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.

“When you play against this team you know they’re going to have a lot of the ball. You have to defend well, have the lines tight and use your time when you have spaces. And you know you’re going to have spaces because they don’t want to defend. So our plan worked.”
How can we compete if our 'tactics' can be studied?
Why... that's... that's just unfair!!
That's borderline cheating for me!! Dirty foreign footballers and their planning and stuff! Fuckers.
This is what normal mangers do, prepare in every detail for the game ahead,
what the fuck does Wenger and Steve Bould (the guy who has lost the power of speech) do??

Cannot understand it all this effort getting 4th place to enter a competition so we can make a financial fast buck from the competition prize money, tv money and 3-4 homes games

If we assume Bayern win at home to Olympiakos and away at Zagreb, then the worst scenario is that either Zagreb or Olympiakos win home and away against the other.
That would leave one of them on 9pts, meaning we'd need at least 3pts (ideally 4pts) from Bayern to stand a chance, so a win against Bayern is looking like a must. 2 wins probably won't be necessary though.
It's possible. In fact, I think we'll do it - win the home game, lose away then beat the other 2 in the group (before getting dumped out in the last 16 )
