As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Probably best to try and wrap it up now and send the kids on their annual trip to Greece.
So which is it..... Do you want an "Olympiacos result in Schalke as it gives us more of a shot at 1st place".....or "best to try and wrap it up now and send the kids on their annual trip to Greece"? I often change my mind, but rarely in the same post ?
Former players like RvP and Greedy have haunted us this season already, so I hope Giroud will have a huge impact against his former club with at least a brace to ease us through.

Malaga, who have won their group - lovely part of the world decent weather PSG, might well win theirs - never seen us win in Paris but had 3 legendary trips
Celtic - midweek drinks in Glesga, your weekend starts here
want to avoid
Porto been there done that. The sherry museum doesn't need a 3rd visit (Braga could go through too)
Barca, sick of being Messi-lated
Zenit/Shaktar too far and expensive...
was going to say whoever comes 2nd in ManUre's group of budge is best avoided for dullness
but Istanbul can be quite lively
Oh please not the Parc de Princess again. I still have the scars from the last visit there. Oh and a reunion with Ibrahimovic
Come 2nd and we'll get Barcelona. Win the group and it'll be Real Madrid if they finish 2nd.
The usual fair draw by the goons at UEFA. Lets hope its as technologically advanced as last season when they invited the ex-Bayern Munich captain on stage to handpick one of three teams from a goldfish bowl where he gets to see each team dropped in, rolls his hand around for 3 seconds and lo and behold picks out the easiest draw for his team.
Finish 3rd however, and we have the real prospect of entering a competition that we have a chance of winning. 20 years on from our double cup season, I'd be more interested in winning the League and Europa Cup double than I would, getting pasted 4-1 in the Nou Camp or Bernabeu

Which I think puts us on a par with a Birmingham or Middlesbrough....

When either of those two win two cups in a single season maybe, until then.......in fact two cups in their history would be a start
