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.
Well as its nearly Friday and quite quiet on here, what scheme do you think Platini will come up with to keep the English teams together in the draw ( heavy balls )
i think
A side.......................................................... B side
Arsenal v Porto...................................... Chavs v Barcelona
Bayern v Villarreal..................................Liverpool v Mancs
Think i maybe a bit bias

After the result at the weekend it would be pretty funny for the mancs to draw the bin-dippers. I personally think all 4 english teams will be drawn against each other in the 1/4's with the 2 winners playing each other in the semi's. Can't see UEFA allowing the possibility of another all-english final

Don't want to piss on your parade but it quiet because the Irish clan on here, which is around half of the members , are getting pissed. Whilst the others realise that this is the calm before the storm.
We're playing hulll tonight so they'll be serveral threads tonight and in the morning on that plus the usual Eboue & Bendtner 'were shit' mutiple thread regardless whether they played or not.
I'd be suprised if this was still on the front page by then. Sorry.
That if Spuddy hasn't deleted it.

Na, we can bump this tomorrow and thursday then he can delete the others
It really is going to be messy on here tonight isn't it! Bet it'll be quiet again tomorrow though!
I wish anyone but Porto or Villareal, we allways showed amture when playing against big teams, but the players will think the same playing against a weaker team and they will lose.

That's exactly what I said a couple of weeks ago.
I can see us meeting the chavs (london derby) whilst the mancs play the bin dippers (northwest derby). Both games would be good for revenues and would ensure only one team gets to the final. UEFA stated last year that they would not want a repeat of an all English final as they lost a lot of money through some countries not taking their television broadcasts etc.
The only way it won't happen is if they realise how obvious it would be. I can see them taking a chance with a club that they don't think will progress further than the next round i.e. us! It could be something like this
it's the old trick where they make for example the english clubs balls hot and the others cold or not altering them thus whoever is picking knows basically who is who.
