I have a feeling Arsenal will overturn the 4-0 deficit and qualify . I'm quite optimistic . If miracle happen , then it will happen tomorrow . Nothing is impossible . To get something you must first believe you will get it . Comme on gunners . You done it against Spurs . You done it against Liverpool . You can do it again .
DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
It's not negative to think we won't overturn a 4-0 deficit to the Italian champions.
Hopefully a red card appears for them, which will give us some hope.
However I do think that we should leave Theo on the bench, let him come on in the last 30 minutes or so, as he can snatch a couple of goals. If we're winning at half time by atleast 2-0 , we have a chance. Vital we don't concede however, but that is unlikely.
Sure it is not negative but giving up before the last whistle is blown is not positive either . we were beaten not because Milan was great but because we didin't turn up . Now , we have a chance to show what we can do when the odds are against us .Originally Posted by Marc Overmars

Yeah, a blessing in disguise you could say.
There's no chance we're winning the tie.
I'd be surprised if we even won the match.
We will win the game without doubt . The big question is to score more than they did . I don't rate the current AC Milan as the mighty Milan of 7 years ago . They are just a shadow of a tiger . We will beat them .

I'm pretty sure they don't rate us as the mighty Arsenal of 7 years ago either.
I thought we had no chance of winning but I was near certain we would beat them on the night. The Emirates is by no means a fortress but we end up taking these European teams quite easily when they go out of their comfort zone. I thought - realistically - 3-1 win; keep the winning momentum going and lets violate Pardew's bunch of overachieving chancers on the weekend. 0% chance of winning the tie, 90% chance of winning on the night.
However, after reading about Wenger's pre-match conference today, it turns out we have no central midfield and so we are forced to play about 4 attackers. What's more is that Wenger seems unusually bitter about this and after the wins against Tottenham and Liverpool, the pressure has eased somewhat. i.e. people won't boo at the final whistle even if we do lose. So he wants to give it a go and our players will play without pressure. One of those players is Robin Van Persie. Oxlade Chamberlain will have full licence to play his greedy little pot-shot game. If we are leading 1-0 at half time, and then grab an early goal in the second half - they'll be bricking it, as every European team to come to our gaff in the knock-outs has done in recent years. Even Barcelona. We make that physical advantage in the second half count. But just getting to half-time 1-0 up is a lot to ask without a central midfield. An early slip by Djourou, they grab a goal and its game over before it started. So now I'm thinking: 1% chance of winning the tie, 50% chance of winning on the night.
I'm glad Wenger is playing his available best team though. It is a matter of principle. These players fucked up in Milan and they deserve to go through the humiliating ordeal of running around for a lost cause for 80 minutes when Milan do get their early goal.
The second best case scenario is that we bow out gracefully, 3-1 or 4-1, with RVP taken off without any injury, allowing us to focus on finishing above spurs.
...The best case scenario is that we beat Milan 5-4 and go on to win the champions league.
There's optimistic, and there's *optimistic*
