CL draw Friday March 15th at 11.00 AM GMT - who do you want

goon

I mean we'd probably be one of the lowest seeds left in it so it wouldn't have helped us.

The unpredictability of the draw makes it semi-interesting and gives some of the weaker sides some hope. Anything can happen in a one off game. If Lukaku wasn't such a bumbling mess Inter could have taken City all the way.

Less about helping us and more about making the competition make sense. Inter were never winning that final, precisely because they aren't legitimately good enough. The real final was Real-City.

It's too bad Dortmund and Atleti can't just knock each other out. Such a stupid match up.

I don't think anyone in their wildest dreams thought in 2005/06 with the League season we were having that we would beat Real and Juventus enroute to the final against Barcelona which we would lead for over 80 minutes, all that on the back of a resolute defense that had Senderos and Flamini at LB. We refused to concede then. We have the the defensive resolve to do it again at this stage. Wenger never built the same in his time again. We can do this. When have Arsenal been amongst the top 3 bookies favorites at this stage of the CL, may be since 2004?

It's Jo's birthday the day of the second leg. I won't tell you how old she is, but it involves a zero.

I couldn't cope with City v Spurs on her birthday a few years back, how the hell am I supposed to cope with this?

Qwiss

RocktheCasbah you need to plan something really special for the weekend before her birthday. Get it out of her system.

Burnwinter

RocktheCasbah Win-win solution: your partner stops aging.

Qwiss

Clrnc thats largely because the English teams tend to go deeper than any other league. Plus they can't get Spanish teams in the round of 16 which means even more likely to get English.

Claudius when are these games? I need to put in for time off.

RocktheCasbah

flobaba April 9 and, unfortunately for me, 17.

RocktheCasbah

Qwiss I've fucked it mate. We're going to Dubrovnik - she doesn't know yet - but it's the weekend after. I was saying to James earlier, hopefully we win the first leg 5-0 (or, hey! 5-1) and the second leg is moot. Well, a guy can dream...

I suppose you're right though, something special in advance might sweeten the deal.

Qwiss

RocktheCasbah plan b: bring her out for a liquid lunch and get her so drunk she's asleep by kick off.

RocktheCasbah

Qwiss you might be onto something there. I'll just need to ensure I don't follow her... 🤣

Two very comforting words

Fucking hell look at the state of our team....

Mirth

JazzG I think I blocked out the fact that we played Sanogo against Bayern ffs

QuincyAbeyie

Didn't realize even Skysports couldn't spell Wilshere.

Gazza M

Mirth I'll never forget it. our striker and centre-mid debacle in the latter Wenger years gave me endless nightmares

Gunner89

Bayern are a formidable opponent. That said, I don't expect them to sit and play the way Porto did.

It's simply not their style.

I'd favour us over them for sure basis what I've seen this season.

CPM

I actually remember Sanogo being half-decent in that game!

Flamini was so awful, not even a Premier League standard player at that point.
