One day we’ll surprise everyone and be good over 2 legs.

Just probably not this time.

Wonder who’ll get sent off? Exciting.

That would be us going out 3-2 agg not away goals. I can see it being cheap like a repeat of PSG. 1-1 there 2-2 Emirates.

Our record up there is actually not bad in recent seasons IIRC. Its stopping the away goals which is an issue with us.

I took like 5 double takes wondering if you were poking fun at your percentage mishap and were just waiting for some cunt to take the bait lmao.

I do agree with that tho, we always give ourselves way too much to do 2nd leg. Even last time we played our 2nd leg at Emirates we lost like 4 nil away in Milan. I’d take just about any solid result away in Germany with the hope that a decisive game at the Emirates could bring the fans to life. We never really have any great champions league magic in London because we’re always playing the decisive game away from home.

Well seeing as how we only play 2 different teams had we not won the group our other option was Barca. In that case I’ll take Bayern.

#156

Phew, this thread had a LOT of replies tdoay.

Firstly, how boringly predictable for us to get Bayern AGAIN. It’s like UEFA don’t want to try mix things up for a change.

Anywho, I actually think this is a very ideal draw for us. Bayern will go into this tie as favourites, but unlike previous seasons, they’re not bossing it in the League, nor look unbeatable.

When we’re the underdogs we put out more of a performance and less likely to be complacent. After playing them so much in recent seasons, surely this has to be the moment to end this trend and do it over two legs?

For once, I don’t feel any particular dread in going up against them, I think it’ll be a very closely fought contest, where we have a realistic chance.

Could be a very different picture in two months when the match actually happens. At the moment our form is pretty much exactly the same as theirs.

[/quote]Absolutely, a lot can change in two months, especially our lot :wilshere: For now, my moodset for this tie, is cautiously hopeful.

#159

Yeah loads can change!

We could manage to go out of three competitions in a week like we’ve done in the past. All very encouraging :joy:
