No.
I won't because we cannot win this competition anyway and Wenger knows that.
We'll bow out at the same stage again probably.
Would like to see us defend properly though.

I am an avid EPL man as i've said many times.
38 games to decide who is the best team in England.
Little interest in the cups too except to see youngsters being blooded.

I enjoyed arsenal v Bayern in Emerites- two great sides on display. Stoke, Leicester etc- not so much

Like playing the top sides in Europe

The league should never be decided on who has the biggest bank balance but no teams regardless of money should be scoring 6 against us. Those results occurred because the manager set the team up wrongly.
You can't blame bank balances for all our troubles.

Tell that to Chelsea/City and the Bayerns/Real/PSG's of Europe....

last years results against City/Liverpool/Chelsea were freak results.

Freak results may occur once or maybe twice but capitulation in certain games has happened too often to be considered freak results

Plenty of battle shown in the 2nd half against Stoke, last minute goal vs United shows the lads were fighting till the end.

Spirit isn't the issue as a rule although there was definitely a head's gone period in the Chelsea and Liverpool games last season. City away last year team showed plenty of spirit too imo?

Spirit is nothing when not companied with application and needs to be looked at over 90 minutes.

I take no comfort from the fact we got two second half goals against Stoke, if it was against one of the big teams maybe but not Stoke

I'm not worried about the result tonight. Try a few things and see if they work tactics-wise.

For us, yes. Very freaked I was.

I agree and against City it was more end to end until their 4th goal...against Liverpool and Chelsea it was naivety/capitulation/freak result

Its not completely but has a number of players that would see themselves as such.

That said Im not to bother by the result but they are capable of winning and I would only be pissed if they took a drubing

Probably get a win tonight, Sanogo banging some in.

Before game "great to see Poldi and Joel being given a chance"

After game "AW has lost it. Played such a weak team, we were embarrassing"

Are we on the box tonight?

When will this sh1t end? You and Greendom are making excuses for us losing tonight when we haven't even played, we are playing 4 starters in our strongest team tonight and the other 7 are back ups and subs it's hardly a team of youngsters I'm delighted Joel is getting a chance regardless of the outcome.

There is no reason what so ever for us to lose tonight with the team we're putting out, you may say we have nothing to play for but we have more to play for than Gala who can't even make Europa while we have chance to come 1st and avoid a dreadful draw.

I have no problem with team selection tonight apart from Debuchy and Ramsey but I won't hold it aginst Wenger if anything happens. Call it a nothing game but it's an Arsenal match in the champions league and i want to see us win and put on a good display don't see how that's expecting too much.

I've no problem with the team selection tonight either. As I said before its time for a few lads to put up their hand for a place. I've been baffled by the use or lack of use of Campbell so I'm looking forward to seeing him.
I wouldn't be writing us off at all. Sometimes the best performances come when u don't expect them

fulmer1984

That's a horrible defence we have tonight. Can see this being 3-0 against us

2 -1 to the gunners with poldi on the score sheet.
Then we all laugh as efb posts a picture of himself eating his hat...

My pizza hat. Fire lit, onesie on, cat on my lap and Dominos ordered! Boom!

The back line is a good enough reason for us to lose tbh. And it's going to stay that way.

I've very little hope of Kos playing consistent games this year.

Merse said he wouldn't bet against arsenal beating PSG- thought he was a gambling addict.

Redknapp shut up- not fit to lace Arteta's boots

I never watch those chancers.
They always miss the obvious.
Maybe they're not allowed to talk about contentious issues.

Interview with Arsene on SS5

I : 'Has the champions league changed since you began?'

AW: 'Yes, I feel financially it has increased competition, I think it's a lot harder for the small teams to get to the final! It means all the best players go to the biggest clubs so there is no surprises.. but for the quality of football its great!''



Returns to Jeff Stelling..

''Oooh AW saying there that the reason he's not making it far in the UCL lately is because of lack of finances.. what do you think about that guys?''



Really bad journalism

efb

Quinny talking sense with the two wallies

efb

Quinn pulled them apart. Basically linked Arsenal's demise with Dein's departure- he's right. The board sold RVP to Und against Arsene's wishes

He mightnt be everybodys cup of tea but Niall Quinn talks alot of sense... Merson on the other hand I wouldn't back him to know what day of the week it is

Merson was a great defender though.
Remember the battles with David Ginola.

Haha sorry. Just seemed like a needless comment and was only made to rile people up, no need.

Yeah maybe, but surely Gala wont be playing there strongest side tonight, it will be good practice for all of the defence and a good chance for Mert to show what he's made off and really step up as a leader. If we do lose I won't be shocked or outraged but hopeful for a win.

The backline can't be any worse than they were last Sat.
Bellerin has to play better than Gibbs did anyway.

Kos is too good to have an indifferent season I feel.
