Braga away

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.

Then we'll hear all the old soundbites about "our great consistency in the CL", "only one other team has got through the Group stage every year for 10 years", "great reaction to the disappointment", "mental strength".

We'll then beat Villa 0-1......everyone with half a brain (Louder can you hear me ?) will say how ungrateful we all are and how we're getting closer, and the GIC is a hero and there's no other man for the job.....

Then Fulham will beat us 0-1 at the bowl and claim their first away win since Johnny Haynes' day.....
Hearing him saying that riles me instantly, I dont care if we qualify from the group stage every year, if we dont win the tournament it means nothing! Maybe something for the board and their books. *word censored*, the lot of them.

shit away from home?

after beating blackburn, citeh, wolves and everton? :?
So what? Apart from city away (who had 10 men for practically the whole game!) we should be beating the other mugs away from home easily! who the fuck are blackburn, wolves and everton anyway? you sound like getting results away at these "fortresses" is a fantastic result but cast your mind back a few years and we ALWAYS got results at these places!

They are not easy places to go to, even though we thrashed wolves last season there, we lost to blackburn. Chelsea and man utd also dropped a couple points there.

Fabianski
Sagna
Gibbs
Squillaci
Djourou
Song
Jack
Cesc
Walcott
Rvp
Nasri

SUBS: Szczesny Eboue Denilson Koscielny Rosicky Chamakh Arshavin

Walcott, Gibbs and RVP need playing time and Arshavin and Chamakh need a break,

Should win easy, but a draw will do. 3-0 :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

Not on Tuesday there's not.

Are we certain that the trains will be down on Wednesday anyway? I can't find any official info about that...

EDIT: Just translated this http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?vgne ... 01a8c0RCRD & it says there "might be disruptions". Fingers crossed...

After yesterday I no longer give a shit how we do on Tuesday as we all know that we'll be out of it in March anyway. I hope those travelling don't give us a rendition of one Arsene Wenger or I think my foot may go through the TV. :banghead:

If there's an air strike, there might be a chance the players get stuck there and we don't have to see the likes of Denilson and Koscielny
at Villa next week.
