    The gift that keeps on giving :biggrin:

    But no seriously, Groundhog day? 19 years and Wenger's approach is still so so so naive it's unreal. It was like Olympiakos were just toying with them tonight.

  2. What worries me, Treble, is the humiliating spanking they are going to take from Bayern! It's going to be a horror show!

    Arsenal must be worried, they play Englands greatest team Sunday and they have already lost to relegation fodder of Chavbus.

    Was there ever a challenge in the 1st place?

    They're there to make the numbers up, every year. The sooner it get's to 3 teams the better imho.

    Be careful, Pixie was saying last season that anyone who thinks Wenger can't win a European Cup is stupid

  12. Extreme right-wing Wenger-apologists, whom PIXIE typifies, a looking a bit silly, these days.

    Yep. He was saying it would be a stupid thing to say Wenger could never win the EC

    Would it be a stupid thing to say that he hasn't won a European competition in about 25 attempts?
    He's currently 2 behind Juande Ramos on that front.

    Has he never won a European trophy? Even at Monaco?

    Wow.

    Apparently he is the first manager to lose 50 Champions League matches. Special

    Arsenal are traditionally a very parochial club with no history of European football.

    West Ham have a richer history
