Hope Arsenal do not drink or eat anything in Russia.

Meanwhile,

PRESSURE was growing last night for a mass World Cup boycott this summer in retaliation for the Salisbury nerve agent outrage. MPs urged the Prime Minister to consider pressing allies to join England and withdraw from the tournament being held in Russia to send a stark message to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Last time Moscow played at Emirates stadium

Poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko
On 1 November 2006, Litvinenko suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. He died three weeks later, becoming the first confirmed victim of lethal polonium-210-induced acute radiation syndrome.[
The main suspect in the case, a former officer of the Russian Federal Protective Service (FSO), Andrey Lugovoy, remains in Russia.

......said that at the very least it demonstrated approval of the killing by Lugovoi, a fan of CSKA Moscow football club. After the killing, Lugovoi went with his family to see his team play Arsenal in London

Pretty reasonable draw for us on face value, we really should progress.

 

[charcoalchicken]

At least we didn't get atletico

Away tie could cause some issues, long travel, cold af, articial pitch, gotta rip them up at home put it to bed early hopefully

Woeful performance, very lucky with the penalty. Things would’ve gone South if not for that.

Harsh PP, job pretty much done at San Siro, I'd say solid job.

 

[glenferry23]

Was happy with anyone aside from AM, so it’s a good outcome. Moscow is a challenging place to travel to, so need some goals at the Emirates first up.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

United beat CSKA 4-1 in Moscow this season, so it's not as hard as some of you are making out.

Finally got to watch the Milan replay. Think some people here are being harsh. We weren't bad. Aside from the 10 minutes of craziness before half time, we were always in control. Welb's penalty was a bloody awful call, but you win some, you lose some. They balance out in the end.

Really great, honest interview with Mertesacker from Der Spiegel

A great read.

A great read.

Hammann disagrees.

 

[glenferry23]

Enjoyed that, very refreshing to see such honesty.

 

[Genesis67]

Hammann disagrees.

Hammann is welcome to.

I'm reading that as a psychologist. He's reading it as a football pundit. He has experience at the highest level of sport. I do not. It makes sense that we'd view it differently.

Reports from a few sources saying thomas tuchel has rejected a move to bayern munich to come and coach arsenal, kicker saying he's already signed a deal and wenger is off at the end of this season

Bild says it isn't true

 

[glenferry23]

He had a falling out with Mislinat I recall. Which was supposedly one of the reasons why he left Dortmund at the time to come to Arsenal.

 

[Marc Murphy]

Maybe the take away from these stories is the club isn't coming out and saying "Arsene Wenger #1" like they have in the past.

 

[Latro]

Honigstein says it is not true as well.

You'd be mad to turn down Bayern for Arsenal.

Although i don't really get the Tuchel hype, didn't he get sacked for being a bit crap at Dortmund?

Only lost 17 games in 108 at BVB so I wouldn't be saying that's a crap record.

We've lost 14 matches so far this season under Wenger...

I honestly hadn't looked in to it.

Win a one team league ? Or take on the challenge? We'd be bigger than Bayern world wide as well.
