Champions League 2014/15

Red Bull Salzburg are class. Whoever gets them in their group as fourth seed will be unlucky to draw them.
 
Sanchez doing his best Tony V impression in the last two games. Chambers looks class for a 19 year old. Wouldn't have minded taking a punt on him for £15m.
 
Really like the look of Chambers. There's actually I lot of really talented young English players around, just a shame we haven't got the right manager to take them far in a tournament.

I feel sorry for Alexis tonight to be honest. The rest of the team aren't giving him any support when he gets on the ball.
 
Europa League is more difficult for teams to manage with more games.
Would they not drop into the Europa?

Nobody gives a feck about europa league. Even for Arsenal it wont be a really big distraction. Can't see them saving players against us or any big time just because they face a europa league match 2 days later. On champions league would be a different story.

at this point, i would take any extra help that could put us back in champions league... and Arsenal getting far in the UCL might be the help we need. (as sad as this sounds)
 
Muniain 1-0 to Athletic Club. I hope they go through.
 
They paid a good fee for someone unproven but Chambers is looking a very good signing for Arsenal.

Salzburg has actually still a realistic shot at making pot 3 if two higher seeded teams miss out in the qualifiers (Napoli is on the back foot vs. Bilbao already).

I found this table a while ago and it gives a good overview of the current pot situation:

The white ones are still in the qualifiers, while the yellow ones are certain to play this campaign.
 
Arse lucky not to have conceded, Besiktas look really good at times. Lack of Arsenal's midfield is really baffling.

How does Ba make people around him slip is beyond me though, got some aura.
 
Giroud may actually be worse than Torres.
 
Is this the stadium that hosted the 2005 CL final? Besiktas have a brand new stadium that they've just built but for some reason they're not playing in it.
 
Just wow, Salzburg has played fantastic football in the first 45.

They played rather poor for their standards. Kampl, probably their best player, was absolutely useless. If they'd play anywhere near the level they showed last year or in the league, they'd be up 3-4:0
 
But, but, but that makes no sense :(

I was led to believe that Giroud is a genuine world class player:
:lol::lol::lol:

Some matches he's actually not terrible, but when he's playing like he is today he looks like he just started playing football last week.
 
Pundits keep saying Sanchez has been good in the same way they were saying Ozil has been good last season but I haven't seen both players even close to reaching the levels they were playing at Madrid and Barca. Is it just me?
