Let's hope we avoid Tel Aviv at all cost. Imagine going over there and spending 10+ hours on the journey

by Jay29 Wed Aug 26, 2015 9:45 pm

Likewise Astana and the epic trip to Kazakhstan.

If we're to get a big team from Pot 1, I hope it's either Juventus or PSG, just for something different. We haven't played Juventus in a decade, and haven't played PSG at all.

I suppose we'll want Sevilla, Lyon or Roma from Pot 3 to keep the amount of travelling we need to do down.

My Ideal draw

Juventus
Arsenal
Lyon
BMG

by Jay29 Wed Aug 26, 2015 10:24 pm

Good news: our cup game against Spurs is on Sky Sports as expected.

Will be on either the 22nd or 23rd of September.

Wouldn't mind us having a go at the Europa League without having to finish outside the top 4 in the league so finishing 3rd in a CL group of death seems a good alternative to the usual knockout game where we get smashed by some random team.

Group F with Bayern.....

by urbaNRoots Thu Aug 27, 2015 5:25 pm

And Olympiacos.

Meh.

by El Gunner Thu Aug 27, 2015 5:27 pm

These draws are so typical. Sleep

Might as well do it behind close doors.

by getdarker Thu Aug 27, 2015 5:27 pm

Olympiakos also in group F

by getdarker Thu Aug 27, 2015 5:40 pm

And Gnk Dynamo

by Jay29 Thu Aug 27, 2015 5:40 pm

Bayern, Olympiacos and Dinamo Zagreb.

So another second placed finish, then. Which means Barcelona in the R16. Meh.

Last three times we've gone to Olympiacos, we've lost. Laughing

Glad we got a challenge in the group stages.

by Sina Thu Aug 27, 2015 5:49 pm

Pep to teach us a few lessons
but 2nd spot is locked for us

lets see how the schedule will look like

by Raptorgunner Thu Aug 27, 2015 6:41 pm

Interesting draw, Second place wont be easy this time.

by RealGunner Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:01 pm

Shit group

Bayern
Arsenal
Olympiacos

by Sri Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:02 pm

by Raptorgunner Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:58 pm

Have a bad feeling about Dinamo Zagreb. Laughing

Back in the day, we would eat teams like Zagreb, now who knows which Arsenal team would show up? :whistle:

Imo, we wont get more than 10 points in this group. Home and away Bayern could break us.
