    The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus or, inaccurately, koala bear[a]) is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae, and its closest living relatives are the wombats.[3] The koala is found in coastal areas of the mainland's eastern and southern regions, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. It is easily recognisable by its stout, tailless body; round, fluffy ears; and large, spoon-shaped nose. The koala has a body length of 60–85 cm (24–33 in) and weighs 4–15 kg (9–33 lb). Pelage colour ranges from silver grey to chocolate brown. Koalas from the northern populations are typically smaller and lighter in colour than their counterparts further south. It is possible that these populations are separate subspecies, but this is disputed.

    Koalas typically inhabit open eucalypt woodlands, and the leaves of these trees make up most of their diet. Because this eucalypt diet has limited nutritional and caloric content, koalas are largely sedentary and sleep for up to 20 hours a day. They are asocial animals, and bonding exists only between mothers and dependent offspring. Adult males communicate with loud bellows that intimidate rivals and attract mates. Males mark their presence with secretions from scent glands located on their chests. Being marsupials, koalas give birth to underdeveloped young that crawl into their mothers' pouches, where they stay for the first six to seven months of their life. These young koalas are known as joeys, and are fully weaned at around a year. Koalas have few natural predators and parasites but are threatened by various pathogens, like Chlamydiaceae bacteria and the koala retrovirus, as well as by bushfires and droughts.

    Koalas were hunted by indigenous Australians and depicted in myths and cave art for millennia. The first recorded encounter between a European and a koala was in 1798, and an image of the animal was published in 1810 by naturalist George Perry. Botanist Robert Brown wrote the first detailed scientific description of the koala in 1814, although his work remained unpublished for 180 years. Popular artist John Gould illustrated and described the koala, introducing the species to the general British public. Further details about the animal's biology were revealed in the 19th century by several English scientists. Because of its distinctive appearance, the koala is recognised worldwide as a symbol of Australia. Koalas are listed as of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The Australian government lists populations in Queensland and New South Wales as Vulnerable. The animal was hunted heavily in the early 20th century for its fur, and large-scale cullings in Queensland resulted in a public outcry that initiated a movement to protect the species. Sanctuaries were established, and translocation efforts moved to new regions koalas whose habitat had become fragmented or reduced. The biggest threat to their existence is habitat destruction caused by agriculture and urbanisation

    For some reason, i believe we can get a result tonight, we're playing a team that havent played a decent opponent for months, last time they played a good team was City back in december and lost (tho' they're were already through and it meant nothing), the last time they meet a decent team in their league was all the way back in beginning of oct. and they drawed (vs leverkusen), not counting the dortmund team they beat in november, who were missing like 6 players, including their entire back 4 and had to hire an old guy without a contract to even be able to put a defence on the field :D

    I still believe that Bayern are probably the best team in the world, but if we ever had a chance of beating them, now is the time.

    By getting ready for the match, do you mean looking at himself in the mirror whilst he messes around with the zip on his coat?

    Ofcourse he will. We know it, the media knows it & Bayern know it. Its the best news ever for the opposing manager. He can concentrate on attack & let his full backs loose in the knowledge that we may offer 1 or 2 threats in each half. If we do this, we simply play into their hands. They have far too much quality to defend against & we DONT have defensive midfielders.

    i never look forward to big Arsenal matches, my favourite part of these kind of matches is hearing the final whistle (that is if we have won or at least got a favourable draw). This won't be any exception even though i really don't have any expectation of this tie, can we progress against Bayern?....yes, will we?...probably not. If we get a good result tonight, it won't be like the match we had last time in Munich they will absolutely bulldoze into us from the first minute and it will be difficult to see us holding on for 90 minutes.
    I think the most feasible way we can get past them is by winning by two clear goals and a clean sheet tonight (2-0 home wins are kind of our forte) and getting a narrow defeat or score draw in Germany.....i think the task would be incredibly difficult but not impossible....what goes for us is that we don't have to contend with a pacey front man in the starting XI....i think our defence can cope with the aerial threat posed by Mandzukic (don't rate him to be honest...definitley their weak line). I think their danger man for us will be Thomas Muller

    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    I don't normally dream about football but I dreamt we killed them early; couldn't remember the score line but it was something like 3-0 in no time. So there you go.

    Wait. Watch. See. It's not about this game, we'll win it easily. It's about not throwing it away due to complacency when we go to Germany.
