Champions League 2017/2018

[Master Splinter]

These teams are finally catching up to Arsenal. Cruising through the group stages and occasionally beating some big-name teams along the way. Does that mean Arsenal have been winning the Premature Group Stage Championship for the last 47 years Wenger has been here?

Does this also cement Manchester United as the best team in the galaxy as they just beat world champions Tottenham at the weekend? I mean if we're jumping to over-emotional and senseless conclusions this early in the season, that's the biggest one so far.

Actually, Huddersfield may dispute that particular title.

Madrid you useless shitbags

Napoli 2-4 Man City, Sterling.

Sunday could be a bit grim.

They are the real deal now, it’s taken them a while but they are playing at a really high level now. They are going to take us to the cleaners on Sunday, it’s going to be brutal.

If they thrash us, they thrash us, just one more beating in a long line of beatings we can sweep under the carpet and pretend never happened when we've won a few consecutive end of season matches.

I don't think there's much worse than having to face a Guardiola team that knows what they're doing.

It's a horrid experience watching it.

Us against Barca in the opening 20 minutes in 2010.

Was that when we couldn't touch the ball for 20+ minutes but ended up with a 2-2 draw somehow? If so Barca should have been about 7 up by 20 mins, Wenger got lucky.

[Cripps]

They'll be talking about this bloody night for years now

'That night at Wembley where they beat Real Madrid!'

Aye, I’m numb to it all to be honest. I’ve given up caring. The sad thing is we know what to expect.

That's where I am, not in the least bit excited about these big matches, says it all really. In 2005 we dreamt about competing with the best sides in Europe, signing the best players and winning league titles and the Champions league, instead we got this shower of sh*t.

Arsenal

Yep, I can remember that Barca game, it was painful being put through that 20 minutes.

Yeah I think Sunday’s game will be similar to the Bayern Arsenal games when Pep was there. You kind of know we’ll score against a decent Pep team but you also know that his teams offense will tear our defence to pieces!
