I know we've played them a couple of times since, but that 3-1 defeat aet at Highbury in the european cup 1991/ 92 still haunts me. Genuinely believed that squad was good enough to win it that season.

We should have won it that year. That squad was superb.

According to @sr_collings, #Arsenal’s Europa League clash with Benfica this month could be played as a one-off tie on neutral territory under new rules issued by Uefa.https://t.co/qEERybzOZh

I don't like that. If everyone else gets two legs, we should have the chance to play poorly twice!

I'm not a real fan of European football in general but I'd take winning this over finishing 4th and qualifying for the shit bloated CL that we cannot win any day of the week.

Fuck the PL. :x

Arsenal have left Alex Runarsson out of their Europa League squad. Mat Ryan, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard have been added to the group.

Give him time. I

It's either going to turn out to be a confidence thing (lack of) and he becomes a Manninger! Or yup he's SHYTE.

As I say Give It Time! :D

A couple of weeks ago I was beginning to feel slightly confident about this, recent performances and decisions have made me U-turn, I see another European Cup exit on the cards in the predictable manner :banghead:

Rome, Romford, Rumania, Rhodes, it makes little difference as there's no fans.

I guess they don't have the quarantine BS if they play here. How that works I'm unsure.
If you travel to Portugal you gotta isolate on return but Italy you haven't? WTF!!

Fuck it, play the game on Hackney Marshes.
