Arsenal v Bayern, 20 October 19:45 kick off

For the sake of sanity, we need to lose this. Anything other than last place in the group is a shot in the heart for us. Just get this bothersome tournament out of the way and make a decent push for the league title. My only hope is that we dont get humiliated in the games.

I don't see why we are so snooty about the Wafer cup..... I know it takes about 38 games to win it but I think we are banking on winning the league a little too much and we have only got near winning the CL once in near enough 20 years.

Take the games seriously and let the chips drop where they may. If we end up in the avoidatallcosts cup, then that is our level. Moreover we've never won it and it give us a place back in the nevergoingtowinit cup if we do.

1-0

:scarf:

We're owed a big night at the Emirates. The last one was when, Barcelona, 4 and a half years ago?

I think we'll do it tonight, 3-2 - depending on the team picked of course.

I think we'll get a result as well, probably not a clean a sheet though.

2-1 or 2-2.

This is where we could have done with that top tier striker. I'd be confident going into this with Henry in his prime up front. Don't think Bayern will be too nervous about Theo and Bif.

Really hope Wenger picks Gabriel ahead of Merts for this. The thought of Merts struggling against Lewandowski, Goetze and Costa cannot bear thinking.
Its not just a myth. Merts is Sloooooow.

Gabriel had an op last I heard. Doubt he'll be back for a while.

Wenger said Gabriel is fine for the game

Theo they might be. I remember Barca being pretty worried about his pace years back. It all depends on what Theo shows up - not just in terms of work ethic but competency wise. It's all well and good scaring their back line with speed but if his control has gone to shit or if his aim is off, then we'll just waste prime chances you can't afford to against this sort of opposition.
