I'd be annoyed to draw Barcelona again I must say, it would be nice to go a little further in it after all the heroics of getting out of the group, and I think we can beat all the other opponents.

brianregan09 · 10-12-2015 03:04PM

We get out of the last 16 we'll probably draw Bayern again lol and after last year we've heard the players mention a few times this year even Giroud last night that there under no illusions about who they get drawn against and **** Wolfsburg I watched them against United and they are a good side

Zenit also pissed a pretty tough group too

ronjo · 10-12-2015 03:11PM

We still havent played a Europa League game

DenMan · 10-12-2015 05:19PM

Hope Monaco beat the Spuds tonight!

:pac:

Mr Blobby · 10-12-2015 05:20PM

Na let them go as far as possible. It'll hinder their league performance.

Bobby Baccala · 10-12-2015 06:30PM

Sanogo not even on the bench for Ajax against Molde (whoever the fúck they are)

Is he injured or just shíte?

****e.. Just ****e.
But he does bring the chaos factor. You stick him on when you're chasing a game, and he'll run around and confuse defenders while falling over.

I could probably even do a better job at that than he does!

One of Wengers most bizarre signings well not so much the signing but the thrown him straight into the first team so quick.

Mirror saying wanyama is our number one transfer target this januarary

What I have learned from coq,Campbell and that is even though I don't think Sanogo will make it here I just wouldn't write it off yet

Wenger must see something in him in training that is promising. Whether it's pressure, lack of experience or something else, he can't translate it in matches. I'd imagine Wenger is far from giving up on him just yet, even though Akpom and others are now on the horizon. He looks like he could be the same player Ighalo is now I would say.

Wenger on Ozil:

"His timing is perfect - when he has to give the ball, he gives the ball. It's just a pleasure to see

It struck me [first seeing him] he was at such a young age but the boy could time his passing always right

First time I saw him was at Werder Bremen. He was playing left wing & I could see straight away, he was a special player"

Also what struck me was that it was not forced on an individual basis - the team play was in front of his ego

So I decided to sign Mesut but he chose Real Madrid. He called me & said 'Sorry' & I found that very well educated

Not many players call you after, it stayed with me & convinced me that if I can ever get this guy, I'll have to take it."

Lovely quote from Arsene.

Typical Arsene really.

Yeah. Class acts the two of them. Of course, we badly need to win the league this season to make it all count for something, but Ozil is just a pleasure to watch these days. His ball for Ramseys assist in Athens is a thing of sheer beauty...in fact he provided the other assist to the assist and also unlocked the defence leading up to the penalty.

5star02707 · 11-12-2015 09:28AM

So it was true then! I woke up this morning thinking this is another story made up by Goal.com

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2015/12/10/18210932/revealed-the-moment-ozil-crushed-wengers-dream?ICID=TP_TNM_ART_2

now that's finalized. It's really great that Wenger has eye for young and upcoming stars, even before these player becomes the great player they are today!

Zenit lost to Gent the other night, so I don't fear them very much.

Only downside about drawing them, if it happens, is the team having to travel to Russia midweek.

ahem
Zenit lost a dead rubber game, they were already qualified as groupd leaders, in fact they were going for 6 wins out of 6, something only 3 teams have ever done before in qualifying.
Zenit were also going for a record equaling 11points winning margin....

so Id be wary of Zenit.

11-12-2015 10:30AM

They're also 6th in their domestic league. Having a bit of a Chelsea of a season

"With Wilshere, Welbeck, and Rosicky all due back early in the new year, the LANS will be off the charts."

Their group was terrible, you're going on as if they're Real Madrid. They're having an average season so far in an extremely weak league. Wouldn't worry about them at all.

Ah yeah, I'd like to think Wenger and the team learned from their mistakes against Monaco last year

Also st Petersburg is not exactly a cosy spot to play football in February

He ripped the team apart in the first half an hour with his chaotic movement! The Bayern players didn't know what was coming!

Bet Ozil would be amazing in St Petersburg in February.

Cos that's what he does, baby.

I dunno. Norwich the other day had Monaco written all over it. Sunderland or West Brom weren't much better.
