Very happy with this draw cant see we fail to go through
to the group stage.
However most happy with Citys draw, hope they fail big.
Go Gunners
Very tidy draw, not much traveling involved, fully expect us to progress! #afc
Good draw. But will Olympiakos be able to afford plane tickets for the away games? 😛
Good draw, should finish top of the group. No long travelling involved, so this is probably the ideal draw.
Our competitors will be fighting physically. We should sort out our goal scoring inability urgently
But CL draw did liverpool and Spurs get…
As a real gooner I think its a good draw for us. We just have to take each game as they come. However I think the team we need to watch out for in the group is schalke 04. Wenger and the guys should just take things tight at the back in the game.
Olympiacos is familiar but schalke and montepeiler will be tough .
In the CL draw who did liverpool and Spurs get ……lol
Everything seems easy on paper and in theory. Football says don’t underestimate any opponent.
Man U and Barca always get easy draw.
There are winners, there are losers and there are ‘teams (Arsenal)’ who have not yet learned how to win.
