CL: Olympiacos FC vs Arsenal FC - Wed. Dec 9th, 7:45pm

[say yes]

Why would anyone rather we play in the EL to the CL?

Also - surely we start Walcott, Ox, Joel front 3. Giroud to come and do his magic from the bench.

We should always play to win ... if Arsène puts out anything but our best available 11 (not doing that is the bloody reason we're in this mess from the home leg) then it's another sign that senility is taking hold ... after his injury comment "emotions in your private life that can have an impact on muscular injuries" it's pretty clear he's now out with the fairies, or maybe Jack's missus caught him playing away and beat the ****e out of him, I guess that could count as ''emotions causing injury" ... anyway back to Olympiacos put out the best team, win, and go through ... simple

Is Theo 100% fit? Don't want to risk him

Fancy us to thrash them, they will probably put 10 men behind the ball and try to stifle us, but if we grab a early goal the floodgates will open... Would rather not be in Europe at all than be in the Europa league. 4-0

He looked sharp today but only the medical team could answer that. If he was fit I'd definitely start him though.

Fancy a win but us to get knocked out.

Really disconnected from Europe this season - want it over with.

It's small time to say we need to focus on the league, but it's true.

On that point, this is the list of players that have played for Arsenal away to Olympiakos:

Can't draw too many conclusions from past meetings.

I did make it clear we had previously already qualified. More importantly why did you delete my last sentence?

"We can do this, scoring early would help!"

I dont really understand the point of your reply as we are both saying we can win.

 

[tap-in]

On that point, I would like to admit to editing other peoples posts in an attempt to make them look like a kno*. On some occasions it back fires and I end up looking like an even bigger kno*

Can't draw too many conclusions from anything I say

Ok I forgive you!

Massive game this, would be quite extraordinary if we actually end up qualifying... I can't wait, I just hope at the very least the players show some purpose and energy on the night. It's absolutely do-able, but will be a tricky game for sure.

Can't believe some people want out of this competition though, or even drop into Europa. Ridiculous. I understand people worrying that even if we do qualify we'll very likely have to face a big team, but once we drew Bayern in our group the best we could've hoped for was second place anyway. Personally, if we are fortunate enough to get to the knock out stages, I just hope we can avoid Messi, Suarez and Neymar.

By the way guys, if we were to qualify, could we end up facing Bayern again? Or not because they're in the same group as us?

We can lend you our tissues if things don't work out too well for you. Boohoo. We'll be back to this post once we take care of you..

 

[Arai]

Just joining this forum to fume us. Lol.

Ok I forgive you!

I was agreeing with you.

 

[AVENTUS]

What is it, the Greek air? The grass? Witch craft?

None of what's gone before has any bearing whatsoever on what will happen. What does losing to PAOK Salonica 17 years ago mean?

Anyway, when you look a bit closer to the poorer results we've had out there, I'm sure they'll tell you something more than us just being rubbish in Greece. Pretty sure we've played under strength sides a few times, because we were already through.

Unfortunately not my friend most recently you'd remember Mannone cost us a game out there by forgetting you can actually handle the ball inside the box. And go back a few more years we played a team Inc Henry, Peris, Cole, Lauren, Gilberto well.... the full strength team bar Bergkamp who wouldn't travel and still lost to Panathinikos 2-1. Horrible Horrible results out there..

Let's hope we do it. But as Wenger would say they have the psychological edge for this one and we're severely under strength.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

As long as we get no injuries, I could not care less about the result. We won't win the Champions League, and the Premier League is there for the taking...

 

[Nyctophobia]

I expect lots of goals in this, we'll be going right for their throats; Wenger wouldn't have us sit back for this one.

People will be calling you Paralympiakos when Özil has finished with you.
