Well.....no one saw that coming....lol

I didn't even see him playing but scoring well with French u21s. Arteta is playing well. Keeping it ticking over and some of Arsenal's passing is excellent. Ramsey still struggling. Gibbs and Chambers going forward well.

What a goal Sanchez!

Although Dortmund aren't up for this atall.

[mrdeeds]

Pity we didn't get a third. Outside chance of topping group then.

[ONeill]

Even with a 2nd place, Groups C and H are attractive draws.

But its arsenal. Bayern barcelona or real.

A Wenger vintage first goal and a special bit of quality for the second. I didn't watch the game though.
Regardless of Arsenal's current  state of affairs they would be next to last on any group winner's wish list of last 16 opponents.

It'd be sorta nice to beat Southampton tomorrow.

Juventus, Barcelona, Roma / Man City....all in second place right now......

Arsenal have more than enough about them to spring a last 16 surprise but I don't think the consistency is there to do it again after that.

Giroud made a massive difference coming on. Holds the ball up well but also clever in and around the box.

You have an opinion that Arsenal are possibly a 4th best team in the 2nd pot of the last 16 and you doubt they can get any further?
I don't really care whether my opinion (that they are the 2nd best team in that pot)  is more or less accurate than yours. As I remember it, the Highbury area was a red bricked shthole, alongside a soulless Finsbury pk. I suppose there are people from Highbury and the immediate environs who identify strongly with Arsenal fc, I'm not one of them.
But I do have some hope that your fancied team, Arsenal, do better than your prediction.

Don't really understand the highbury point to to be honest and if you read what I posted I said Arsenal could indeed get beyond the next round but prob don't have enough consistency to go beyond that.

Still. It's all just opinion.
