    You and I both know with 100% certainty that Bayern will score so we will need to score 5 to their 1 in order to even get it to extra-time. I am not sure this will happen.

    However if we do then they also have the added advantage of being able to surpass our 1 away goal thus rendering our task more difficult.

    Finally, to not overlook how inferior we are to them both footballistically and in respect of the great intangible mental strength. Yes, that gem.

    Probably the finest away performance I saw at Highbury in the CL also.

    This is worse than a dead rubber, it's cold humiliation. I know we contrived a heroic and moderatly entertaining failure to claw back three of the four against Meelan, but they were Italians. They had no idea how to defend a four goal lead, and didn't get their act together until our third. It won't happen again, and we will get double-gubbed.

    I will of course attend out of duty but am a little bit not looking forward to it.
    Imagine if we score in the second minute, then in the 10th, Hummels pulls Sanchez down when he';s clean through- penalty and a red card!

    We'd miss the pelanty and lose 1-2
