Could well be a draw, both teams in poor form so are cautious and concerned that the first group game is not lost.

A draw wouldn't be a bad result in these times.

As a football fan I'm really looking forward to seeing Goetze play- is that wrong?

I know I will be backing the Arsenal as always but to be honest there isnt really a player we have that gets me excited for this game.
Dortmund have some really good players and I honestly cant believe we haven't gone in for some of them.
The Swansea game was not enjoyable and I havent seen the "beautiful" football that Wenger is famous for this season at all.

I hope we win but for a while with me its only my heart that tells me we'll win and not my head.

Certain defeat, 4-0 / 4-1. But we will be tired due to hard game on Saturday, and they had more time to recover. :roll:

We will be exposed again and lose the game 2.0

There will be a lack of effort and passion and maybe a new injury

We will have 1 player sent off and banned for 3 games.

All will be rosey in the wenger garden and the fans will remain singing his name like the retards they are

If he plays I'll be very dissapointed, we have 4 better strikers than him.

I really want us to continue our form v Udinese but I really don't think the team will have the necessary confidence . Hopefully Arteta and Gervinho to start.

Really? You've seen him at Monaco? I haven't seen him play much, I think a couple of S. Korea games a while ago.

Anyone who thinks Arsenal is going into this game a favorite should get their head examined.

BVB at home was a force last season and they have a fantastic team which is going to be very, very up for their CL debut. They could easily start by skinning one of the "giants" - though frequent Arsenal watchers know they are a far cry from giants of late.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 2-0 loss. That being said, I can't wait to see Goetze, Kagawa, Subotic, Hummels, and a few other extremely talented BVB players.
