Don't worry, it'll all change when Arteta and his 50 million transfer kitty are unleashed on the league.

I’d take any result to nil tonight. Would set us up for a great chance in the second leg. 0-0 would do me. We will score away, I’ve no doubt about that, so I’m quietly confident of going through over the two legs. Just need to bring our A game for the 180 mins. The season and Arsenal career for many of these players are on the line tonight and next week.

Edit. Santi Cazorla is back training.

Remember Wenger's 1000th game? When it was so hyped and then Chelsea f*cking tonked us? I'm expecting nothing less than that tonight.

Nothing there if we need a goal.

Any idea what station this is on?

Is it BT Sport or something like that?

Yeah it’s on one of the BT sport channels. Not on terrestrial tv, down to the pub for me.

Very good point my jenas.

If a midfielder tries something daring to open up a defence in the Emirates if it doesn’t work the crowd are sighing.

That just breeds pressure and the players loose confidence.

Need the crowd to be positive no matter what as long as it’s not silly mistakes.

Believing too much Twitter me thinks

Bench is absolute pants. A reflection of wengers downfall, even taking account of missing players tonight.

We won’t lose tonight but we'll concede.

I haven't been nervous before an Arsenal game in quite a long time, probably a couple of years or more. There really is a lot riding on this! COYG

This must be what is feels like to have Mike Dean refereeing in your favour.

Quazzie

I'm so not used to getting a ref that does us favours like this. It's weird. I'm so far out of my comfort zone :eek:

Ardennes1944

Madrid are a wounded dog now, lets not get ahead of ourselves. Xhaka now for a stupid challenge to even it up

pudzey101

Topbike77

Bellerin actually sending in good crosses as well

Agree, there was an impediment there with the leg in the way, but Lacazette looked to turn that into the foul it wasn't.

greendom

Pleased to see how well we are playing. Great to see

Wheeliebin30

I thought that was a penalty.
