Arsenal's passing is looking a little bit off at times
But Dortmund doesn’t seem to be able to generate any momentum

He got hurt a bit in a 50/50 in the second minute with Santos
I saw him grimacing, and he was limping the whole time after that. Never recovered, I guess.
Oh, I tuned in on around the 14'
so I missed a few things
Still 0-0 in France for OM-Olympiakos
2-1 Barca over Milan at the San Siro, thanks to a Xavi flop + penalty, ftw…

Until we go back to the Camp on the return leg...

"Terry's down, oh my! Van Persie all by himself now, around Cech, and that'll do it!"
Both teams look pretty mediocre so far
Seems inevitable that a big mistake by one side will lead to a goal, so i want us to hold possesion and keep the ball in their half more
I feel like we're giving a lot of space away to let Dortmund take long range shots
a couple of them have been quite close

"Terry's down, oh my! Van Persie all by himself now, around Cech, and that'll do it!"
Thought he was off
But I couldn’t help but hope the linesman wouldn’t notice
God damnit
Right when we get a chance, we give away the ball so damn easily

I'm not totally sure what are offensive strategy is
but whatever it may be, Dortmund has it under wraps

"Terry's down, oh my! Van Persie all by himself now, around Cech, and that'll do it!"
Nice work by the offense
If BVB’s keeper stays put just a bit longer, RVP rifles that one in, nice cross in though by Walcott

At the Half
Marseille and Olympiakos still scoreless
Barca still leads Milan 2-1
Valencia is murdering Genk 4-0
Leverkusen/Chelsea, and Porto/Shaktar all scoreless also

Some stats
Arsenal have 60% possession over Dortmund’s 40%
Dortmund have 4 shots with 2 on goal to Arsenal’s lone shot which was on goal
Gotta do better….

"Terry's down, oh my! Van Persie all by himself now, around Cech, and that'll do it!"
I'm guessing most of it is just from passing back and forth towards our own zone

Song is one of our better performers on a consistent basis.
Maybe Frimpong or Coquelin could challenge him in a few years but right now Song is a top 5 DM.
It's funny watching so-called sports writers
try to pretend like they understand the DM position.
Captain, there are doubt''s...
To be fair
Our DM positions don’t work like normal DM’s on other teams do, Song has the freedom to do what he just did a few minutes ago, but to think that someone who constantly starts for one of the best national teams in the world, isn’t a good enough player for us is absurd

34 between League and Europe
Which puts him first for any premier league player and fourth overall behind Messi, Ronaldo, and Gomez.

FIFA/UEFA are supremely biased. Which is how Xavi and Iniesta got second and third runner up last year when Sneijder and Ronaldo deserved it so much more.
Oh I know! Iniesta was out for half the year

Argh Gervinho.
Maybe a chance for Arshavin soon? He has finishing quality if nothing else.
I want to see him get a shot in Gervinho’s place
Proud father of Barry Zito. As long as he keeps throwing strikes, that is.
Is he even on the bench for tonight? I thought he was left out?
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
ahh yes..I definitely agree
Would like to see what the youngster can do. At least his recent interview illustrates him as someone who is patient and will be willing to wait for his opportunity
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
Gervino why can't you finish

Yeah, good points
But their EPL schedule is a whole lot less congested is they fall out
But if they make it, they get another $30MM.
I’m so conflicted
Benayoun for Gervinho
Well safe option and Gervinho has been somewhat wasteful.
He was doing good tracking back and playing some D

If we're lucky, we end up with someone like Zenit, or whatever that Cyprus team is
Talk about an instant score, twenty bucks says Barca gets them though…

Great 2nd half
That last goal came out of nowhere. I really would’ve like to see a clean sheet since I’d predicted 2-0 in IKTS.
ARSENAL. WIN. AGAIN.
We’re in the knockout stages, we win the group. RESULT.

FT in Italy
Milan 2-3 Barca,
damn you Xavi and your flopping ways, also Van Bommel for giving up an own goal, where’s the sanity?

Eh
Now that we’ve won the group, I’d rather Barca do as well.

There's the possibility open that we may be the only English club to move on

ManU needs to not lose at Basel
ManCity needs to win at home against Munich and have Napoli lose or tie at Villareal.
Chelsea needs to beat Valencia at home.
i think
United will probably make it
It’s not looking good for City, and it’s looking really slim for Chelsea

See, here's the problem
I love the fact that they’re all struggling, but I fear a situation where we’re still in, playing extra games, and they all get to rest. So I’m kinda half hoping they get through. But not quite.

They get knocked out and they go to Europa where they will probably dominate.
So no worries about schedule.
Yea, but in Europa League they can play reserves, like (I think) Spurs

GD is not the 1st tie breaker
It’s head to head followed by H2H away goals.
