Pretty much the team. Only Rosicky will start in place of Ox and Frimpong will play.

Surprised any of youse give a toss about this game. We're in a competition we have no chance of winning, we are the Charlton of the CL: guaranteed to be in it almost every year but absolutely zero chance of winning a bean. We've got our £25 mil, job done. Like Charlton though, we're about to fall out of it, I can hardly wait to visit Bratislava in the Europa League next year!
:oops:
Crap match between two mediocre teams. About as interesting as watching Stoke v Blackburn.

Mind you we beat Bolton handsomely, so now we can take on Barca or Madrid. In Arsene We Trust.
:roll:

So you think we will qualify for the Europa lge? That's unusually positive thinking from you. :lol:

No TX for ST holders to offload their tickets for this one.

I wonder how many ST holders will bother to turn up.

The "attendance" figures will be getting a boost tonight

Looking at the home games coming up there is nothing on there to get me excited so I will continue to watch from afar.

Spuds and the Chavs away games are the only ones I would get out of bed for and that's with the expectation that draws would be a fantastic result in each of those.

We are odds on favourites for tonight - it doesn't feel like it but another clean sheet and 3 points have to be used by AW to boost the low morale of supporters and players alike.

LMFAO

IT'S BECAUSE OF THE RECESSION!
(Old Trafford was sold out last night btw and Valencia have sold out Mestalla too. Did I mention Madrid was a full house and that the Spanish economy is in even bigger shite than ours!)

:shock:

I think we will qualify via the Fair Play league. Don't laugh, I am well aware of our red cards to date but you see, those were 'special circumstances'.

I feel with a little bit extra quality, that we will not use the handbrake for our discipline and you will see our spirit and determination to win the FPL. You can see that Sonia Tatar was a little bit physically jaded after our spanking session but that with extra rest she will be ready to dominate. You also need to remember I have Abou Diaby out and he will be back soon. Thanks for reading.

There are no food shortages, definitely no Yank Tanks near Baghdad

Comical Arsene
:D

I expect us to win at home but as the United game proved last night, take a team lightly at your peril in the Champions League. Plus I really hope if we need Chamakh (a barn door) to come on he doesn’t refuse. That would be really embarassing… ! Oh City, you can buy all the players in the world but you can never buy class.

Till the next time. Enjoy the game all! RED ARMY!!

I can't shake the feeling that we're gonna get bitten on the arse tonight. Looks like AW will field a pretty weak side (when will he learn?!) and I think a lot of people are underestimating this Olympiakos side.

Hope I'm wrong of course.

I don't think we have an option to field a 'weak side'.
With the amount of injuries there is likely to be only one team that's ready to be picked.

Don't know about the injuries, looks to me that Kos and Gervinho have "injuries" . Wenger can't go on the presser and say - I think olyimpiacos are shite and i'll be resting some players.

Looks like an act more then anything else

Olympiacos at home should be the easiest match on this group but with our recent defensive display, we shouldn't be underestimating other clubs.. when will wenger learn?
