Of course the big advantage of coming second in the group is

I think we will do okay tonight.

There, I have said it.

Good man.

We're going to get gubbed though.

It's going to be a extremely difficult task for us to beat Bayern over 2 legs.

Plus if it goes to extra time in the 2nd leg they get even longer to score away goals which I absolutely hate that rule.

It seems unfair after 2 x 90 minute periods that one team should have an advantage for 30 mins.

There, I have said it.

:nod: we may even get an away goal.

3-1 Bayern.

[Pat Vegas]

There, I have said it.

:nod: as long as we can get some away goals.

We're going to win the whole thing, SW. And instead of going out on a high Wenger will sign an extension and be called a **** for the next two years.

[Sir C]

Good man.

:nod: A proper, proper spanking.

That is the way of things. One cannot argue with Nature.

If we win the CL Wenger can stay forever imo and finish 4th every single season thereafter. :cloud9:

:nod: Lose by enough goals that we're definitely out, but not by so many that we can't get enough goals back in the second leg to get agonisingly close. That's tradition.

Bayern 1 Arsenal 2
(Müller/Sanchez, Walcott)

It's like a short version of our title push each season.

I will throw this out there.

Bellerin will score tonight.

Bellerin will score tonight.

Should have done on Saturday :(

[IUFG]

Walcott keeps his place in the team? After his latest anonymous performance on Saturday?

His ineffectiveness was magnificent.


unless he comes on a sub, of course...

:cry: I want Lucas

[IUFG]

he certainly did more in his 10 minute cameo than Feo did from the start...

Injuredy. Again.

[IUFG]

How many Diabys is he out for?

[Pat Vegas]

Injuredy. Again.

:hehe: Wenger kicked him the ankle.

'congratulation you are picked' then he kicked him.

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

How many Diabys is he out for?

2-3, probably.

I still think playing the home leg 1st is or should provide a slightly bigger advantage.....

A home tie only provides an advantage of any sort when you concede no goals. I am not convinced it being first or second really makes a difference.

[Norn Iron]

Please can we not capitulate and give ourselves a chance in the second leg. 1-1 or even a 2-1 loss would be fine

[SWv2]

Setting your sights high there Norn.

Purely for clarification a 1-1 draw does not constitute avoiding capitulation, it would in fact be a fúcking tremendous outcome. Less so when Bayern score after 7 minutes in the return leg.

Your first point is exactly it however, when you concede that home goal(s) is crucial. 0-0 into extra time or 35th minute in the 1st leg.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

I have a good feeling about tonight. I really don't know why.

[Sir C]

I have a good feeling about tonight. I really don't know why.

Are you on a promise, m?

[Mo Britain less Europe]

What sort of promise?

[Sir C]

What sort of promise?

You know. A bit of slap and tickle. Conjugals. Sexytime, man.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

All the time is sexytime when I'm around, C.
