    My main concern is that we have played poorly for the last two games and now have to play the two toughest teams in the league.

    If we play like that against ManCity we will get spanked.

    Also, the CL is way tougher now. Before, you could have possibly got an easy tie even in the quarter-finals, but now there are quality teams everywhere. We can't avoid them, simple as that, because sooner or later you have to face the music in this competition and see what you are made of.

    Also, both sides were complacent because they considered themselves through.

    Bayern in particular, rested players

    So basically it's just Kyle who's being negative, but that's not really a surprise.

    The rest of us seem to be saying 'bring it on' which is exactly the right attitude we're going to need to progress.

    to be fair we didnt play poorly against Everton .

    It was a tough game .
    They were right on form and we got a point out of it.
    Tonites game was dissappointing from a tactical viewpoint... and Arteta had enough warnings , the dullard , he could have cost us dearly tonite and i hope he gets a fecking rocket .

    Even Wenger wont underestimate the potential for a loss against City .

    I have no worries on that front.

    Also, Napoli should be kicking themselves tonight. When they scored, they had us on the ropes and instead of going for it and getting the 3-0, they backed off and hoped that the ****ing useless OM would do them a favour. Oh dear.

    Thierry Henry reckons A. Madrid are the team to avoid for us.

    One thing you can be sure of is that the teams we could face will be hoping to avoid us and get an easier opponent.

    How did Dortmund consider themselves to be through you utter moron? They were on 6 points at that stage.
    Oh and tell me which players Bayern rested for our game against them?

    No pressure at all on us in the champs league, I would have swapped going out tonight for 3 points against city

    Arsenal and City are the two teams to avoid from the second pot.

    I reckon City wont be going balls out for the win either , they will be saying to themselves , dont lose here , get the points off the dross teams later , a point here will do nicely .

    EC is just being a dozy ****ing damp clunge, because he can't accept that Arsenal won in Munich and Dortmund whilst the Chavs lost home and away to Basel.

    Walcott playing regularly maybe, coming back from injury, possibly not.

    I think they'll play like they did against utd and spuds, try and have the game won early and then just stroll around for 60 mins
