Arsenal Thread

:)

Mate, it's gonna be some match and I still think that Milan at the San Siro is the toughest fixture for EVERY European club. Milan v United at San Siro last season was like men against boys; you truly outclassed us all over the pitch.
 
I agree, if we United can avoid Milan unless its the final we can go all the way but the San Siro is were Milan take the game away from you in the CL knockout stages, Arsenal will need to take a lead into that fixture
 
true... man the ageing guns vs the young guns... sweet sweet match... stupid ten sports not showing that match in India..

Man United is on Sky Sports 1, Arsenal on Sky Sports 2 - it's always the way mate and I do agree that Arsenal v Milan is a far bigger fixture for the neutral.

After a while you do notice these things, the 3 games ITV had of arsenal and utd they put utd on itv1 everytime in the group stages. at times like this its quite annoying for me.
 
arsenal squad does look impressive.... but so does milan's... I just hope as a neutral it's a nice feast of a match and not like the boring match of ours.
 
You got tickets Clock?! Lucky begger. I was at Old Trafford last season for our 3-2 victory over them - was a great game too. Kaka was amazing.
 
man lucky people... I'm trying to find places to watch the match here in India... its being shown on Ten Sports here and ManU Lyon match... damn...envy ya guys...

I am a season ticket holder mate...

I think that if we can stop them scoring tonight then we will be favourites to go through. Really looking forward to seeing Maldini play, one of my favorite players ever.

Do you think Gilberto will play to man mark Kaka? Can't see Flamini doing that.

Hope not Gilbert is now doing a great impression of David Hillier. If you are not sure who he is, wikipedia him..;)

Flamini has been awesome this season and in any case its not really Wenger's style to man mark. Kaka will be a massive threat to us but I am confident we can keep a clean sheet for once.

Mate I swear me and you think alike - Maldini IS my favourite player ever.

You are in for a treat tonight - the atmosphere will be amazing; their away support at Old Trafford last year was something else.
 
as i said earlier dude... a match between the young guns and the aging guns... could become potentially the match of the champs league, year maybe
 
we just need to keep our shoulders on our heads and play. i'm sure we'll do well. the only thing we lack is and they have is Experience. lets see, whether it will matter for our young team or will they gain experience by beating the champions.
 
You gotta have balls to beat Milan but also tactical awareness. Under Wenger, you have bags of that. You'll be ok tonight lads. :)
 
tactically speaking Fabregas, Hleb, Flamini and Adebayor are the main players of our team 2day and they have to perform well. Fabre--for, he is the playmaker and will make some key passes to the winger Hleb.(and also to be careful from No.8) Flamini--for hes the one who will protect us from the Best Player in the world. Adebayor-- ofcourse, i'll be waiting for his 1st goal.
 
I think this will be a midfield battle. We're playing with a 5 man midfield, the one that won it for us last year.

--------Kaka----Seedorf-----
---Ambrosini--Pirlo----Gattuso---
 
the starting lineups arent announced yet but milans called up players according acmilan.com are:

keepers: Kalac, Fiori, Offredi.
Defenders: Cafu, Maldini, Nesta, Kaladze, Simic, Jankulovski, Favalli, Bonera, Oddo.
Midfielders: Emerson, Gattuso, Seedorf, Gourcuff, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Brocchi.
Strikers: Kakà, Gilardino, Inzaghi, Pato.
