Champions League Qualifying Round 2013

[Red Gunner]

Toughest draw we coulda got, Fener are a very decent side the last year or two. I see a very real possibility of us not progressing.

Still, it makes sense to hold the spending until after we've got through the qualifier eh?!

I reckon we'd be up amongst the top two if we fixed our matches as well...

That doesn't change the fact they are a decent team. Juventus and AC Milan fixed matches too but they had great teams.

I am not happy with the draw, I think it'll be a tough match but despite that, I'm confident we'll go through.

Does anyone know if Fener's new signing Emenike is eligible to play against us? He signed for them yesterday.

Lads going out of champs league is not an option for us as it would prevent us from sign all those top players who only want to play for champs league clubs - you know players like.....

Sanogo? Not sure a "top-class striker" would have been willing to swap the prestigious Ligue 2 for Europa League.

Could be an interesting tie - looking forward to the first leg.

Are you going mate,

Just booked up. Arrive in Istanbul on the 20th and leave on the 23rd .

Qualifying round exit humiliation a distinct possibility.

I can see it now......we get beaten over two legs by Fener, then they lose their appeal and get booted out of the CL and we are allowed through instead!!

Theres a good chance mate.Le bumholes penny pinching will finally bite us on the arse me thinks

[DB10GOONER]

Anyone that thinks Fenerbache will be easy is mental. Possibly the worst tie we could have gotten, particularly the away leg, given the lack of any real spine or bollocks in our team.

Just heard we got the turks. Very real chance that we are going out before we've even got in.
Wengers about to get a real big slap round the chops.

Just checked some flights only deals... nearly £300 and thats without the match ticket and accommodation. .. will the travel club option be any cheaper I wonder ... ???

[falkirk goon]

Worst draw we could've got imo especially when you take into account the travelling involved and intimidating atmosphere over there.

Yeah, it's not great. I'm flying Boston to Istanbul as part of a multi city trip and then the Istanbul to Heathrow flight on Turkish Air was $600....

In Vegas missing out but do see us winning both legs .

At least tickets are cheap: http://www.arsenal.com/match/report/131 ... al-tickets

I shouldn't be worried this will sell out before Red members should I?

Anyone know if the club will be putting together a travel package? Have tried shopping around for cheap air fares but not much luck thus far.
