EL R32: Arsenal draw Benfica

[theHotHead]

I refuse to drop my standards and neither should you lot or the club ! If we don't breeze past Benfica over 2 legs it will just prove the point that Arteta is out of his depth. For me he can't really win in this tie, because I expect us to beat Benfica so no praise on him if we do, but if we lose I will say I told you so. Unfair ? Probably, but I refuse to drop my standards, the squad is better than we have seen.

First leg, benfica home game in Rome

2nd leg, Arsenal home game in Athens.

That probably won't work for the second leg Greece just went into full lock-down.
