Arsenal have no reason to fear Bayern Munich after drawing the German giants in the last 16 of the Champions League, according to ex-Gunners star John Hartson.
However, Hartson is convinced that Arsene Wenger’s side can overcome the Bavarians, and feels that the Gunners are capable of beating any side in Europe on their day.
"It's a tough draw for Arsenal but they have no reason to fear Bayern,” Hartson told Goal.com.
“I think they will just be happy that they avoided Barcelona for what would have been a third meeting in four years.
"Arsenal have a fantastic record in Europe being the only club to have qualified for the last 13 knockout stages. People forget just how consistent they are in European competition.
“It's not fair on Arsene [Wenger] that everyone seems to want to put them down on the domestic stage when things aren't always going their way."
Despite being confident for his former side ahead of the tie, Hartson acknowledges that Bayern will be a tough proposition, and feels that the four-times champions of Europe should have added to their haul last season, when they lost in the final of the competition to Chelsea on penalties.
"In my opinion Bayern should have won the trophy last season,” he said. “Chelsea were very fortunate. I think Bayern had 18 corners to Chelsea's one and, of course, the Germans missed a penalty before the shoot-out.
“They are a traditionally a very experienced European side and, like all German teams, are mentally strong. German football is flying just now with three of them winning their Champions League groups.
"But none of that will worry Arsenal. They are very capable of beating Bayern over two legs and a lot can happen between now and February. Arsenal are inconsistent but on their day they are capable of beating anyone in Europe."
Good article that, good find sir Ach.
Cant take the credit for it

Bob :lol: Wenger deserves all he getsQuote:
Former Arsenal star Bob Wilson has hit out at the club’s fans and the media for giving grief to Arsene Wenger this season.
The Gunners have struggled to hit top form so far and are currently 15 points behind leaders Manchester United.
But, following calls for the Frenchman to exit the Emirates, the legendary goalkeeper feels Wenger doesn’t deserve the harsh treatment - especially in a week where they beat Reading 5-2 and signed five young British stars, including Alex Oxlade-chamberlain to new contracts.
He told the Weekend Sports Breakfast: “They are in great shape as a business but it upsets me when, even the other night, some fans were shouting for Arsene to see that his time was up.
“And what really upsets me is the vitriol that some of the media have directed in his direction. He doesn’t deserve that.”

Robson back to being spot onQuote:
Stewart Robson believes Arsene Wenger is using the board’s lack of transfer activity to mask his own tactical failings.
The Gunners boss said on Monday night, after the 5-2 victory against Reading, that the club's move to the Emirates Stadium has severely reduced the amount of money available for transfers.
“After we built the new stadium, we have had restricted potential financially,” he said. “Hopefully now we can be a bit more convincing.”
I think Wenger’s under a bit of pressure and he’s deflecting the blame onto the board
— Stewart Robson
But former Highbury favourite Robson insists the Frenchman has always had money to spend and that those comments are a diversionary tactic.
“I’m used to Arsene Wenger contradicting himself,” he told Hawksbee and Jacobs. “I think he’s under a bit of pressure and he’s deflecting the blame onto the board.
“There’s been money to spend for quite some while but he hasn’t always spent it wisely.
“My problem is not with spending it, it never has been. Arsenal aren’t at the top of the Premier League because they haven’t spent enough money.
“It’s because tactically Arsene Wenger hasn’t been very good, that’s why they haven’t challenged in the league for the last three or four years.
“I have to wonder whether Arsene Wenger understands the tactical part of the game. When things go wrong he always says the players are tired or that they didn’t play at the right tempo. I don’t think he ever gets to the bottom of why they don’t played well. It’s just general throwaway comments.”

Let's see, he worked for the club that suggests he knows better than most what's going on, we all know the club just outright lie.
really? he just commented on games, its like asking the people who print the names on shirts at the shop if they have any inside info. he doesnt, they dont. he just speaks bollocks to get his name in the papers,Quote:

she was here before wenger came anyway, so he couldn't care less
if she makes 3 cups of tea by saturday she'll be the best tea lady in the league.
Yes it will certainly show her quality, spirit and mental strength that's for sure.Quote:

He's got views on the club based on what he saw and he's entitled to them, the fact he's seen what's gone on inside the club gives him an advantage over the average joe though.
You call them "shots", let's face it though he's not far wrong about Wenger, everything he says seems to be very believable, why do people discredit the view of someone just because it's not what they want to hear?

he hasnt seen what goes on at the club because he worked as a commentator. he didnt go to training, all he did was go to games and talk into a microphone. he has fuck all inside knowledge because he didnt go to the training. he worked in the media, he went to the media events nothing else. its like saying the guy who runs the arsenal twitter account has inside knowledge just because he works for the club. its bollocks, stewart robson speaks because he feels like the world actually wants to listen to what stewart robson saysQuote:

Don't get me wrong, he is a **** but he does make good points when talking about Wenger and the board etc. However he does tend to slag of the club when he can, may not be obvious but he does.Quote:

How do you know what he did and didn't see, I would think an employee in his position would have access to all kinds of things, who's to say he didn't go and watch training from time to time?Quote:

You dont have to be an insider at the club to say what he has.
Its clear to everyone Wenger is a little bit clueless tactically
I don't know too much about the guy, I'm just looking at what he said in that article and it all seems very feasible to me, the tactics, well we know Wenger isn't a great tactician we see it from one match to another.Quote:
