Re: European and Domestic Cups Thread

[McAgger]

If you don't top this group you've got yourself to blame. Walk in the park.

[MJ]

Right back at you with yours, James.

[RealGunner]

It's better than last year at least

Should get 6 points against Anderlecth. 3 against Gala home and 1 against Dortmund home/Away or Gala away. 10 should be enough

Confident we will go through. Hopefully we get revenge against Dortmund at home this time.

[Jay29]

Fixtures:

13/09 - Manchester City (h)
16/09 - Borussia Dortmund (a)
20/09 - Aston Villa (a)
23/09 - Southampton (h) (COC)
27/09 - Spurs (h)
1/10 - Galatasaray (h)

Think they've worked out quite well this time.

[MJ]

Very tricky start.

[Sri]

We got Dortmund from pot 2. I imagine I will be there

Urbi, I want to be there too.. Can you help me with tickets? Maybe I can join you?? I have to plan my travel from here soon as I get my hands on tickets..

[Raptorgunner]

Good draw imo, should be fun vs Dortmund again, really loved both games.

[Sina]

oh and Gala away on last matchday in december
we best have got the job done by then

Of course, if I'm there I'll write and help with tickets. 16/09 seems a bit tricky though, I hope I can manage. I was hoping the away game would be a bit later this year.

Yeah.. it's the first game I guess.. And BVB tickets are always such a pain to get!.. I even found train tickets and think I will let my boss know tomorrow that I might take a couple of days off.. If I somehow get my hands on a ticket, I will be set!

My alternative is to look for tickets for Anderlecht on Oct 22, but this is more complicated..

[SamuelJayC]

Pleased with the draw. Could have been a lot worse, could have been slightly better.

Dortmund, we know, are a class side, capable of beating anyone. Galatasray edged out Juve at this stage last season, we must be wary, even without Drogba. Anderlecht have failed to reach knockouts in their previous 7 attempts, we have to be beating them home and away.

We ought to be finishing 1st/2nd and qualifying, need it confirmed by last-day game: Galatasaray (a).

[Peccadillo]

Happy enough with the draw. It's not especially easy or hard. Could've been a lot worse - only have to look at group E to realise that.

[RealGunner]

Would have preferred another elite team like Juventus instead of Dortmund tbh. Bit bored of the German side.

[Peccadillo]

What so we can come 2nd and face Bayern in R16?

[RealGunner]

Please. We will face them anyways. bayern will finish 2nd in their group if we finish 1st in ours. And Vice Versa.

[EL Patron]

Looks like the cup is the only thing which can save our miserable season again

[El Gunner]

As always, a lower league team at home pls.

[SamuelJayC]

Lower league team at home please.

*Awaits Chelsea (a)*

[Jay29]

Got a home draw against Hull City, of all teams. First teams out the hat.

Other ties:

Burnley vs Spurs
Accrington/Yeovil vs Man Utd
Man City vs Sheff Wed
Everton vs West Ham
Chelsea vs Watfrod

[El Gunner]

Arsenal vs Hull City
satisfied with that tbh.

[EL Patron]

doesn't get any easier than that, on paper and form we should smash them but then again when you look at our form this season its worrying.

[Jay29]

Champions League knockout draw is next Monday. The teams we can draw:

Bayern Munich
Atletico Madrid
Real Madrid
PSG/Barcelona (they play each other tomorrow)
Monaco
Porto

[RealGunner]

R16 exit

nah seriously. Madrid, Barca, Bayern are definite threat. No hope against any unless some sort of miracle

Atletico, Monaco, Porto (or PSG if barca finish 2nd) are the ones we can actually do well against.

[Sina]

we deserve a kind draw this time
why the f is the draw on Monday morning

[RealGunner]

It got changed to monday? wat
