-----------Giroud Alexis--Caz--Ramsey--Ozil ----------Coquelin Nacho--Kos--Gabriel--Eckto -----------Ospina

Yep, absolutely. It's always the case.
Get it to 2 nil at half time and they'll shit their pants
What will they say OMITT?
If it gets to 2-0 by HT I'll shit my pants. Right on betfair to emo hedge the next mortgage payment.
Can't be done. Probably. Some (I think L'equipe) are predicting Ramsey won't start. Don't understand how that would be possible. First name on the team sheet after watching them constantly snap at our midfield in the last leg.
Aaron is my big hope for tonight, no way he doesn't start if fit, he's a Wenger favourite anyway.
Don't think Gabby should be starting this either after just coming back. Mert has been decent since returning anyway.
Can be done if we get an early goal. There will be time for a second goal and then a third in the game ending fracas. Will be a struggle otherwise, almost impossible i reckon.

With the way some people are getting too over optimistic I do get the impression the night will be massive let down in the end. I don't think this current group have the kind of mentality that when our backs are against the walls they'll come out fighting.
As opposed to which group since 2006?
I just hope..in case we don't make it tonight. Win(but still not make it to the next round) lose or draw I just don't want it to affecte the players to much, there is still a lot to play for in the League and in the FA Cup. Going out can have a huge negative effect on them. Wenger will need to keep them focused and ready to fight on.
I'm starting to feel it, I tried to ignore it the hole day at work..but can't anymore. Pleaseee let us get an early goal, and then it's game on. Come on Arsenal !

Shocking lack of #belief being displayed here.
Think we can win or tie this, as we showed in the first game that we could have put 3 past Monaco. But I'm not buying into us winning the tie though I'm hopeful.
We'll win 4-1, Giroud, Kos, Alexis and Theo. Ramsey MOTM.
It's going to be one of our hardest task to qualify ever. Probably even harder than our previous K.O ties in the past few years. Their stats at home is simply insane.
1 goal conceded in the last 12 games, haven't conceded 3 goals at home since 2011. Not conceded a single goal at home in europe yet.
At least my expectations of us going through is low. It will not hurt as much if we fail, but it will sure delight us as hell if we succeed.
COYG
This has "1-0 defeat" written all over it.
Currently cooking up some chicken, roast potatoes, and piperade. Gonna crack out the beers for the match.
Feeling good, think we might do it!
4-1 to the Arsenal. Kos, Ozil, and Giroud with a brace!
No doubt what so ever in my mind we'll get knocked out tonight. A few wins over mediocre sides doesn't change the fact that we're just not a very good team.

I feel pretty sure that losing 3-1 at home to Bayern makes for a harder second tie than losing 3-1 at home to Monaco. It will be hard, though. Too hard, probably.
