Looks like we'll go out at the last 16 stage again, zzzzz
Finish 2nd, we get Bayern Finish 1st, we get Bayern ![]() We certainly seem to have more conviction these days, I know we may well have thrown in the towel a few times this year but we seem to be able to push through when going down. |

Frustrating, isn't it? They're topping the Bundesliga again and seem to be scoring for fun. The only difference this year is the 2nd leg at home for us. Perhaps we can do to them what they and others have done to us, frustrate them away from home and finish the job at the Emirates.

Utterly predictable, wasn't it? As soon as we topped our group, it seemed inevitable that we would face Bayern as our 'reward'.
![]() We do seem in better shape than in previous years and they're not quite what they were, so it's not a foregone conclusion that we'll lose like most years. I still can't quite see us getting through, but we should be able to make them fight for it at least. |

I'm more optimistic with Alexis up front, he has changed our attack and brought the best out of Walcott and the pace up top. If Giroud starts it might be same old story.

I'd rather it be Bayern than Barcelona but the poorest perfoming team in the group stages got one of the best draws City vs Monaco. I think Arsenal can go through but I think Leicester will struggle against Seville, lovely time to be had there though so if I were a Leicester fan I would take a few days extra and not only enjoy Seville but the whole area, Malaga, Cadiz are quite close.
![]() Long time between now and Feb. If we'd finished second, we'd have got Barcelona ![]() I'd not get/be able to afford a ticket for Munich anyway, and I don't like beer or sausages They don't play nearly as well without Robben and with his injury record, there's always hope.

Real beat their unbeaten record on Saturday but this season they have been far from convincing drawing games and decidely lucky on Saturday. Atletico Madrid have been average all season and aren't the same team as the last three seasons. |

We seem to be doing better and seem more convincing this year yeah, but when I heard we got Bayern again, I could only think of this:

We knew two weeks ago that we win the group, when Bayern Munich were assured of finishing second.
What next? A draw to find out what day of the week it will be tomorrow. |

At least next season is the 'Different Draw' before we go back to Barcelona in 2018-19 and Bayern again in 2019-2020.

Sods law we get BM yet again. No complaints though, we won the group. Just bad luck we didn't get an easier tie. I'm not sure BM are the dominant force they once were though. There is a slight advantage in playing at home 2nd. Nick an away goal and we are in with a great shout.

I think Sanchez will get next year's Ballon d'Or, I can feel it in my water. Bayern Munich will be no problem, we have the manpower this time to win and hopefully, go all the way to the final. The traditional pre-Christmas hope trodden down in the New Year, an Arsenal tradition... x.

Really impressed with Xhaka and Coquelin that first half.
Walcott needs to do better defensively for their goal. Bring on Perez as he has been anonymous 1st half. Anything less than 3 points will be disappointing. |

Big miss from Ozil. Poor game so far by his high standards.

There's certain managers that know how to play against Arsenal. Koeman is one of them.

Players didn't fancy it and underestimated Everton. |
