Iv read they have 3 key injuries already

They're resting just to 'recover' in time for the match.

Whats the gist of their discussions? Are they thrilled to have landed the team with that most charitable of defenders, Mustafi?

Having scoured through that thread for the last 10 minutes, the majority of their fans are hopeful yet treading with caution as we’re basically their least preferred draw other than Chelsea. It does seem like they have great respect for Arsenal and accept it will be very challenging. They also referenced this specific thread at AM and how we’re thinking and discussing the same!

Nice, I'm going in June for the Amalfi Coast but spending last 2 nights in Napoli. Very alive vibrant city apparently, I think 2 nights will be enough

I'm also doing the Amalfi coast. I'll give a rundown of the best bits when I get back.

Cheers for the feedback!! Surely they now know we're as apprehensive about them as they are about us

What is the cumulative yellow card rule? Do we have any players at risk of missing 2nd leg?

Ffs wanted to buy ticket for the game I saw its 90 euros better stay at home watch it via some Russian stream.

They are not happy with the draw. The majority of them seem to have wanted to avoid us and Chelsea.

Though apparently a few have seen that many of us are not happy with the draw either.

Some comments on the strength of our attack, and that our defence was lacklustre.

A fair assessment. As far as ties go this & the Villareal-Valencia ones are the two ties that are quite difficult to call.

Chelsea will breeze past Slavia & should Jovic be ineligible to play against his parent club, Benfica are favorites to advance.

No wonder Napoli's stadium is half empty every time I watch their games

Usually tickets in Italy are expensive I think less expensive ticket cost 70 euros

 

[Plutarch]

We've been in good form from February through March and Emery now seems to be setting up the team effectively. Our attacking has been good and our defending has been better, if not fantastic. I'm confident we'll do well against Napoli. We should win this tie.

I believe in us and I am confident we will put in a great performance at home then shut up shop for the away leg and advance!

Why would it be good for English football? City are full of foreign players as well as Liverpool. If it was the 80s where most clubs were made up of players from the UK, sure.

But now, I don't think it means anything



I don't want to risk it. They would never shut up about it if they beat us

Omg! I don’t mean the national team. Why is it so hard to understand my point of view? These are English clubs so winning the European trophies will further signify the competitiveness and strengh of the English LEAGUE. Albeit, this could be the first time in a long time.

Frankfurt, need to hand yet another L to the Bumdesliga.

What L did we hand to the Bundesliga?

Frankfurt have now played Limassol Lazio Marseille Shakhtar and Inter 2x each. 10 matches, 8 wins 2 draws 24:8 goals. Last loss in all comps in December. Not sure why anyone would want to invite a dicking down like that plus 20k+ Frankfurt fans drowning Islington in trash and piss but whatever

I was at the San Siro three days ago, away tickets were 30 EUR.

Meant PL vs Bundesliga. Dortmund, Schalke and Bayern all being knocked out by English teams. Leipzig finishing below Celtic if you wanna go all British route. Or Hoffenheim finishing bottom of City's group. Basically apart from Frankfurt now, German teams haven't really done well in Europe this season.... or anytime in recent seasons.
