Champions League Round of 16 fixtures

That was close...

Ramsey in place for Giroud is a crazy decision from Wenger. Should bring in Giroud and shift Walcott to the right. Walcott's pace should cause Bayern some problems.
 
How do you do that ?

Barca have become the best team in spain by Default this season ?

There are still 4 spanish teams competing in Europe.

With Arsenal 2 away goals down and yet to go back to the Allianz Arena you could argue we are the only English team left in Europe.
 
More boos ring out around the Emirates.
 
"Boooooooooooooo........ Come on Arsenal, Come on Arsenal"

Make your mind up
 
feck me they're good. They may not be in Barca's league but I prefer watching this kind of football to tiki-taka. It's United football.

Exactly.

I hate saying this as I have disliked them forever but Bayern is a team we should aspire to be.

Though that'll require midfielders and we don't buy them.
 
this game actually isn't much fun. Bayern just about killed it with those goals and as Arsenal don't seem to possess a spine I don't hold out much hope for the second half.
 
They look impenetrable at the back and ruthless in attack. And a midfield of Schweinsteiger and Martinez protecting them and also contributing in attack. Not sure how you beat that.
 
Arsenal are shit.
Sir Chesney is not very good.
Bayern are pretty good.

Really felt sad for the Arsenal fans out there.They pay a lot of money to watch a bunch of fannies who resort to hacking opponents when they've outclassed them.
Bayern Munich ... What a team
 
Do you have a mind reading device? I mean, Christ, how do you guys come up with this mental strength stuff?

In fairness that was Arsene's fault. In fact his theory that mental strength would materialise just by saying it over and over caused this. It was actually Arsene that identified the lack of testicles early on.
 
The balance in midfield makes them. It's incredible, Schweinsteiger is the type of player every top team should have.

He's just the complete player for the central midfield position.

You could also argue Valencia needs a miracle judging by the 1st game to get through.

Everything's open for the other 3, although I don't have a bad feeling about our chances against Real, and so far Porto are clearly the better side against Malaga, so it might just end up 1 for each country after this round.
Meanwhile Germany will have 2 teams almost certainly, with the 3rd one having as good a chance as they could hope for (draw wise) against Galatasaray.
 
Seeing Arsenal so far off the pace is a bit depressing. They need to put up a better fight for English football.

Bayen look quite merciless at times. They look like men on a mission.
