--------------------------------------------------------

Have to say I really don't know what to predict about our game. It totally depends on what Arsenal side pops out in Turkey.

We have no Toure, and look to play the same defence as against Everton : Eboue Song Silvestre Clichy. Denilson will no doubt play which sucks and I don't think Wenger will start with Diaby. Cesc, Walcott and Nasri should play behind RvP and Adebayor. Getting a point wouldn't be a bad result, though all three would be nice since seven overall with two home games left could set us up nicely.

I just got this feeling that Tevez Berba Rooney will start up front tonight.

Hopefully a easy win tonight. Prediction? 3-1 Rooney to get two goal with Tevez getting the third.

My prediction for tonight...

Man Utd v Celtic, Gp E, 19:45
Villarreal v AaB, Gp E, 19:45

Bayern Munich v Fiorentina, Gp F, 19:45
Steaua Bucuresti v Lyon, Gp F, 19:45

FC Porto v Dynamo Kiev, Gp G, 19:45
Fenerbahce v Arsenal, Gp G, 19:45

Juventus v Real Madrid, Gp H, 19:45
Zenit St Petersburg v BATE, Gp H, 17:30

Got money of that as well as a United/Villarreal/Zenit treble and a Madrid single.

I usually don't do too brilliantly in the CL so treat all that as a load of ********.

 

[CliffyG]

Sagna is still injured. I'm hoping for:

Eboue Djourou Silvestre Clichy

Walcott Cesc Diaby Nasri

RvP Ade

Defense still looks a little suspect but should be enough for Fenerbahce. Song may well play instead of Djourou though.

What odds did you get on that if you dont mind me asking? I would assume they wont be that high considering that they would all be considered very strong favourites.

 

[Cob]

Obviously watching United and Celtic tonight, but it's going to be hard to choose between the Chelsea and Liverpool matches tomorow night.

Pity really, I like Djourou he appears to be a fairly solid defender.

 

[CliffyG]

I'm only guessing about that as Djourou has just got back from injury. I actually quite like Song at CB, he seems pretty suited to it aswell as DM.

The treble was just under evens.

Madrid are around 7/5 which is very good value imo.

Wenger has already stated it will be the same defence as finished against Everton, so Song will play at CB.

 

[CliffyG]

Ah k, i guessed right then .

I am looking forward to tonight for some reason, I think the atmosphere will be amazing and it'll be a great watch. Getting ever, ever so slightly more optimistic about the coming games also since Diaby is back, it gives Arsenal another dimension in midfield which is the area which has been hit the most over the last few weeks.

I'd like to see Arsenal play some fluent stuff and I have a feeling they might, I think there will be an early goal and then Arsenal could cruise. Here's to hoping.

 

[Gooner14]

Diaby will be broken before Christmas

 

[Hlebio]

Christmas? I give him 2 weeks.

Fenebahce are a decent team, but not having a great season so far. Turkey is never an easy place to go to though, so a point wouldn't be a disaster.

 

[Ripper]

Ronaldo is apparently being rested. Hoping to see Tevez but I also want to see Rooney and Berbatov play too. If they all play we won't have much width though. Hopefully Anderson gets a start too.

 

[G|mp]

I just got this feeling that Tevez Berba Rooney will start up front tonight.

Would have anything to do with the fact it has been plastered all over the papers that he is going to start all 3

 

[6thElement]

Looking forward to a good game, I only managed to watch the first half of the Utd game on Saturday so missed all of the allowed goals.

 

[tsinc80697]

Stuck a bet on before Barca, Real, Utd, Villarreal and Liverpool. 16/1 with a £5 on

Not sure which game to watch tonight though!

 

[FrankJH]

Would have anything to do with the fact it has been plastered all over the papers that he is going to start all 3

Which probably means playing Rooney out of position, just as he starts getting a decent run of goals together from behind Berba too

(as Tevez isnt usually played from one or other wing)

Think it may be step in the wrong direction, but Tevez does deserve a start I have to admit
