Champions League Draw

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.

lol don't reckon we'll get such a generous allocation,capacity is only 38k, same as highbury.

then again i checked wiki and ludogorets play at an 8k stadium, surely they can't host cl matches there? surely must have a deal in place to use the main olympic stadium (if there is one in bulgaria :rubchin: )
Arsenal top of the group that PSG is in, you sure !!!!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Edit, please tell me you are not from Baltimore, Maryland United States of America. I have heard enough delusion from Yank Gooner's this summer to last me a lifetime.

Said we had a chance, not that it's a guarantee.

I currently live in Baltimore and was born in Boston, Massachusetts. I started supporting Arsenal because my maths teacher in school was a gooner and also our football coach. We had training called off one day because there was too much rain and the pitch would be destroyed. So he took the team inside to watch the one champions league match that american television showed per matchday. That day was March 28 2006 (Who'd we play, big man? No cheating now). From there, I was hooked. I've followed Arsenal all over England and Europe so please don't get precious about "deluded yank gooners". It's extremely boring.

You can just imagine Stan phoning the Manager late last night, 'Hey Arsene, how's it going? Just wondered how that little ol soccer draw thing went yesterday? Someone told me we drew a herb and some team called Ludicrous? I'm guessing that this means I'll be able to take out a little more cash for 'consultancy fees' in the near future? Keep up the good work and if you're lucky I may even jump on my plane and see you sometime in the next year'

Hahahah. Hilarious, do the levels of plasticness of our overseas fans have no bounds. Your asking me who we where playing seriously when you was on the wrong side of the pond and I was in the clock end watching Henry skin PV, and probably the most famous Bobby Pires tackle of all time when he slid in versus Paddy and took the ball clean away, starting a counter attack. This is why our club has been ruined, it has been infiltrated by people that don't know what it means to be a gooner. It's a trophy tag.

So you are seriously telling me that on a run to the CL final that you caught the bug fuck me. If you said something like when Johnny Jensen scored his first goal for Arsenal I could identify with that or Paul Davis broke Glenn Cockerills jaw, but your reply just sums up how much our American cousins know fuck all about football. Replace that Juve game with our appalling effort versus Dynamo Zagreb last season and would you even blink an eyelid for our shower of a club, somehow I doubt it.

By the way, I am at pains to point out that Arsenal have loads of overseas connections in places like Ireland and Scandinavia through players that have worn the badge and been coveted by the fans. That coupled with a huge Irish population in north London many of whom are die hard gooners who know their football.

Going back to your original point whilst this isn't the toughest group PSG are a major force in CL football these days and Basel are no mugs either. Underestimate them at your peril.

I didn't know the champions league from the world cup at the point. I was a kid in secondary school who loved playing football and liked the way Arsenal played.

Do I not know what it means to be a gooner? I've stood in the away end at Brisbane Road, the Britannia, the Camp Nou and Selhurst among others. I spend 2x the cost of a season ticket on one trip where I see only 2-3 matches. It's because I love the club. When I come over, I have no desire to attract special credit or attention to myself (unlike many other American gooners) and just want to go down the pub with many of the hugely welcoming gooners I've met over the years. Shame you're not capable of being one of them.

By the way, PSG are a "major force" in the Champions League? They've made one semifinal in the history of the competition and that was in 1994-95.
