CL Group G: Arsenal x Porto [P+R]

[MaSsiVe]

vs

• The Group G game at the Arena Hamburg two weeks ago proved a wonderful experience for former BV Borussia Dortmund midfielder Tomáš Rosický as he struck the decisive goal in stunning fashion on his return to Germany for a 2-1 victory. Now Wenger's team will be hoping for more of the same on their new stage - where they defeated NK Dinamo Zagreb 2-1 in qualifying - having waved goodbye to their Highbury home after 93 years, and 22 seasons of European football.

• Porto will be looking for their first goals in the competition this season after their opening fixture against PFC CSKA Moskva ended goalless. A victory in north London would be a first for the Dragons away to English opposition. In seven previous visits in European competition only a 1-1 draw against Manchester United FC in the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League first knockout round prevents a clean sweep of defeats.

Manchester United 0 - 1 Arsenal .... memory is key in using all matches when you're trying to make a team sound worse by apparently being a smartass.

Congratulations, you even failed at being funny.

if you were minimally intelligent, you'd have noticed that the other dude mentioned the games at Emirates.

now you may kindly go fuck yourself.

For a man who celebrates the teachings of plur, that is a bit harsh :P

Peace
Love
Unity
Respect.

Nice chat there

We won't lose this one

 

[hs232]

Hmm, Porto can always hope for second place in the group.

Last place in their group last year.

 

[MaSsiVe]

yeah, second place right behind CSKA wouldn't be bad at all.

first place in the competition, twice.

 

[hs232]

Don't worry, one day Jose will return.

Hmm, Arsenal can always hope to win the Champions league someday.
Zero wins in the competition for Arsenal, two for Porto.
I reckon it will be a draw.
*Patiently waiting for TracerTong to say it will be a walkover :chew:

He will only post here and leave a smartass comment if Arsenal win.

 

[Lean]

Arsenal to win this one, by a small margin methinks. Would love to see Anderson in action again but they're not showing this one.

Yeah because the 87 and 04 team are the same one that plays today.

 

[MaSsiVe]

dude, what kind of f'cked up logic is that
going by it, no team that won the CL in the past is gonna do it again because the players are not the same.

about Mourinho, he had 2 full seasons with Chelsea so far and didn't win the CL...how about that
