I can't stop thinking about us winning the CL this year.

I've got a sneaky feeling we can do it.

You've fucking flipped Alf, Wenger is a naive fool who will be ass raped by the first tactically astute manager we meet.

CL? Not gonna happen. We wouldn't beat Madrid, Barca, Bayern, or Chelsea, over two legs. Maybe Atlético, but probably not. Possibly Juventus.

I don't thing we would have to, we're much better than that Chelsea team. The biggest issue isn't our limitations, it's that we're at our worst far more frequently than we're at our best.

Agreed with this, and that with that we become our own worst enemy more so than the opposition.

And just before the knockouts, when it's probably too late to win the league, all our players find some form. Let's do this.

I don't see why we can't beat Bayern when we can easily beat Villa.

Alfonso

Our timing could not been any better coming into the business end of the season.

I don't recall us going into such a period looking so fresh and having the majority of our big guns firing on all cylinders.

We were like this at the beginning of last season after the Villa game. But then we had 9 months to keep up the form. We peaked too early.

Benefit of being on the verge of of a 'peak' at this stage of the season is that we only need to sustain for a few months then we will really be in with a shout for the big prizes.

Spurs away is massive though.

Yeah. Watch out now.

this team doesn't have the intensity yet. too many periods of games where we lull and give teams a window to hit us. if we go from 'strength to strength' on that front in the next few months, anything can happen

flobaba

Make up your mind Gazza. Now or never. You're either with us or against us.

Monaco is on a good run right now too. But I'll be bitterly disappointed if we don't advance.

Two of Man city, barca, PSG or Chelsea will be out next round which is nice.

SachinWordsmith

Arsenal at their very best still need to hope that any of Madrid/Barca/Bayern are off their game over 180 minutes. That's asking for too much. Don't think it is going to happen.

And this scenario would arise if we beat Monaco. consistency is the attribute lacking most so let us beat Monaco before we even talk about winning the CL.

It's like that Moving statues craze from a few years ago.

Anthropologist Peter Mulholland argues that the continuing role of Marian apparitions in Irish popular culture is a reflection of psychological insecurity stemming largely from adverse childhood experiences and a concatenation of historical, cultural, political, religious and sociological factors

😆

I'd rather talk about winning the NLD than the CL at this point. Just need to start cranking out the league points, it's keeping our form and confidence intact that will give us a chance in Europe.

Biggus

You need more than form and confidence to win the CL, you need a clever tactician and then some luck.

Burnwinter

Necessary not sufficient. Necessary, not sufficient. Necessary. Not. Sufficient. Neces. Sary. Not. Suff. Icient.

Daz

Burnsy, if you managed to type that on a phone without making any mistakes then I am well impressed.

Biggus

I don't get it, did Burnsy have a stroke?

Burnwinter

You're the one usually having a stroke Biggs.

Biggus

How does one respond to such rapier like wit???

Burnwinter

By taking your hand off your rapier?
