BRAGA CL HOME GAME

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.

Will be a lot harder than some people think, having knocked out Sevilla I don't think Braga will be mugs. 2-0 AFC :barscarf:

Seems to be very little buzz around this game, but I'm looking forward to it. Will also be the missus' first ever time at the Arsenal or any football match for that matter.

2-1, think we'll squeak through this one, Cesc to get a winner, celebrate and spawn 13 separate threads analysing his body language :lol:

I'm extremely surprised to see so many posters going for an Arsenal win to a nil scoreline.

Braga have the quality to score at least twice.

I don't think we will win the match and I think we'll actually struggle to get a point.

Braga are a fantastic counter attacking side, with an excellent goalkeeper and stellar defence (most of the time). They got talent and anyone who thinks this is going to be a walk in the park - well, I wish I shared your optimism.

Arsenal 1 Braga 2 :cry:

This. I don't agree with everyone writing them off, think this will be a tough one.
