CL: Borusia Dortmund Match Thread

The way I see it we go in with no expectations then we wont be disappointed. We know Dortmund have some quality players in their ranks and if they perform well they will win but we can relax knowing that getting anything from this game would be a bonus and nothing more.

Im quite relaxed about it to be honest.

We'll win tonight, Dortmund are not a great team and they won the league last year because much like the PL, the Bundesliga was very weak last year.

After winning tonight, All the AKB's will be chirping and puffing their chests out exalting the wanker in charge of our team and of course we'll fail to beat Blackburn and Wenger the *word censored* will tell us all how the players are tired because of Europe. Nothing changes, we'll still mess up top place in our group from being complacent and we'll still finish up outside the top 4, and still it will be the 'boards' fault according to many.

if you think about it, it is a very new team.
obviously hoping for a good victory without conceeding.

Song aside, I'm looking forward to actually seeing how this midfield/Attack lines up tonight. Obviously in a perfect world Jack would be there, but willbe great to see something fresh for once.

Wenger cant lose tonight can he..

Win and he will be hailed a hero by the press for sending out telepathic brilliance from the stand.

Lose and it was because he wasn't on the bench to help..

Personally i cant see us getting anything from tonight's game as our confidence seems shot to bits.. I 8 - 2 think we could get another humiliation

If we play like we did on Saturday we are fucked !

4-5-1 or 4-3-3 (whatever youâ€™d like to call it)
With an attacking 4 of Gervinho, Walcott, Arteta and Van Persie is a good calibre of players and a perfect formation for an away trip in the Champions League

I think someone said that both Goetze and Barrios were being rested during Dortmund's match on Saturday, in order to prepare for the match on Tuesday. However, I read yesterday that Goetze was serving out a suspension, and Barrios has a slight injury and might not return to play Arsenal. Not sure the truth in that

so what do you want him to do?
sit on a celestial vehicle and float around the top whilst the match is being played and he can shout at the players from there.

2-1 to the Arsenal

BvB has all the possession and attempts but lack a killer instinct,reminds me of a certain team

Will be an entertaining match as they play a similar style of football.

Ive got an idea

How about he sits in the stand with a mobile phone giving instructions to Pat Rice
