Sanchez is likely to start Arsenal's Champions League last-16 second leg with Bayern Munich on Tuesday, with Wenger calling on the Chilean to show "total commitment" on the pitch. (Guardian) Seems a bit strange that a manager should tell the press that he expects one of his players to give 100% in an important game! If Wenger isn't certain that the player will give 100%, then he should leave him on the bench; and if he is certain that the player will give 100%, he shouldn't have to mouth-off to the press.
Good question. I think it depends on whether or not Arsenal show any ambition. Allegri seems to have made it clear that he won't touch the Arsenal job with a barge-pole, and it's uncertain whether or not Simeone is holding out for the 'Pool job. If Arsenal were lucky enough to get in someone like Hodgson or Moyes, I can see Sanchez having second thoughts about leaving. If they end up with someone like McClaren or Mark Hughes, then there's no chance.
Actually, I think Claudio Ranieri would be a good shout for Arsenal. If he can win the title with Leicester City, he should have no problems with Arsenal.
I got 3-1 on an actual victory. Be typical of Arsenal to win a match when the tie itself is dead. Anyway, I stuck a tenner on it. (William Hill)
Personally, I think Arsenal will be doing well to keep it down to 0-2, which would be a semi-respectable 1-7 on aggregate.
Apparently, Arsenal will be without Ozil. Not sure whether or not that is going to make any difference to the score.
I predict an absolute pasting. The sad reality is this Arsenal team are a million miles away from this BM team, in every position.
That is, indeed, the sad reality, Sky. I say that with a heavy heart. Nothing would give me greater joy than to Arsenal do England proud in Europe.
There will be need for wumming as we are destined to be ****ed over again. Wenger will probably bench Sanchez and Ozil to save them for the game at the weekend. We will lose 1-3 making it 8-2 overall. Wenger needs to announce soon that he is going at end of season so that a new manager can be identified. imo Hoddle would be a good shout what do you think.
He'd be a great shout, but I cannot imagine Hoddle would be so disloyal as to take the job. I think he'd rather polish his bell-end with a rusty Brillo pad, to be honest, G4E - and I'm not wumming when I say that.
