Group of death

H: Arsenal, BATE, Koln, Red Star Belgrade

This will be about our level once Wenger is done dragging us down.

Regardless, we should not turn our noses up at this competition, this will be good experience for the whole squad to band together to actually win something other than the FA Cup and the bloody Emirates cup which is almost embarrassing to be even mentioning.

Some of the better teams in the comp I'm actually looking forward to seeing if they all make it to the semis etc, we rarely get the chance to play teams like Valencia and Roma these days and if we can beat teams like that on the way to a hopeful Arsenal vs AC Milan final this may turn out to be an enjoyable campaign.

Better than getting smacked around by Bayern Munich 4-0 every year anyway, rather than "just taking part" and thinking that's a success it will be good to actually have pressure to progress in Europe for a change.

They've not done that yet, why would they start now?

They'll be scarred from all of the trauma of the group stage battering they'll take and will flop out to concentrate on the league.

Hello, Red Star is having a derby match against Partizan at home on Sunday, after that plans are to replace this awful surface, so don't worry about the surface ;)

Will try but GOAT club for the first time in Europe since f***ing 25years also the stadium is in any case sold out even against the most boring clubs from Germany plus Arsenal is liked by a lot of Köln fans (among others cause of Podolski) and it's the biggest club in the group I'm hardly confident to get my hands on tickets :crybaby: :crybaby:

Genuinely more way more interested in watching us in the Europa league this season than in the Premier league.

Why do people act like Europa is beneath Arsenal? We’ve won a single third rate uefa trophy in 70 years of European football. Winning it would be a great achievement, the best thing that has happened in well over a decade…but no, let’s focus on scraping 4th so we can be humiliated in the CL again…
The difference between Spurs & Arsenal is that Spurs fans know they’re a banter club, Arsenal fans are utterly deluded and think they’re among the European elite. Reality check, we have a less prestige in Europe than the pot 4 team in our group.
