Sorry i meant to say performance wise they were the worst. Obviously teams Zilina are worse..

[dalitis8]

...in fact Basel,Kopenhavn,Cluj,Partizan,Hapoel and especially Zilina...are all probably much weaker...

alright...I did not watch the game...maybe they were all over the place...I think that the only team that can probably test Arsenal in that group is Shaktar....

The fact that Arsene always make sure you are a team of squad players and teenagers to use it as an excuse when he fail this year (or the next or ..etc ) makes your fact very irrelevant
Every year we hear "this is our year " in August.. and we all know what happen later on
for the last 5 years you've been told and you've repeated that you have a young team.. the fact that they never grow up didn't cross your mind ?
he keeps shipping out anyone who grows up so u can still have have this youthful , promising team that wins nothing

youve taken my post totally out of context

anyway our team is older and more experienced now theyre not kids any more they have to deliver trophies there can be no excuses

whats your excuse eh them 5 years you aint done better than us in the champs league have ya whats it been like 7 years since you out lasted us with a net spend bigger than our gross spend...youve had more managers than trophies in that time yeah you have been just as crap as us actually crapper

[yusuf]

lol, good point but at least they have some trophies and beastie is right about wenger shipping people out every year

and you saying the kids are grown up and the have to win trophies...seems like de ja vu ever year for me and do you honestly believe that a measly half a year has given you a chance to win the CL??? or am i misunderstanding by you saying winning trophies by the FA cup or the carling cup

[koko]

yeah this is the champions league thread though and its the only competition we both play in so the only one its fair to comapre us in on a level playing field

and i dunno if we can win the champions league this year probably not but you never know what the route to the final will be could be impossibly hard or could be relatively easy and if you can get to the final anything can happen the only teams i would fear would be barca or chelsea

as for the league i think chelsea will win it but you never know....i dont like to really make predictions on if we will win this or that so early in the season lets play some big teams first and see how we do then we can better know if we are good enough

Fair enough mate. I honestly think Arsenal are a quarters maybe semi's club but not quite ready win it yet. However, funny things happen. Look at 2004, i think, when Porto and Monaco contested the final

[Sultan]

saturday was a bad day for cl teams.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Inter, Tottenham, Byern, Lyon lost.
real, and few others drew.

[FCBarca]

Spartak Moscow up on Zilna...Ari Gold with a brace, so far

[Metaphysical]

milan bring back the diamond...that should be very interesting.

[barcetia]

1 defensive midfielder against ajax with their disasterous defending? im predicting a massacre with a ibra saviour late game..

[woobie]

Um. Flamini and Gattuso together only count as one player? Looks like 2dms to me.

but it's a diamond formation as meta said? or is a regular 4-4-2

[woobie]

It's a diamond, yep. But unless Allegri has a really mutant version of play to go by, both Flamini and Gattuso will/should play as DMs.

[Metaphysical]

it's old-school milan.

well, I hope it will be.

pirlo at the #5, flanked by rino and flam, and then seedorf at the #10.

[Trequartista]

No Boateng?
