UEL Round of 32 1st Leg: Benfica vs Arsenal | Thursday 18th February |20:00 | BT Sport

[OnlyOne]

Kinda game you get excited for if your manager was the likes of Wenger, Emery or Tuchel etc.

 

[GDeep™]

That was the grey pitbull wasn't it? Such a shame.

Yeah, Emily.

 

[GLITCH]

Irresponsible line up. We have City on Sunday. Saka is due a break. ESR as well. Arteta needs to rotate better than this.

This is the leg we need to score as many as we can. Man City would probably be an L even with our strongest lineup.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

W incoming

 

[OnlyOne]

Did you have any Cesc shirts back in the day...and if so, when did you get rid of them?

Nah, I didn't fit into kids sized football shirts because of my weight and my dad refused to pay £90 for an XL adult shirt.

 

[GDeep™]

Yeah the last Arsenal shirt I ever bought was the 08/09 home kit with Fabregas on the back. Still have it because I refuse to put an Arsenal top in the bin.

Burn it and post it on AM.

You’re acting like these shirts are the shroud of Turin.

 

[Riou]

He was unreal for a couple of seasons with QPR.

Bit like Nasri, top stuff on their day...both always looked a little fat too for some reason.

Emery had us thrashing Napoli and Valencia, here we are shaking ahead of a game vs Benfica. Levels.

He was unreal for a couple of seasons with QPR.

Absolutely I actually wanted us to go for him back then aswell.

Look at the reaction of the player that gets destroyed.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

I'm in one of them moods again so I'd advise to stick me on ignore till after the game if you're going to cry about it.

Putting you on ignore is a good idea regardless of your mood.

 

[North5]

Looking forward to this one tbf. Haven't felt like this in a while.

Getting back into the champo will be really great when we finally do. I really miss that competition

 

[kofigunner]

Slightly surprised there were no rotations

 

[Riou]

Remember when Benfica had Aimar?

He was only 25/26 when Valencia sold him to Zaragoza, was so shocked he didn't last longer at a "big club", wonderful little player.

No one should be scared of this current Benfica team, imo.

Would definitely burn an Emi Martinez shirt but they don’t sell those since there’s no buyers.

Olympiacos weren't scary either, this is Arsenal tho.

Guys like him don’t have a role in the modern game though as they won’t track back all game. You have to be an athlete now.

Baller era is over.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Got a feeling we will manage to get past Benfica then we‘ll draw Sp**s or Utd in the next round.

 

[Trilly]

You know because this stuff is massive up north.

Once I had a puppy who fought with one eye, heroic. Had to put her down but it was like watching Julio Cesar Chavez.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[GoonerJay24]

Very dissapointed in Arteta's team selection. What's this going to do for Pepe's confidence?

Also Elneny and Lacazette should be playing tonight. Arteta's a novice

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

I will never forgive Leno for that one.
