Sweet group Arsenal


yeah, another easy group. but the distance may factor into our EPL ties as someone astutely pointed out on twitter:
Just think long away trips can play such a big part &when you look at the games we have that follow CL games its MUFC,MCFC,CFC,AVFC all away

FFFFFUUUUUUU

Barcelona has the easiest group, but Rubin Kazan did take 4 of 6 points off them last season in group play.

Spuds in a pretty tricky group in all honesty.

Le Arse, always, ALWAYS end up in an easy group.

I wouldn't sleep on Bursaspor. The Turkish teams typically pose a tricky test and have the craziest fans in EurAsia.

Not bad...could have been much worse. Valencia is no joke but Silva and Villa are gone. Third is a must though.

Hell yes. This is winnable, and Raul knows CL football.

Hoping for a Chelsea - Real Madrid group. So Mesut Özil can go buckwild on those faggy Blues.


Essien, Terry, and co. would have done some number on that flopping alien.

John Terry isn't even the best centerback on his own team.

Group A has the best parity imo.

Every team needs someone totally unafraid to do the dirty work. He may not be the best anymore but I certainly would want him on my team.

You basically described the role of any good centerhalf. Carles Puyol does the same thing and is twice the player Terry is.

Puyol isn't even close to the best center back on his team. He's blessed to play on two teams that don't ask him to do anything because they always have the ball. When he is asked to do something he is getting sent off in the CL and getting skinned by Arjen and should be getting sent off in the WC.
