What are you basing this off?
The few CL appearances you've seen? or just off the WC14?

Because lets be honest you wasn't watching Olympiacos play domestically last year.

If they opened the gate in the corner he'd be away down by the Colosseum now dribbling away.

Are any of the "Wenger should buy Carvalho" gang watching how he is playing against Chelsea tonight?

No. Watching City.
How's he doing?

Havent seen anything to suggest he is worth 30m or whatever the figure is.
Not fair to judge on this game alone though.
Solid player but even Mikel managed to nutmeg him at one stage!

I'd take Atletico Porto or Monaco happily enough.

It will of course be Real or Bayern though.

Fook Roma anyway, needed both teams to score as the last leg of a big accumulator. Stupid fcuking head on Gervinho

edit
I realise this is nothing to do with Arsenal, just needed to vent. Has Cole been making the Roma team lately?

Lads I'm gona try get tickets for the stoke game in Jan when they go on sale tomorrow. From the lads and ladies here who've been, what are the seats I should be aiming to get? I was thinking the upper part of the lower tier along the wings, or should I go higher?

I prefer high up and behind either goal. Just personal preference at end of day I spose. Nice to be behind goal when they are shooting into it though.

Anywhere is good viewing tbh.I've never been in the same place twice and always enjoyed the games

I generally hope for a ticket near the middle, upper tier, then once I finally get through the long long queue, I completely panic purchase whichever ticket I can....

Hasn't failed me yet, you'd be hard pushed not to enjoy the view. The game on the other game...

Do any online bookies do bets on the CL draw? Would love to put money on us drawing Bayern (or Real/Barca).

It's the only way I can think to help offset the inevitable a little.

Im sure they'd give you the odds if you rang up

It should be 6/1 for any team you pick

actually scrap the 6/1 rule, I forgot to take other teams into account and how the draw plays out etc.

Bayern - most likely
Monaco - second

all the rest equal probability

I believe some posters on this forum actively enjoy being jizzputins and getting down other poster's throats at any available opportunity. So what if some people think Arsenal might win the Champions League, stranger things have happened, the knockout is in february and we could be looking at a team that has hit form at that stage, has all their players to their disposal with the possible addition of two defensive players who can play for us in the Champions League. At the very least it's worth a cheeky 10er.

Cheers for the advice lads, appreciated.

I have a sneaky feeling we'll get Real

No bother

Mr Blobby

Honestly we won't win the whole thing so if we did come up against Madrid i'd be ok with it. I enjoy watching us play against the big teams in europe since there never boring.

That being said i'd like to avoid Barca/Bayern.. We've played them too much over the years.

Would love PSG.

Let's hope we get Monaco, no doubt it'll be Bayern or barca.

PSG were runners up so we cant draw them.

One of Bayern/Barca/Real/. We all know its inevitable.

Sure what about it. If u wanna be the best then u have to beat the best.
No point being in the competition looking for soft draws. Some of our best nights have been those battles with the big clubs. I'd love Real though, seen enough of Barca and Bayern the last couple of years. Much prefer to watch us against the elite than be d1cking about on a Thursday night against some players we've never heard of

The flights were booked before last Saturday I'm afraid. I do truly hate Stoke though so hopefully we get one over on them.

Got mine too, been following Arsenal since 2005 and this will be my first ever Arsenal game I'm going to see in person.

Awesome! Hopefully we get a good result! I was lucky enough to see us twice in Highbury and I'd say I've been to the emirates 8 or 9 times at this stage. Love the Emirates but I do miss that wonderful old ground down the road. Whereabouts are ye sitting? I got Upper North Bank which is pretty much what I wanted. Was in that spot once in 2007 to see us hammer Derby 5-0, I'll take a repeat of that!

Looking at Rodgers he's getting hammered about his transfer policy but what do you make of wengers in the same time?

2012

Podolski - 11m hit
Giroud - 13m hit
Santi - 15m hit
Monreal - 8.5m undecided but looking a miss

2013

Sanago - free miss
Ozil - 42.5m good player but hasn't really justified his price tag
Flamini - free good start, useful player, shouldn't be a starter, hit for the price

Loan - viviano, kallstrom

2014

Chambers - 11m looking like a good buy
Ospina - 3.2m undecided
Sanchez - 30m looks an excellent buy
Debuchy - 12m undecided injured so far
Welbeck - 16m undecided, has so many attributes just shocking in front of goal


I got the prices off wiki, they don't look that accurate but they're all undisclosed so it's all just ball park figures anyway.

I like this.

It looks very good and in most cases as the prices paid, Debuchy for me is decided, he's a great RB really like him. Welbeck is doing exactly what you would expect and is good value for what was paid. I think Monreal is a hit at 8.5m.

I'd say pod is a bit hit and miss but not so bad as to be a flop. Ozil has been only ok in relation to his price tag, he hasn't made anywhere near the impact sanchez has
