This draw suits us quite well, this is because we will already be in holland for the Amsterdam tournament the previous weekend. Then again I doubt the players will stay there unless its on the 12th.

I dont know FC Twente.. However I do know they have a Manager who couldnt make england qualify for euro 2008, A Manager whos biggest club success was taking Middlesbrough to the Uefa Cup final to get whooped 4-0. I reckon this is winable..

That's exactly what I thought when I read it. Let's hope the players take this very seriously indeed or else we'll be a laughing stock.

Here we go ... !!!!

Hope Nasri is back from his injury ... havent heard anything about him ...

The one thing I want is for us to NOT concede a goal ... just score 2 or 3 and then forget about the second-leg (kinda .. :s_cool )

Nasri will be back, he had a minor knock but was expected to be with the squad for the match Wednesday.

The Gunners just need to focus and keep their minds on the pitch, not on anything else, and they should do fine.

This is going to be a tough, tough game, make no mistakes.

Almunia
Clichy, Toure, Gallas, Sagna
Nasri, Denilson, Cesc, Eboue
van Persie, Adebayor

Is what we can expect to see. Eboue for balance, no point putting Theo in there now because we need to be tight in the middle.

Reckon we can rely on Adebayor to score a goal or two thankfully. I HATE these games, so much at risk early on, just want to get them over and fucking done with.

Assuming Theo doesn't start, he needs to absolutely be the first man off the bench when Wenger goes to sub.

not much creativity in that midfield come to think of it,^^^ injuries have fucked us already and the season hasn't started yet :cry:

hopefully adebayor and van persie have finally woken up a bit, both were dire 1st half against ajax. :?
