Start of this thread is a classic case of FFS
You dont have to as stupidly optimistic as say myself or even Ollie (sorry Ol mate) or put yourself through the emotional/finacial strain of attending a game but surely we cab give ourselves a chance? ?
The team is having a meltdown, admitted and the wheels of my Wenger Knows bandwagon are really coming loose but I still feel that we are not as shit as what people make out, though we are also not as good as what I make out at times too! :sad:
Don't mind who we get, we're going to get knocked out anyway.
Of the 16 teams left. We are probably the worst. Of the teams we could actually face, we are definitely worse. No chance I`m afraid. The only good thing is our season and budget are not predicated on progressing beyond this stage. We are in good shape.

I'd fancy us against PSG or Malaga, the others not so much.Of the teams we could actually face, we are definitely worse.
I wouldnt fancy our kamikaze defending against Ibra or our tepid midfield against Malaga. When we had good teams we usually went out at this stage so what is the basis for the optimism now except maybe just optimism itself. When the draw comes out I would like to see letters put 20 at the bookies on us getting to the next round. No point waving the flag on an internet forum.
What a stupid post, well the last bit is.
I reckon we'd have a decent chance against the two sides I've mentioned. That doesn't mean I'd put money on it.
If we're going down that route why don't all the people who think we've no chance put their life savings on us losing.
None of us really know, Arsenal have been erratic at best this season. But it's not a foregone conclusion that we're going out whoever we draw.

Time will tell who is optimistic and who is realistic
PS we have not been erratic this season.....We have been consistently bad. As we have been for a long while
Malaga will likely be weakened during January, Spanish football is teetering on the edge as it is, let alone with how Malaga is being run.
I imagine players have been payed at Malaga now but Pellegrini has not been (at least not consistently).
Fixtures in Feb? We will be out of everything, no chance of 4th, we need to win to get in next year-we will respond to the pressure*

Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
Kompany said we're the best team he's faced this season, we were good up at City.
We were good at Anfield.
More recently, we played well against Montpellier - especially 2nd half.
There's been more bad than good but we did enough to qualify from our group, we wouldn't have done if we'd been consistently bad.
