I honestly won't be surprised if we lose to Fener. We are always terrible to start the season and we usually wait until the end of the transfer window to do something...which would be after the matchup with Fener has already taken place.

You can still hope that Fener gets thrown out of the competition.

Semi final is definitely.possible...they have talent on both ends off the pitch....just a matter.how they grow together as a team. I dont think they are ready to win it all, though.

I thought they outplayed Barca during their tie last year but Messi was hobbled I think. Too young to win it all with Marquinhos, Digne, Verrati, Moura still pups but I think they can make a go at it.

It is not entirely impossible that they make the final but there are completely different animals out there. Bayern, Real and Barcelona with a healthy Messi + a squad motivated to make up for last years disastrous loss to Bayern.

I would say PSG is still a season or two away from being an absolute favourite.

Agreed. The four semi-finalists all got better this summer.

I do think PSG will take over that 6th spot behind BVB, Bayern, Real, Barca and Juve. Cavani-Ibra are just going to be absurd, with Thiago Silva corralling a great defense with a strong midfield in front of them PSG should be a big team in Europe with matchups being the big determinant of whether they go out in the QF or final.

I think the ruling with fener comes after the tie , and we're probably going to miss arteta for both legs which is pretty bad and puts us in an ugly place.

Thank god they don't have to play in the Ukraine. They would get destroyed like Wolfsburg destroyed them yesterday.

The team looks so clueless under Keller. Individually, they have a capable team in place but for whatever reason they can't defend a slalom pole. It doesn't help either that Hildebrand is terrible.

While Holdebrandt should've held one of those goals, he did also steal another two, if not three goals off of the line.

And Celtic Glasgow easily beats FC Shakhter Karagandy to surely advance to the CL group stages...not.

2-0 loss in Kazakhstan. :lol:

PSV look much better than Milan despite the scoreline. Shame Bakkali isn't available

Seferovic had another amazing goal off the volley in the second half.

Nasty boot to the face for Koscielny. Hope he's alright.

Fenerbahce are awful, can't string two passes together.

C'mon get your Dirk Kuyt out

Nice move from Arsenal. 1-0 up.

Post #37 » by **Baphomet** » Wed Aug 21, 2013 7:58 pm

Szczesny down now, think he's alright though. Are Arsenal becoming the Portland Trailblazers of football or something?

These guys really only finished 10 points behind the almighty Galatasaray? Did they lose a few world class players this summer or something?

Somewhere in New York City...our hero Massimo is probably smiling for the first time about something related to Olivier Giroud. 3-nil to the Arsenal!

Do the names

Gaziantepspor, Genclerbirligi or Akhisar Belediyespor ring a bell to you? That's who they play week after week.
