We'll batter them tonight.

5-0

5 nil ? Pleased if we do but very much doubt it . In 25 league matches they have let in 17 goals . played 25 drawn 4 and lost 4 defensively very tight.

The first 10 minutes will tell all for me, if it’s constantly stop start because the referee is falling for all their histrionic bullshit then I’ll be worried, if he ignores them rolling all over the pitch and lets the game flow I’ll be confident.

The more this game is allowed flow the the greater the likelihood we put them away.

New expanded Champions League format from next season means computers are going to be used to make the draw. 

UEFA draw simulations have shown that a manual draw for the new format would take between three and four hours and require 900 balls. 

Instead a new hybrid method will be used - clubs will be drawn manually then the computer will take over and select their eight opponents.

The new hybrid draw is expected to take around 35 minutes - the same duration as the current draw for the existing format. 

An English IT company is coming up with the software which will carry out the digital part of the draw. There will also be two backup software systems and the draw will be audited.

Still open to abuse then.

Mikel Arteta has won nine out of nine European group stage games as a manager at the Emirates Stadium.

However he’s not won a single knockout game at home in five attempts:

Arsenal 1-2 Olympiacos
Arsenal 0-1 Olympiacos
Arsenal 1-1 Slavia Prague
Arsenal 0-0 Villarreal
Arsenal 1-1 Sporting (3-5 pens)

Absolutely Rodders, if we can get our groove on, we can blow any team away...The Quality of The Ref can decide the outcome of this... If they start with their Shyte he needs to just book the fuckers...

Come on the early goal......total pressure, crowd noisy, high speed passing and a bastard of a press.....COME ON YOU GUNNERS

Reckon Jesus will come in for Martinelli and Zinchenko for Kiwior(not saying I want Zinchenko in)but reckon thts what will happen, they're obviously going to sit on the lead, so won't be doing much attacking ,so Zinchenko won't have to defend too much.

According to Livescore we have two goalies on the bench.

Surely not
