Champions League Last 16 Draw (14/12/15 11am GMT).

No chance of going through of course but it should be a fun tie.

Should be good to watch Neymar is a brilliant player and Suarez despite being a bag o shite is top player, they're better to watch then before as they have better attackers.

With everyone expecting us to get mopped, I think the players will play out of their skins for this tie as they usually do when counted out in such a way.

We'll do ok at home I reckon, Barca will dominate but we'll get a goal or two against the run of play and then people will suddenly believe we're the best thing since sliced bread, we'll then get thumped away however and come back to earth with a bump.

Then we'll falter in the league if we're still in with a chance.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. All that matters now is that we have a real go. I'm guessing the first leg is at the Emirates. Would be great if we got a win or draw before going to the Camp Nou. If we lose the first leg might as well send the kids to have a fun day in Spain for the return.

I'm going to look at this as karma for ballsing up the plum draw last year. You can't get that lucky twice.

Wasn't that much fun to be fair, we made a right pig's ear of the group stage and managed to turn it around but it should have been much more comfortable that it was.

Yeah best thing we can do is give it a go, but we all know that we're out of this, we can just watch this for entertainment value and a possible hard luck story at the end if we're lucky.

Arsenal v Barcelona.

Mother dick.

Textbook. Ah well, it'll be fun watching it...possibly.

The thing is no one actually thinks we will win this competition and if we did we'd have to beat Bayern, Real or Barca to do so.

Apart from fixture congestion which we don't need what difference is losing to teams like Barca in the last sixteen or the semi final.

We got the easy draw last season and couldn't be bothered to take the first leg seriously so there you go.

I'd rather face someone like Barca tbh. We'll almost certainly get knocked out but there's no disgrace there. We could do without the extra games and it will be 2 interesting games.
At our best we can give them a game.

No disgrace no, but the fact we can predict that we're out whenever this happens IS a disgrace, teams like Liverpool, Chelsea etc have upset the odds in the past and yet we never seem to be able to.

No team is unbeatable, it kinda depends how much you want something as teams have shown in the past and we use to as well (under George Graham as an example), we never want it enough or play like a team that really believes they can upset the odds, so naturally we can knocked out.

The heroic exit.

As is the norm, even against teams like Monaco.
