And now I smile like a proud dad, watching his only son that made it'.

Ayo, I know you ain't talking 'bout me, dog, you? what?

Aaron Ramsey ‏@aaronramsey 30m30 minutes ago
Fantastic result for us tonight, we worked so hard for it. Gutted to have to come off but was buzzing watching the lads at the end #AFC

Might not be too serious then? Not sure though...

He was clutching lower hammy so it might not be too serious .

 

[SuperGoon]

Yeah, gotta say. I actually like Black Costa. Elephant Costa gives all Costa's a bad name, but Black Costa is legit footballing king that looks likely to redeem the scummy Costa name. Great buy for Bayern.

 

[Bigbludfire]

I was at work when this rampage happened. I was literally creaming myself at the score.

Me and Supergoon have some anti jinx kind of thing going on.

 

[Rimaal]

Thought you were German born and bred?

Nope. Arab born and bred.

 

[Rimaal]

Douglas Costa is also a freaking baller. Unbelievable dribbling ability.

He's stupendous.

 

[Rimaal]

If I remeber it right the german commentaor said that alonso gave an indication that he needed to be substituted.

I see, thank you. I'm gonna sit down and watch the match tomorrow when it's replayed.

Dude, I flicked off and two minutes later we scored.

I'm cursed, but I'm working the next 2 weekends anyways so I don't really care as long as we keep winning.

Is 9 points likely to see us through or should we still still be aiming for minimum 10?

2 - 0! What a win! I’m over the ****ing moon, Top Top Quality! Just got home, hardly ever experienced any Berlin bars as low as that…, haha!

I have to say Monreal was excellent all night, so sooo solid. Cech had some magnificent saves, Kos and Mertesacker, a couple of dangerous moments, but in general they were fantastic throughout against one of the best teams in the world going forward. And Bellerin…, even if he had his problems with Costa in the first half kept his head up and proved that he’s worth the starting spot - he offers so much going forward, what a player he is and what a player he will be… Coq was great as always. We always looked dangerous on the break and won deservedly. Sooooo happy Mesut got that last goal (especially to save the Ox for the blushes…)! Alexis was slightly disappointing with too many loose touches and misplaced passes (after a couple of weeks in god-like form), Aaron fought hard, but didn’t quite show enough going forward, Theo was dangerous if a bit inefficient, but Giroud really showed that he is a great option from the bench.

All in all, fantastic night… the sight of all all the Berlin based Bayern fans after the final whistle was almost worth the last two defeats, haha. COYG!

 

[SuperGoon]

Hopefully this win summons @GDeep from whatever prison he's being kept in.

If Olympiakos beat Zagreb again (most likely will) then we're out really. Even 9 points might not be enough if GD goes against us.

Still, there's always hope. Why not want to stay in the CL? It's the best competition out there, and if our squad is good enough for the PL, it'll shine through.

 

[Trilly]

Tonight has proven that mentality is our biggest obstacle, we actually kept Bayern relatively quiet and created more chances than them. I never though I'd be saying that.

The potential of our first team is actually quite scary.

I'm not so sold on Olympiacos being a shoe-in in their next game. The game today with them and Zagreb was rather close

with the assumption of us losing to bayren, and winning the 2 musts against olympiacos and zagreb.
That leaves us with 9.
means if olympiacos wins at home vs zagreb and hopefully lose to bayren, both of us will have 9 points. we gotta win by more than 1 at greece. the 1st decider in a tie is the match up between the teams i think.

Lets hope bayren will win even tho most likely they'll have top of the group guaranteed by then

Olivier Giroud thanks ‘hand of destiny’ after Arsenal see off Bayern Munich

Olivier Giroud spoke of having enjoyed a “helping hand from destiny” after his bundled goal, which appeared to come off his hand, set Arsenal fair for a famous2-0 Champions League win over Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium.

[Hunta]

Bayern will probably beat us next whilst Olympiakos will beat Dinamo. We'll then beat Dinamo and Bayern should beat Olympiakos (unless they fix it).

Bayern 12pts
Olympiakos 9pts
Arsenal 6pts
Dinamo 3pts

Basically, if everything goes how it should, we'll have to beat Olympiakos by 2 goals to go through.

Like a proud poppa

 

[SuperGoon]

Per and Bellerin tho.

Pretty much captures everyone who was involved in the goal. Mesut being trampled. Giroud, as per usual, celebrating the goal as if it were his own, Per giving Bellerin the "Well done, kid, I'm proud of you," embrace that only a captain can give. Wenger looking on with pride.


I didn't even buzz this much for the man united match.
