well blow game 5 as we usually do, get a draw in turkey and finish 2nd.

then we'll get the mickeys, bayern or real madrid.

the chavs will win their group and play zenit or donetsk.

I think we finish on 13 points. Losing to Dortmund away and drawing the Turks away (in a match that will be a dead rubber). Top of the Group.

If we got Malmo, would love 1 night in Malmo and 1 night in Copenhagen!

Don't like the draw and think we could be in trouble.

that would give Dortmund 3pts. they'll beat anderlecht home and away = 9pts. beat Gala home and draw away = 4pts, total 13 pts

i think this goes to the wire - we lose out top spot on GD.

We did beat Dortmund last time so we got no reason to be scared just what state will we be in by the time that comes round?

We might have Sonogo as our main striker, it's a scary thought.

Booked my flights for all 3 aways.

Cheap return flights for £90 from Luton to Istanbul currently for day before and after game, imagine they'll go quick!

Dortmund away last year was our best performance in years and years. Tactically Wenger could not have got it any better, and Arteta put in an absolutely top drawer performance as lynchpin of the team. Yes we created fuck all first half and it was gritty but in terms of a game plan and execution I can't remember a better example. GG would have been exceptionally proud to have pulled off a masterstroke like that, spot on in the circumstances.

Literally the antithesis of everything we complain about. Wenger then went to OT and played with 10 men behind the ball and didn't know how to change things when our 0-0 game plan went out the window inside 30 minutes. And then went to the Etihad, Anfield and Stamford Bridge and oversaw utter chaos. It's just impossible to fathom.

well maybe not if people see the pics of the gala fans with guns who are threatening 'revenge' on gooners for Copenhagen...

This will be tricky. Dortmund are weakened by the loss of Lewandowski- but I think we will get 3 points from the two games. Galatasaray away will be tough and we will hopefully get a point. So hopefully we can get six points off Anderlecht and beat the Turks at home to finish on 13 points- will that be enough to finish top? I would think so. We absolutely have to finish top this year- and I for one am willing to sacrifice Newcastle at home in order to achieve that goal- a Champions League Quarter-Final place is more important

Also- what do people think are the chances of trouble at the Galatasaray games given that its the first meeting since the 2000 Uefa Cup Final?
