The bookies set the odds based on the bets that come in. The odds will always make favourites of the English clubs because they take more money from the English backing their own teams.
Not sure what your on about! Real Madrid are favourites to go through against Man Utd. That was my point!
Ah sorry, I have a thing about people using the bookies to show which side will win. I may have ground/grinded? my axe a little to quickly.
To be honest, it didn't really matter who we got. If we're going to win the thing we will have to beat Barca or Madrid at some stage. I say bring it on - These are the types of games that players come to Arsenal to play in, we should be relishing it. If we get a result against Bayern, it could spark our season
True, no one outside a few optimistic fans think Arsenal can win the CL anyway. They are underdogs against Bayern, so have nothing to lose really. Lose and no one will be surprised, win and its onto the next challenge. If you are so worried about losing, there is no point even being in the Competition. At the end of the day only 1 team can win the CL and better teams than Arsenal wont. Either way, it 2 games against a true European giant to be savoured. I imagine Bradford weren't devastated when they drew Arsenal in the COC but saw it as a challenge to be enjoyed regardless.
Exactly It's to be relished and enjoyed. I think we've got a chance and you can bet the players and Wenger do to. Otherwise there's no point in even turning up.
Also the first time we play in Bayern's new stadium. You want to get into this competition so you can play in stadiums like that. Let's hope our players rise to the occasion.
It should act as a real tonic for our players to know that they are going to be involved in games like this.
Afraid to say that both Arsenal and Manchester United will be taught a lesson in football. London's Only for another season.
Europa League's where it's at this year Every dick and harry's got one of those European Cups these days. Europa League Champion sounds a lot more exotic.
You would know all about that, I suppose. Losing 5-0 to Real Madrid over two legs in the CL a few years ago. Still a record defeat over two legs for an English club in the CL.
I'd rather get beat by Europe's elite than by some Eastern European side, whose name no-one can pronounce.
we heard all that sh1t when we drew Barca last season . Everyone said they would crucify us. What happened. ? We beat them . Some major egg /face removal time wasnt there ? As long as we dont lose 5 - 0 , we will have done better than spuds.
What ? No visit to the young boys this year .? No footballing challenge of the mighty shamrock rovers ? I hear some of their players have even gone pro now . spuds in a discussion about our champions league affairs. !!! Youve been in it ONCE , so your opinions are irrelevant.. Now do one .
