Come on you Gooners.

 

Time to take on the best team in the world. *gulp*

 

Going to be a big one
I'd go with
Chez
Sagna BFG Kos Gibbs
Flam SJW10
Rozza/Ozil
Oxo Giroud Pod

 

FFS Jack the Liverpool game has only been over a few hours.You're getting worse than a certain Man Utd poster

 

The games are coming thick and fast, and so are the match threads. The Sunderland one is already in the offing.

 

Don't you ****ing dare

 

Not really bothered what happens to be honest. If we somehow beat them then great, if not then we can concentrate of the games that matter

 

I'd go with:

Shez

Gibbs
Mert
Kos
Sagna

Flamini
Arteta

Podolski
Ozil
OXO

Giroud

 

Arteta's banned

 

Oh ****, Wilshere is too lightweight for me to play as a deep lying midfielder, he gets bullied off the ball too easily, and Munich have very strong players, I'd rather have Rosicky along Flamini rather than Wilshere.

 

You aren't bothered about the Champions League and you think it doesn't matter?? Small team mentality right there!!

 

Well I do think that game matters, biggest game of the season for us, can't wait.

 

As you should, playing in the greatest club competition against arguably the greatest team right now!! These are the games that you remember!!

 

Wilshere will start, otherwise he would have been playing today

 

Our chances of winning this competition are slim. There's two other competitions we're involved in where we have a real chance.

So no, if we go out against Bayern Munich, it won't really be a big deal. It won't be for a season or two that we'll be able to seriously compete in this competition.

 

We have a good record against Bayern and with our defence looking better on the weekend, we have a decent chance of getting a favourable result this week. Where has Bendtner disappeared to? He has to be a better option than an inexperienced Sanogo? Also Giroud is experiencing personal problems so it could be a good idea to drop him completely?

 

Wouldn't mind seeing Sanogo start and Bendy on the bench. Bayern won't know what to expect from Sanogo & it appears Wenger rates him higher than Bendy, which isn't surprising as Bendy is definitely off in summer.

 

Yes but Bendy has a knack of scoring vital goals and to have any chance against Bayern, we really need to score. It would be asking too much of our defence to not concede home and limit them away.

 

I'd take a boring 0-0 like the game against Utd in this one and try and nick it with an away goal in Munich
