Can't Wait...

 

[tracertong]

If we can lose by no more than 2 goals I will consider it an achievment with all the injuries we have. :boohoo:

 

[ShearerM4]

Will be very interesting.

I usually support all British teams in Europe, apart for one (wonder why )

So hopefully Real to win this one comfortably.

 

[Sevillista]

I can't imagine Arsenal getting a good result in Madrid in the form they're in. Hopefully Reyes recovers from his injury for this match.

 

[SlowSilver]

5-0 Madrid

 

[Bobby]

Arsenal can't attack, it's gonna be boring as **** because our only option is to bunker.

If Madrid don't win, they'll never live it down, it'll like pinning a man with a gunshot wound at this point.

----------------Lehmann----------------
Eboue-----Toure-----Senderos----Clichy
Ljungberg---Fabregas----Silva-----Pires
------------Reyes----Henry--------------

 

[Vinnie Jones]

Nice game for betting, goals wise i mean

 

[Socrates]

Hopefully it will be a great game and we get a very nice win.

 

[BenBeckham]

Glichy is injuried I think.

 

[Becks is God]

Flamini will play LB probably the team should be

----------------Lehmann----------------
Eboue-----Toure-----Senderos----Flamini
Ljungberg---Gilberto--Fabregas-----Pires
------------Adebayor----Henry--------------

i would have thought with V. Persie, Bergkamp on the bench an maybe Ashley Cole and Reyes will make the bench.

 

[Bummy_JaB]

With current away form, injuries, senior players being crap; I think we are the underdogs going in. Well ANYTHING can happen in the CL and getting at least 1 away goal can give us hope. Drawing 1-1 or dare I say wining 1-0 would be a bonus.

To say we can pull off another Liverpool is ridiculous. We dont play a defensive 4-5-1. And when we do we still concede goals and play crap. So chances of winning the CL is like hitting the Lotto for the Gunners

adebayor can't play...he's cup tied. as for cole/clichy/persie they're all injured or have just begun to train so they seem quite unlikely to feature on the bench.

Here's my team:
----------Jens-------------------
Eboue-----Senderos-----Toure---Seb/Flamini
---------Diaby/Gilberto----------
-Ljungberg---Fab--'berto/diaby---hleb

-----------henry-----------------
4-5-1.

 

[Bobby]

Wenger will end up playing this

(4-5-1) Lehmann; Eboue, Toure, Senderos, Larsson; Fabregas, Flamini, Diaby, Gilberto, Pires; Henry

And the bench filled with young prodigys such as Lupoli, Bentdner, and Stokes. Also there will be Ljungberg, who will come on and play as a striker dispite only having one goal this season.

 

[Johnny_Big]

Man Arsenal's is full of injuries...they will have to bunk...but hey, I bet that Real won't break Arsenal so easily. And that Henry will do a magic trick on this one.

2-1

Robinho (x2)
Henry

 

[BenBeckham]

everthing else than a win for madrid against this injury plagued arsenal side would be surprise.

Lemon is in fine form atm so I don't expect a trashing.

put 10£ on a Becks goal in 1 of the 2 legs

 

[Deisler]

Lehman will give Real the win, just watch.

Stokes is the man! Anyway, a 1-1 draw is how I see this one ending up. Baptista will score in the 1st half, and then Diaby will tie it late.

Cheers

Baptista will score Thats going to be hard for him to do because he will be on the bench unless he comes on late ( oh yea and he has not scored a lot for us this season anyways )

I just hope the players are not overconfident. They need to be focoused and play really hard vs Arsenal.

 

[Crusad3r]

Arsenal are coming like 'victims' but they are not crap. Real Madrid is playing well, but to be honest they wasnt very very solid vs strong teams.

I bet a 3-1, 2-1 or something like that.

 

[Dhruv]

well even though arsenal has a lot of injured players still i think they can scrap a 1-1 draw coz the midfield of madrid, apart from baptista who i doubt will be in the starting lineup is, not consisting many tough tackling guys...who would go in there and create probs for arsenal. its gonna be more flowing game for arsenal i think.
