Champions League - 2017/18

[Marty]

Hopefully we get Madrid when they've already won the group

Madrid at home on December 5th or 6th would be great, yeah. The only CL fixture I can go to is the one that week, so as long as it isn't away in Cyprus ...

 

[mark87]

So it'll be Ronaldo vs trippier. Hmmmmmm

 

[Marty]

Hapoel is Cypriot? I assumed it was Tel Aviv

Hapoel is Tel Aviv. But we've drawn APOEL from Cyprus.

Loving that draw! Realistically we're not going to win the CL, but the glamour ties make it worth while being in it. If we progress even better. If we don't then it's ok. Meanwhile packed out Wembley. And imagine if you're a transfer target umming and ahh'ing about whether to sign and you see you're going to get four matches against those two this season! If I was Sessignon, or Barkley, or whoever I'd be "Where do I sign? I want some of that!"

It's hard to realistically expect qualification in that group. I would prepare to join Arsenal in the Europa after Christmas.

 

[Chimbo1]

Who did Arsenal get?

Wasn't excited about the champions league last year. Our group felt like the Europa league but with more pressure.


This feels like like the first time again.

So it'll be Ronaldo vs trippier. Hmmmmmm

Exactly, Ronaldo doesn't stand a chance.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Harry Kane definitely will love the ties I'm sure

 

[dirtyh]

the lads will be buzzing and it's a wonderful stage for us regardless. fuck it, bring em on.

 

[ilikeost]

I fucking love it! It's not like we stand a chance of winning the CL so I'd prefer to see us up against some great teams and not the likes of Sevilla and Basel or whatever.

 

[SugarRay]

Absolutely chuffed with that draw!

It's what this tournament is all about. The top 3/4 teams in Europe right now are so far ahead of the rest that it's almost impossible to see a winner from outside that few. Even beyond them, there's another couple who are better than every English side in it.

Tottenham v Real Madrid. Love it.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Taxi for Ronaldo!!!

 

[SonicSarr]

Hapoel is Tel Aviv. But we've drawn APOEL from Cyprus.

Was getting live updates and it said Happoel. Bloody interweb!

 

[Danfunkel]

Buzzing. Gotta play the good teams to be in it.

Hopefully we really do take it seriously this time. Full strength teams!

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Happy with the draw, think our record against real and dortmund over recent times is played 4 lost 4 so it's a chance to see if we can do better. Big ties are what the CL is all about. Can't wait.

 

[Pink_Floyd]

Harry Kane definitely will love the ties I'm sure

Glad we're not playing them in August

 

[SugarRay]

The two games against Apoel are must wins. Hopefully win both those and nick a draw in one of the games against Dortmund.

Nick a draw? Maybe aim for that in the away game at Dortmund. We can beat them. Fuck it, we can beat Real if everything goes our way in a one off game.

Guys, I'm looking for Arsenals group. Has there been an error?
