    The campaign has been embarrassing enough, we need to play the best team we can and at the very least give ourselves a fighting chance of going through.

    Then there is also the prospect of the Europa League and whether it's worth qualifying for that...

    Added to the fact it will probably be our highest profile game of the season at the Emirates and one that doesn't come cheap for fans. Two games against Bayern was the only exciting thing to come from our group draw, so to undermine ourselves and stick two fingers up at excited fans wanting to see us pitted against the best around would take the piss.

    As for the Europa League, the format is crap but it's something we shouldn't look down our noses at. A few years back we would've been happy beating Brum to win the League Cup. A Europa is certainly more distinguishable than the FA Cup in the modern game. Some very good teams have won the trophy over the years and Chelsea didn't look too depressed when they won it recently. Added to the fact we haven't won a thing in Europe for 20 years and our overall history is pretty poor there. That has to change if the club want to be taken seriously as an 'elite' club. I don't think a Thurs/Sun split is any different to a Weds/Sat game and I think there is only one more round of games than the CL. Wenger hasn't won a thing in Europe and should value this competition. If he puts out a weaker team against Bayern and we do end up in the Europa, then I think it's safe to say he won't.

    What's the criteria for qualifying for the Europa League? We have to avoid this at all costs. We can kiss our season goodbye if we end up in that joke of a tournament. Thursday night trips to Timbuktu, we'll be fucked.

    Finishing third in the group puts us into the Europa.

    None of the permutations look good for us. Only way out is to beat Bayern. Therefore only option is to pick the strongest team. If he picks Ospina again then fuck that shit.

    I think pitch invasions are the kind of things nit wit scum
    Bags who should be banned for life do, however if we rest Cech, Ozil or Sanchez for this game than I think it could be justified

    Apparently Robben is not playing

    This doubles our chances, not because he's a good player (which he is) but because he's a fucking scumbag cheat.

    We are playing with confidence, so this could go one of two ways... we can go out blitz them like we did United or Bayern school us and we are all glum again. I actually think we are going to going win this. Wenger always gets win when it absolutely matters achieving the bare minimum. 2-1 Sanchez double.

    Only selection who to play up front Theo or Giroud... I would go Theo.

    Our defence has got to be absolutely amazing for us to win this.

    If we can keep a clean sheet then we have a chance.

    We will lose though 0-2.
