Arsenal Bayern can never be 50-50. . . Bayern have 45% chance at best.

I'd say vs Barcelona 10-90, vs Madrid 49-51, vs Bayern 60-40, vs Schalke 75-25.

Says a club who has played CL semi twice in history

vs Barca its 99-1, Madrid 75-25, Bayern 85-15, Schalke 60-40.

Arsenal is the weakest team left in the Competition

@ Eldee
Of course we would all rather love to play the weakest team possible
But we have 'done' ourselves by not topping the group.
So, bring on whoever right now.
My mind is saying it will be Arsenal vs Bayern Mushin
and if it will be Spanish opposition,it will be Real Madrid.
Bring them on
I rememeber when we were paired against Milan(defending champs at the time), all the haterz mocked us by saying
we will be thrashed heavily in both legs.
After we won, they came back and said it was an 'aged side'
There is still a long time between now and February

@DK
I am hoping we get ur batty boys
Its time for some folks in your back 4 to retire finally

You mean a team who was battered by Braga a CL debutant wants to play Bayern?

I laff in "monkey post"

I must be honest, I don't think we can win the CL. But we are certainly better than Bayern Mushin. Please UEFA send us to the Allianze let's shut this "ventriloquist doll DK" up forever.

You think ranting on the pages of nairaland would make you survive next round?

If you dont keep quiet I would invoke Braga or Shaktar Donetsk on you.

Shameless people cant even top a group of Shaktar Donetsk

Dk, you need to sharrap or i swearragawd i'd break ya head and send ya back to the nunnery.

Misplaced priorities.

Your priorities should be how to end the trophyless run and lose the next round with a respectable scoreline.

Not how to find an excuse to be among your gay friends in the nunnery/monastery

^^ Stop haunting our thread like the ghost of seasons past. Die and move on (to hell)

^^ You first

Arsenal FC
Can play: Schalke, Barcelona, Bayern, Madrid

Of all the teams in the selection process, Arsenal has the least amount of options. Due to their hopeless form and placing second behind Shakabula Donetsk

This means they have a 1 in 4 shot to draw Bayern Good thang for Munich

So what happened between bayern Munich and Bordeaux last season.

Ok. i know you won't say what, they beat you home and away and you also came 2nd behind them

What are you going to say? Yes, you still managed to reach the final last season: this season ain't over yet

Was Bordeaux playing CL for the first time last season?

Which bayernmunchshit be dat. If not for the worst case of refeering incompetence to ever happen in the game of football, would have quietly jaboed at round 1.

Platini oh, platini oh, platini oh. . .hw many times I call you? Bayernmunshit na hin I want.

Dayo,why are you so full of shiet? You got reminded that Bordeaux topped ur group last term and you come up with the most ridiculous excuse. You dey mard gan. Alailojuti. You say arsenal couldnt finish top of a group of champions and bayern munshit is in the middle of the table in a league as shitty as poo.
I also would love to meet bayern this next round. I'll bet my balls we will knock those imbecyls out in the first game. Then we will play vela and bendtner in the second tie cos usinh RVP n Chamakh will be bullyish

I'm seriously looking forward to a trip to Germany for the knock-out stage, they are the easiest opponents available.

Not ready for another thumping by Barcelona, Mourinho will not lose to Wenger, any of the German sides will just be perfect

^^
Nobody woulda tot mourinho will lose to anybody 5-0. But it did happen. If we have to meet mourinho next,we will stand up,fight and win. But if we face bayern,we only need stand up. Bayern to me,is like schalke, 'weak' as '7 days' without prayers

Next round, praying we get them Bayern closet gays. And when they lose, Gomez and dayokanu would probably be saying how it was due to their fellow gays not coming out of the closet. . .

Hehehe . . . you think Wenger has a 49-51 chance of beating Mourinho?? Especialy in a year they're joint top favourites to win the UCL??
You're high on agbo.  

It's not about Wenger vs Mourinho, it's about Arsenal vs Real Madrid.

Wenger has beaten Fergie many times before, do you think Arsenal stand a better chance of eliminating United than Real Madrid?

Wenger's goons disgraced Ancelotti's defending champs a few seasons ago, would you rather play Chelsea or Real Madrid?

Perhaps you need some agbo to get some perspective

I'd happily take any draw excluding Barca. . . No one wants to play them. Bayern Mushin would be perfect.

The harshest truth is that our team can self implode against any team and there is no possibility of improving defensively sooner and with Wenger not intending to buy a defender in January, Bayern MUNSHIT can be a tougher opponent. The priority should be the league and FA cup. The carling cup is ours except them boys want 2 years loan to Swansea City

Bring on any team for the next round we're better equiped this season than last. All we've got to do is keep our players free from injury.

GIVE MIIIII BAYERN!!!! - and lets shytee on dem!!!!!

Wellington work permit application fails . . . there goes my dream of seeing him and JET as soon as January

^^ I heard it was the 'initial' application that failed, I'm sure we'll be able to get him in as an 'exceptional talent'.

You Arsenal fans like to lie to yourselves . . .it's all good.
I'm probably the only guy on this thread that follows the La Liga so I'll let it go till DSTV starts covering the best league in the world.

^^ I watch Revista La Liga religiously, and Real and Barca games are on TV every weekend.

I'm obviously not saying that their defence is crap, but not anything as good as you claim.

If Ajax can score twice against them with the so called 'Mourinho mentality', why are we talking about them as if they are impregnable?

They are good yes, and could batter us. . . but we could equally hurt them as well so leave the excessive praise aside.

If we can't beat them then we should go out - no apologies.

Enough talk about a Feb game. . . .you'd think we're already facing Real next week. Let's suspend draw talk till closer to the point they are actually made.

DSTV covers La Liga. And i'd rather take on them Bayern man-whores or Madrid, than take on Barca. And i'm not lying to myself.

And please, eldee explain how La Liga is the best league in the world.

pssssst, Chelsea fan in peace. Just wanted to share with u guys what a Manure said today;

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/dec/10/patrice-evra-crisis-club-arsenal

Patrice Evra has dismissed Arsenal as "a football training centre" and a club facing "crisis" in a stinging appraisal of Manchester United's next Premier League opponents. The France left-back added that while Arsenal may be top of the table, he believes Chelsea are United's main rivals for the title.

Speaking to the French TV station Canal+, Evra acknowledged the ability of Arsène Wenger's side but pointed to the club's ongoing trophy drought – their last silverware came with victory over United in the 2005 FA Cup final – as evidence for his criticism. He even suggested that United can afford to lose to Arsenal at Old Trafford on Monday without conceding an insurmountable advantage in the title race.

"For me, Arsenal is a football training centre," said Evra. "You watch the match, you enjoy it, but are you going to win a title afterwards? That's what people remember. It has been five years since they won anything and for a big club like Arsenal, that is a crisis."

"We can lose against them, but at the end of the day, what is there for Arsenal? There is nothing. There are no trophies, there is nothing. Our real enemy is Chelsea. We are more concerned with Chelsea's results than those of Arsenal, even if we know Arsenal are a great team who can beat Chelsea, us or anyone."

Arsenal are currently one point ahead of United at the top of the Premier League, having played a game more, but could stretch the gap to four points with victory on Monday. Third-placed Chelsea, meanwhile, face a potentially tricky trip to Tottenham looking for only a second win in their last seven league games.

Wenger's side, who qualified from their Champions League group on Wednesday, have also reached the last four of this season's Carling Cup, prompting a belief that their commitment to passing football may at last bring some tangible reward. However, for all the plaudits Arsenal receive about their attractive play, Evra suggested that they lack the steel that is married to style at United.

"When we play against Arsenal, it is really fun," he said. "They are a team that plays football who will not come to Old Trafford with 11 men behind the ball. We also play football, but the difference is that we also have strength. Sometimes, they cannot kill off matches. We are more efficient."

Arsenal's France midfielder Samir Nasri responded by saying that his team-mates would travel to Manchester with the aim of proving their maturity. "We are not children and we will demonstrate that on Monday," said Nasri. "We will show Manchester United that Arsenal have really grown."

Evra had been one of a number of United players with fitness doubts ahead of the Arsenal game but the manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, today said that he expects to have a full squad to pick from.

"Everyone is fit," said Ferguson. "Paul Scholes started training yesterday. It was just light stuff but hopefully he will be available for Monday and Rio [Ferdinand] should be fit as well. Jonny [Evans] and Wes [Brown] have had a bit of a virus that has been going around the place [but] we should have a full squad for Monday."

@Debo

Thing is . . . we're analysing possibilities here and this is the one place where its a numbers game.
And if someone comes here to tell me that paper predictions are 49-51, then it's my duty to call B.S.
I don't why that's hard for the average gooner.

And erm Ajax didn't score two against them.

So you watch the La Liga and you said Ramos and Marcelo are crap . . . bring one full back in the EPL that can touch Ramos, just one.
I repeat, they've got one of the best back fours in Europe. . . I can't even believe we're arguing bout that.

@Wordsmith

Best players in the world, best managers in the world, biggest match in world football, the fact that every team comes to the Nou Camp to play football and not camp, the fact that people don't dedicate players to fight kungfu on the pitch, the fact that they stole everything that made the EPL best of the mid 2000s, the fact that when EPLs best play against them, we play anti-football. . . do you want me to go on??
