European and Domestic Cups Discussion 2016/2017

Not only that, then there's this BS with certain teams from big nations having to play on different match days due to the TV stations, which often grossly distorts the so called draw.

We play Bayern again... boring af.

This is Bayern's fault tbh. Finished 2nd on purpose because they knew they would get Arsenal again.

Seriously though, this "luck" is ridiculous. If we had finished 2nd we would have drawn Barca ffs. It's always Barca or Bayern.

We'll have to see what shape both teams are in come the end of February but I'm not particularly optimistic about progression. Beating them at the Emirates will be difficult enough, nevermind avoiding being stuffed at their place.

At least we play away first.

I mean the law averages means you are abound to beat them eventually. they are not very good this year and you are better than before so why not this season.

The draw is a joke, we all knew we would face Bayern.

There is no such thing as 'law of averages' - thats scientifically proven to be a BS argument

More like it's gambler's fallacy.

We've drawn away to either Southampton or Norwich in the 4th round of the FA Cup.

We've drawn Sutton United away in the FA Cup 5th round.

Sutton United play in the Conference, on an artificial pitch in front of about 4,000 fans. They knocked out Leeds in the previous round.

This will be the biggest game in Sutton's history.

What could possibly go wrong?

Right after the Bayern game

Can't wait for the 93rd minute offside winner from Wele

Got to be kidding ffs

The only possibly easier draw could have been ..... playing Sutton at home.

Remember Craig Eastmond? He plays for Sutton United

Sutton's stadium has a capacity of 5,000 and 95% of that is standing.

We just need to treat it like any other game against lower league opposition. Forget the fact they're "non-league" and play them as we would any other professional team. Turning up with the expectation that we'll stick eight past them is how accidents happen.

Hopefully we don't send a squad full of U23 players either.

If we beat Sutton tomorrow, we'll play Lincoln City (top of the National League) in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

loooooooooooooooooooooooool

Dis gonna b embarrassing.

Arsenal Vs City

It's Chelsea in the final then. Oh well.

The 2018 UEFA Europa League Final will be played at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu, France.



looking forward to win it imo

We are favourites going into the competition. That's a new.

would have been genuinely excited by Europa League Adventure if we appointed new Manager+DoF
fresh ideas/modern tactics/more intelligent transfers etc

but with Wenger+weakened squad we will hardly give ourselves any chance!

wouldn't care how we perform in domestic comps as long as we win Europa League Next season

HAS TO BE main objective
European Cup
+straight back to premier competition

Too soon to have any expectation, need to look at new team 1st, who knows how many change there will be at the club.
