[Marc Overmars]

A fair few decent teams in there. Hopefully we get one of them.

[Marc Overmars]

We’ve got AC Milan! :popcorn:

First leg away.

I know they’re a bit shit now but then so are we. Should be fun.

[Ralpheroo72]

Borini will fuck us up

[dostoy]

That is the end of that then.

Get the fuck out Wenger you senile old bastard.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're out.

[selassie]

We're out.

Yep, we'll screw this up, I'm pretty sure of it.

[GP]

Good draw!

Looking forward to it!

[KSE Comedy Club]

The good news is we will have no chance of CL football next season so Wenger wil be sacked!

:jumpnana: :cheer: :woohoo: :scarf: :good: :wave: :pray: :fingers: :dancingman:

[Özim]

Two rubbish teams playing each other, at least one of them has spent some decent money despite having lower revenue.

Should be interesting.

If only it was that easy.

About 9 months ago we knew that Arsenal would have no CL football and Wenger got a new 2 year deal.

The battle of the banter clubs

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Good draw!

Looking forward to it!

Me too...it's like a CL tie of several years ago! Though if they beat us 5-1 my excitement will quickly evaporate.

[AFC Leveller]

Even if we do get through, the likes of Atletico, Dortmund, Lazio and one of the Russian clubs will knock us out, they are all better coached sides.

4-0 :doh:

Then RVP trying to chip the keeper from point blank in the 2ng leg at 3-0 :doh:

Your ability to remember individual catastrophes is quite remarkable. Been so many its one long epic fail for me.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

lol indeed.

I actually wasn't referring to a specific game, just the fact two teams with a history of playing in the CL are facing off in the Europa.

The 5-1 was a reference to the fact Bayern have practically burned that scoreline into my brain.

[Marc Overmars]

I remember vividly because we were so bad in the San Siro. It was probably then I realised we didn’t really have much business being in the CL anymore. The start of the string of first leg defeats...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 :doh:

Then RVP trying to chip the keeper from point blank in the 2ng leg at 3-0 :doh:

The 3-0 game is the Ox in midfield game. :bow:

That ended well.

[Marc Overmars]

The game where he dominated Ambrosini and Pirlo...

Woy. :bow:

[Cripps]

Are AC Milan any good?

[selassie]

Are AC Milan any good?

No they are average like us. Despite that, on paper we have a far better team than them, if we turn up we should have enough quality to knock them out over 2 legs. This tie will require a full strength team for both legs though.

Milan are quite a tactical team and are quite strong defensively.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Their manager also puts the fear of God into them ..... but Fabio Borini's name doesn't exactly strike fear, but he's done alright for them recently and we are more than capable of switching off and half arsing it around the pitch against any side.
