, I’ll be happy because I played there. But, if Arsenal win, I’ll be very happy because of my friends Thierry Henry and Robert Pires. Then there’s Flamini and Arsene Wenger, a lot of Frenchmen’.

Don’t worry Laurent, this is the time to show your true colours, so borrow one of Thierry’s shirts and give the boys a cheer tonight.
