Champions League Playoff and 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.

Impressively beating off Dundee, Leicester and Swansea Bay (as turd-polishing goes slapping a trendy name on a shithole region and calling it a 'city' is pretty poor), possibly on a "crack addicts per capita" tiebreaker.

It isn't really about culture at all though is it? Just attempted regeneration of post industrial wastelands with no hope of investment for elsewhere, in the hope that cultural projects such as museums and galleries will somehow turn the place around through tourism and short term employment to meet these expected demands 8)

Zenit through so Bilbao can be drawn against us. Need to avoid them and Lille imo.

Bilbao, Lille, Copenhagen, Standard Liege or Besiktas are the teams we can face.

Can you imagine the grief we would get from the scouse tea leaves if the young Belgium striker they loaned back to lille, scored goals against us to know us out ? :censored:

The real worry of that lot would be Bilbao and Besiktas.

Demba Ba got a hat trick against Feyenord, forgot he went there.

Some tricky ties here but we should really be getting past any of that lot.

Over two legs we should be too strong for any of them teams so as a seeded team do we not play the 2nd leg at home?

As long as we get Olympiakos in the group stages I couldn't give a flying fuck. Nothing sets the pluses racing like seeing our second string get ass tickled in Athens on a humid November eve :barscarf:

And can you imagine the banter if Kalou showed us why we should have signed him? :shock:
