From Barca, to Leyton Orient. Complacency is key.

I can't believe it. Still buzzing from the Barcelona game. It really does feel we are on the verge of something special. Like, er Barcelona special. I forgot to mention yesterday that we beat Barcelona when they played brilliantly. Some task. For all the stats about passing, how many of them were key? They had a lot of tippy tappy passes, whilst our passing was more creative. And I'd take that all day long.

With all due respect to Leyton Orient, we have a massive bump back down to earth. We've just taken Megan Fox out on a date, and now our second date is with Kerry Katona. Brutal, and not pretty at all.

Despite being a League One team, they will be massively up for it. They will be heavily backed by their team, and the players will want to put on a show for their fans. However, whatever team we put out, we should triumph through to the next round.

If we carry on the confidence from Wednesday night, which we should, we should see a high scoring game heavily in our favour. If we think ''oh it's only Leyton Orient'' then there could be trouble.

Having said that, the players will be wanting to keep the Barca result fresh in everyones mind, and if we win on Sunday, then by in large the Orient game will not be big news.

I suspect players like Squillaci, Denilson, Diaby, Gibbs and Chamakh to be involved. And it gives them a great chance to stake a claim for more opportunities in the bigger game. Watching Arsenal beat Barca (Love saying that) surely drives the players on to be involved in such occasions.

The game is on ESPN on Sunday at Half 4 in the UK. I just hope the game doesn't involve any ''pelanties'' and that ''Arzil'' win.

Thanks for reading, have a bloody good weekend!
