Aren't we missing something re this ref - maybe we're the ones who have tucked a few quid in his top pocket?

It has started already, I heard Arteta on the radio this morning saying "we are in one of the most beautiful cities in the world to make history" - when he starts talking like that he makes me believe ffs - stop it 'Tets!

Although we're all mostly realists and we're resigned to not winning this tie, the closer it gets to kick-off the more blind faith begins to grow, the heart over-rules the head, you allow the fantasy to take hold and we're left believing it can happen.

As someone said, it is the hope that kills.

Thanks DB10 for posting the update which I was going to do. Who would have thought that AI could learn anything form us at the forum.

I also feel bad since this all started on Saturday when i was at the game and spent a few hours after the game with the wife and kids wandering aimlessly around the ...

Perhaps we should tip our hat to Wenger and Dein flor that last night... surely this was the vision when we left Highbury for the Emirates - to be able to compete with Europe's best and beat them.

Is anyone able to help with 2 tickets for this, I understand that it is complicated and the application has to be made with passport details which will be checked before entrance.

Here's hoping....

The tie wasn't lost last night, it was lost in the first half of the first game when we thought we could squat Bayern aside in the opening 20 minutes.

We were naive playing that high line and leaving acres of space for Bayern to bomb into, comedy defending, White's miss that could have made it 2-0 ...

What can't be disputed is how Arteta has stopped the rot, stabilized the squad, got rid of the holiday camp mentality which allowed players to take the piss out of the club and he has taken us to the Verge of greatness, but has he got what is takes for the couple of percent required to make them ...

Was worried after the melt last year that Arteta had cemented a losing runners-up DNA into a squad which he'd never recover from, bit like Rogers after he threw the title away for Liverpool. Was convinced that this season we'd be back fighting for 4th, but I started to believe and foolishly thought ...

He's been found out, no doubt about it.

On a positive note the self-harm is done early this year, not sure I could have taken another cock-tease until the last 5 again.

To be fair I think Deeney had been primed to add some balance because although Keown was trying his hardest to be impartial you could feel his pride and passion and felt like he was trying hard to keep from shouting "and now you're gonna believe us....!"

I was also wondering about Fabregas, jumped ...

What was up with Rashford? Was he not trying to antagonise the home crowd with his celebration? There isn't any history there is there?

Also did Saka not mock his celebration when he scored the 2nd?

This is an excellent listen, almost a 90 minute interview with former Arsenal captain Tony Adams. I didn't realise how close he came to not being an Arsenal man. Some very funny moments and some tears along the way too:
