The game will no doubt be a pile of shite.
I concur

The post match excuse bingo will probably centre on the magnificent exertions at Old Trafford.. 0-1 or1-1..
Downfall?
The gaffer has a meltdown, still believes he can win, then there are mass suicides as reality sets in and it ends with the Red Army raping everyone in the vicinity.
Yup, post-2008 Arsenal all right

He does like playing the youth team pubbers in at least one of the group games in order to ensure 2nd place and a sphincter-penetrating game against Europe's actual elite (as opposed as to the 'elite' we were supposed to be part of by building Cashburton, of course).
Shit, even if we win the group, we'll still meet one of those big sides and get royally fucked.

Looking forward to many pints in some different London boozers during the day then the game at night and hopefully a win to top the group!

Unfortunately, they were knocked out in the third qualifying round by an Israeli side (Hapoel Be'er Sheva), who were in turn knocked out by Celtic in the following play-off round

Well that was an easy decision
the trouble is le cock sees PSG as a high profile game to raise brand awareness of Arsenal and so will feel compelled to put out the first team
so not only will that weaken us for our next league game, he will play the reserves v Southampton in the cup.
IT IS THIS LOGIC THAT SEES US GET INJURIES AND WHY WE HARDLY EVER WIN ANY TROPHIES ANYMORE
any non season ticket holder should boycott the game on Wednesday. By buying a ticket you are just contributing to the continuing cycle of failure at the club
Agreed. The ticket pricing is a disgrace.
It's ludicrous that these dead rubber and boring group stage games are priced that expensively. As you say, the pricing pretty much guarantees that the club/TOF will prioritize a dead rubber in the unwinnable Be All and End All over a game in a winnable competition like the League Cup. It also seems he's gone back to having a semi-pubber side in the League Cup - after taking it somewhat seriously for a few years - ensuring we will never win it under him.
Still, all the more UEFA prize money for the club (that we'll misspend as usual)

snigger league... the only fucking correct word there is "league".
Until we are in this money-grubbing disgrace of a competition as actual CHAMPIONS I really could not give a flying fuck about it...

God forbid we have actual
champions in the
Champions League group stages? Are you mad?!?
I view the
qualifying rounds as the 'real' Champions League. The rest is just a money-making exercise.

Wen ger can do this because it is the Qatar Investment group that Own PSG ,not the Sheik !
Hes been offered the job by them more than once , and you can bet your bottom dollar that if he agreed Wenger could walk in there at a momnets notice .
That sounds corrupt as fuck.
They must really know fuck-all if they still want TOF as their manager. Haven't they SEEN the wilful failures of last eight and a half seasons?
That said, I dearly hope he fucks off at the end of the season. Going to PSG may be the only other club job he could take. I'd love to see him found out over there as the absolute fraud that he is. Although knowing our luck, he'll stay here until he is dead
