The thing that's helping us even more is people talking up PSG as if they're Brazil 1982

They are winning a farmers league again, they played well against Liverpool. Dembele, Doue and the keeper are decent....err, and that's it

They were dog shit against us and with 2 games to go it didn't even look they'd make the top 24!! In the second leg against Villa, wasteful finishing and inspired goalkeeping prevented that being a 6-2 massacre.

The most overrated team left in the competition and in my view the weakest but delighted everyone is making them favourites to win the whole thing

4-2 or 3-1 coming up at a canter.

Whilst I agree with some of what you have said SteveO; especially the bit about a Farmers League... They are a different kettle of fish to when we smacked them upside the head last Winter / Autumn(?)...


They are much improved and whilst the goalie is Good, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia and Vitinha (sp?) are their best players, they have pace and when they break they break as a complete 10 man unit. I am not saying this to dampen any spirits or hopes and for sure I know 100% we can destroy these Mofo's we still have to Turn Up and Do the Business (for both legs) in the same way we did with those cheating, dirty, diving fucks from mudrid .

Oh! And whilst we're at it ... I'm with DB .... that nonsensical feeling is still as strong as ever just like the Jedi Force!

All our players need to watch a few "Allo Allo" repeats & use what they learn to confuse them !! Should work otherwise we will win 3-1. :barscarf: :barscarf:

PSG are massively overrated

We need to go after them in the first game like we did against Madrid.
Wrap it up in the first game then a professional performance away

They are certainly beatable but what I do think about them is that they do have goals in them - and especially in the first leg where we are without Partey, then we might be vulnerable.

Any kind of win going into the 2nd leg and I think we will go through though.

Can't say I share your enthusiasm ! Beating Real is no great shakes. They are a name rather than a team (like Man U) and I was delighted that we avoided Athletico Madrid. PSG are an all energy hard working team who play the same way home and away. We will need to be at the very top of our game to get anything out of the first leg and William Sleeper needs to wake up, stop switching off and making stupid costly errors at the back. If we get a draw I will be happy but can't see it!!

Same here. A mixture of nerves and excitement. Finished work.at 4.30pm, then I will be in bits. But these are the nights we want and this is the place we want to be. The season should have been.a lot better, but park all that and believe that we can do this.

Don’t get the huge confidence. Put simply, our form other than Champions League games is woeful over the last 2 months. We need to go full gas from the start and take all our chances and make no mistakes.

It's clear that Arteta's football is more suited to European competition.

Confident of a victory tonight

I'm not over confident by any means but I am excited as these are the nights we want to be a part of. Good luck to the Arsenal.

Same here. Not overly confident because we do have a clanger or two in our game and are very capable of grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. :|

But I still have my weird, overpowering (and well documented) feeling that we will win the CL this year. No idea why, because we are lacking in some key areas, but there you go! :lol:

Back in the real (sic) world, our demolition of Madrid showed we can step up on occasions and given we are now down to what is in effect a cup competition, I'd say we are in with a decent shout. 8)

So, more hopeful than confident. :wink:

Absolutely buzzing for tonight, on the beers from late afternoon and into the stadium early tonight. Seems like they got something special planned pre match, and then over to the fans to make the atmosphere.
