Champions League Match Day 6 | 8/9 December
- Thread starter Raw
- Start date
Ozil is playing out of his mind at the moment.
Atletico maybe yes but not Real.
If we get PSG again, the CL draw can feck right off. I'm tired of playing them every year.
Tetchy.I'd say the opposite tbh, they would stand a chance against this Real but no way would they beat Atletico and Simeone over two legs.
I feel like it's the other way around - we'd have no chance against a team like Atletico. They're set up perfectly to beat us. Real would be doable if we're well organised and Ozil, Sanchez etc are on the top of their games.
Real Madrid would destroy Arsenals defence I reckon. Atletico Madrid are tough feckers but they have a bit of a scoring issue.
We can beat Atletico and Real. We can also beat Monaco but we fecking didn't.
Atletico would pound Arsenal into the ground. Real less so.
It's football, anything can happen. I would like us to get Real, I tink we can take them.
Anyone can beat anyone. Having said that i think Arsenal do well against a team that plays attacking football and are more open compared to defensive physical teams that don't mind winning ugly.
Probabilities for the draw
If Arsenal get their players back from injury and given their new found solidity, I wouldn't rule them out of beating anyone.
They have something that many teams don't have. Extreme pace up front with sublime creativity.
I can see them doing better than before.

Well that was unexpected, and absolutely brilliant. Didn't think we had it in us to be fair.
We're going to get Barca, aren't we.
We're going to get Barca, aren't we.
I think Arsenal would lose to any of the teams they can possibly draw. Even Wolfsburg and Zenit. Credit for getting themselves out of that hole but they dug that hole all by themselves. I do not think City or Chelsea will make it far either.
Atletico don't pound teams. They've only scored 20 goals in the league and they qualified in a very easy group.
They do pound teams. They are like a jack hammer. Just keep hitting hard at you until you cant get up amy more. Just watch a couple of their games against Barca and Madrid. They can really make you look crap if on form.
Real Madrid are the best team at thrashing smaller teams and racking up a high score in games, however they never really dominate many top games and always seem to give bigger sides a chance in those games.
PSG:City, Barca:Arsenal, Juventus:Chelsea?
I don't see how Arsenal pulling off an unlikely feat makes a laughing stock of those who predicted they wouldn't in hindsight. No one really thought they'd be able to win in Greece. So for all intents and purposes, they were as good as out.
I would love to know what would happen if Kiev and Zenit were in a position where they couldn't avoid each other. Politics don't belong in football.Probabilities for the draw
Yea, comedic genius there. Absolutely hilarious at people pointing out the precarious position Arsenal were at.
Calm down. Some are absolutely devastated. Talk about sour grapes
You win some, you lose some. Well done Arsenal, Chelse and City. We have learned alot.

Loving the Scouse version of Hey Jude there mate. Guess I'll finish it off.
GGGIIIRRROOOOOOOOUUUDD
How come we are so likely to get every team?Probabilities for the draw
Easily one of the best chants in the league. Definitely the best from London 
Arsenal and Kiew are the two teams in pot 2 that have two or three teams they cannot be paired with. As Chelsea cannot get the two (Arsenal same country, Kiew because of the group) you only can get the pot 2 teams that have one team they cannot go to. That causes that the probabilities for Chelsea are nearly the same for every team.
I like the look of Sergi Samper. Come on Arsene, sign him up!
I don't want Juventus though.
How about a loan deal?
Don't think we're the sort of club who'll take a youngster on loan. And I don't think you'll sell without one of those buyback clauses. Watching a repeat of last night's game. Messi obviously dictates play but I like what I see of Samper. How do you rate him?
It was tongue in cheek. I don't think you'll get him unless it's a buy, and lately Enrique has been trusting him more unlike early in the season. He's highly rated by most. Very composed and calm with the ball like Busquets, nice passing skills and positioning. Still 20 years old. He can play as CM or a pivot.
Yeah, he certainly has a decent pass on him. Will do very well in our midfield, where Cazorla plays. Here's hoping he fulfils his potential.
Already 20, too old.
