Your opponent of choice

[gunnerGH]

At this stage of the competition you cannot be picky.

To win the Champions league you have to beat the best teams in europe.

Liverpool beat Chelsea, Juventus and Milan believe it or not.

Whatever comes in front of us we have to beat no matter what!

ac milan - painfully boring

Reading that comment made it clear that you do not watch Milan play too often, do you?

 

[Henry IV]

Having Henry and Ronaldinho going head-to-head would be a magnificent spectacle for the final. That being said if we do reach the final (and it's a monumental if) I think we're fated to meet Juventus. We would be reunited with Vieira and wouldn't it be oh so wonderful if we won the ECL without him and against him, after getting so much sticking for selling him?

 

[kel varnsen]

as long as we don't draw milan, juve or lyon i'll be happy.

well ok maybe not boring, but their style of play pisses me off as do most italian teams

 

[YeahBee]

They should have made it clear already which team who faces which, this is killing me and probably other fans. Make it clear in the first draw
1/8
1vs2 3vs4 5vs6 7vs8 9vs10 11vs12 13vs14 15vs16

1/4
1vs4 5vs7 10vs11 14vs16
semi
4vs5 10vs16
final 5vs10

one draw at the begining like in the WC or Euro C

 

[YeahBee]

lets wish for the least best team villareal, lyon, Benfica or Ajax

Milan and Juve solid hard teams

inter mixes highs and lows

Barca lets see them in the finals what a great day for football that would be

How can one of the most exciting(when it comes to attacking) teams in Europe make you angry? Milan have always been known for their beautiful attacking-football. Your generalisation of the way Italian clubs play, is a bit strange. People can say the same thing about Premier League now with boring teams like Liverpool and Chelsea. Apart from Juventus and Inter under Cuper, most Italian teams play entertaining football. Watch some more Italian football, and I will promise you that you will be surprised(positively) about the quality.

 

[gunner in dubai]

i would definitely want Barca!! it would be the best game in Arsenal's history!

i agree ac milan are one of the more attacking teams in Italy but I dont think they would have the same approach as barca or arsenal

 

[rudeshanx]

i would have preferred lyon but the whole world will love to see vieira back at highbury.and when that happens they usually have their way.so dont be surprised if he comes lets just make the best out of our season.getting past this stage at least will be a good parting gift for highbury.dont u think so.

 

[jester]

i read on another forum that the record number of clean sheets in one champions league season is 7, and so far we already have 6. how good is that considering our problems.
surely we could break the record.. not jinxing it! it'd be a shame to beat it and not win the trophy.

same old arsenal, breaking records (maybe)

 

[>YounGunner<]

Arsenal vs Ajax
Villareal vs Benifica

The would be the best draw we could get.

Winners of Arsenal and Ajax play Winners of Villareal and Benifca

The we are in the finals!!!!!!!!

 

[Mostarac]

i read on another forum that the record number of clean sheets in one champions league season is 7, and so far we already have 6.

I think that Milan are in posession of that record(7 matches without conceding) right now.

 

[Mostarac]

but I dont think they would have the same approach as barca or arsenal

Maybe, maybe not. But Milan were excellent offensively last night against Bayern, and that fantastic attacking football Milan showed in the 1st half against Liverpool in the final, is one of the best offensive displays I have ever seen. When Milan are in-form, they play some of the most beautiful football in the world, just as Barcelona and Arsenal at their best.

 

[Lance]

After a lots of thoughts, i think this is what will happen.

Trust me on this, I think we will play Benfica in the next, if we win, then Juve is after, and Barca in the finals.

The reasons being:

defeating Benfica means we are better then Man Utd and Liverpool
defeating Juve means we don't miss Vieira, and thankyou Vieira for your service at arsenal for the past years
defeating Barca means we are better, ao there will be no reasons for Henry and hopefully Fabregas to move to Barca.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Benfica please, unless Ajax get through against Inter.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Vieira at Highbury? Not at this stage, thank you.

It would be like asking him to play at homeground.

I felt sick when Juventus sneaked through.

 

[Octavio - gunner]

I'm tempted to say I don't care, we have to beat anyone to be champions... but like Henry said, we have to go step by step, so I think it would be less dificult (none is easy) if we face Villarreal, Benfica, Ajax/inter or Lyon... for the semis, we'll see when we're there.
We have the players, the coach, the fans and the attitude to be champions!! so bring 'em on whoever it is!!!!!
