Wenger with an upbeat pep-talk before our European campaign kicks off.

'We don't calculate that this is a way to qualify for the Champions League,' Wenger said at a Wednesday press conference ahead of Cologne.

'It is not the best chance but one of the opportunities. I came out many times saying the best way to do it is the top four of the Premier League.'

That's the spirit. Actually winning a European is not as important as coming 4th so we can qualify to play in Europe.

Bloke gives me a headache.

I hope they can get the right vetinary and vaccination records to bring Hennes VIII through customs

Watching him take a malicious shit on the touch lines will be more interesting than the game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The best way of qualifying for it is winning the league I'd have thought.

[Marc Overmars]

Gotta have that top 4 trophy! It's the holy grail.

BT have us on Sports 2 tomorrow, with the main channel reserved for...

Neverton

Bit like Sky and the CL. Remember when we were playing Utd on Sports 1 and you had to switch to Sports 2 every time we got the ball?

[Xhaka Can’t]

BT never show live European football on 1. Reason being you used to get 1 free with your internet sub and if you wanted to watch European matches you had to subscribe to the other channels.

In short, you are right that BT are cunts.

They're just not cunts for the reason you think they're cunts.

[Dicks and chicks]

Really glad we are not in the CL anymore , no way we can compete with most the teams there. At least here we have a shot, I hope Wenger takes it seriously this is his last chance at a trophy

Bottles were thrown and flares lit but there was no significant disorder

What do they count as significant disorder? Driving panzer tanks down the Mall?

[Marc Overmars]

I saw plenty of them on my lunch break today, I did wonder just how many of them had made the trip. 20,000 though

Got to love German supporters.
