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.
ps: As we come to each game I'll Change The Heading of this thread to that Games Date/Time/Venue etc, so that there's No Need to set up separate threads all over the place.
With our record against other English clubs being so utterly shite I hope to fuck we don't bump into them.In no way am I saying they're better than us cos I'm not but we were far better than the chavs in 04 and the dippers in 08 and we got cocked by both of those.
I’ve really wanted to win this trophy since we first dropped into the competition, to get a European trophy under our belts and cross this one off the list.
Looking back I think we fucked our best chance in our first season when Atletico were down to 10 men for most of the home semi final, we should have buried them that night but missed loads of chances and allowed them a lifeline at the end.
We no showed the final against the chavs, I’m not sure what happened in the build up that week but all was not right in the camp.
But after the chaos of yesterday my attitude to this competition has completely changed. The squad looks like it’s really stretched again, ESR is miles off being match fit and will take time get back up to speed (as will Jesus when he returns).
If Trossard has done his groin it’s another massive blow, we need Eddie to come back in and go on a run of scoring like he did at the turn of the year but seemingly his ankle is fucked now too. We’re starting to look light again so I’d go full blown Stiffs R Us in this one and have 2 separate teams - a European 11 and the league team.
I think we should have enough to get past sporting with a second string anyway, although who we’d play up front is anyone’s guess.
