Sure we will claim 50,000 but if we get 25,000 bums on seats I'd be surprised ... the drive to go and watch us just seems to have gone for so many people, five years of endless infighting will do that ... was hoping we would come together behind Emery but five minutes in and already that's already gone to shit ...


I will be there. Honestly I think the stupid 5.55 kick off is going to play a big part too because UEFA fail to realise that most people have jobs, and can't just drop everything and go to football on a whim.

Trying to remember the last time when everything was rosy for a substantial period of time at Arsenal tbh.

During our unbeaten run earlier in the season many people were rightly questioning the quality of our play, wondering how long we were going to continue riding our luck.

Emery will continue to divide opinion, whether we progress in the QF/semis or not.

What most would agree on is that poor defenses very rarely (if ever) win European trophies so unless we improve dramatically on this front during the upcoming weeks/months, it's going to be difficult.

Even in the EL, efficiency is pertinent.

I honestly think we are probably going to lose today. The squad looks extremely disjointed on the field. There's no chemistry.

Should be an easy thrashing, I hope for Emerys sake we go through imagine being the manager for the two most embarrassing results in European history.

He wasn't manager of Arsenal when we lost to Dinamo Moscow, a club who hadn't won in the CL this century.

The only thing I'd say is that its the perfect game for Ozil to make a return! We need to pick our way through a packed defence, so need width and speed too, to get some good crosses in. No Bellers who does that well, so we'll have to hope for AMN to pull his finger out!

I think we can win this well, but need a fast start!

We'll concede. That's pretty much a cast iron guarantee but hopefully we concede when we are 4 goals up

Like last year?

Its not that its rosy, its more what do we expect at this stage with the minimal investment and ambition of our club, a moon walk to the finals?

Last year, we reached the semis. Yes we also had a humiliating loss to a nobodies club at this stage but it will not matter a bit for this year we are winning it.
