@richccfc I don`t remember any english teams in the semi finals nor in the quarter finals...for the second year in a row.
And with trashing you mean the only games against german teams that the EPL didn`t loose in the last years ? Ok ...
@neumi17 Schalke 0-5 Chelsea, Wolfsburg 0-2 Everton, Everton 4-1 Wolfsburg.
Year before Man United 5-0 Levekusen. Only Bayern and Dortmund (few years ago)do well for Germany, so stop acting like it's such a great league.
@bradley.fcb- You do realise what the UEFA co-efficient ranking system is, right? It isn't finalised after the opening game of the group, it is finalised after the CL final. Even with this defeat, which wasn't all Arsenal ineptitude, we will still finish 2nd, Chelsea top and Utd top/2nd depending on results against Wolfsburg. How many of those places would be different had all 4 English teams won their opening fixture?
Giroud sent off for 2 bookable offences, neither of which were actually bookable offences. Good stuff. Zagreb have 1 attack and score, all the luck with them this game obviously. Eduardo having a very good game for them though, Giroud proving why we needed to buy a world class striker in the window.
@SteveHyland looks like you are not watching game. He was booked because he was too agressive doing fauls non-stop. Refree warned him before that he will be booked if does not stop. And yes both was clear card, so rised leg so high and kicked player in upper leg.
And i hope you are happy that Ospina didnt get red as he alsmot broke leg to Coric. He didn't even wanted to clear ball but he went on players knee, it's good he didnt end young players carrer. Also Oxled was not booked with second yellow at end when he made horrible tacke from behinde. Arsenal is at end happy not to have 3 players sent off.
@tutti-frutti- He was actually booked for dissent because he, rightfully, moaned at the ref for having a foul awarded against him which was clearly wasn't (the leitmotif of the night). He went up for the ball legitimately, the Zagreb player slipped or intentionally went down (decide for yourself), Olivier landed on top of him purely due to that thing called gravity and then, as was the norm in this game, the Zagreb player rolled around as though he had been shot with the intention of getting an Arsenal player carded. The majority of world football would agree Giroud's 2nd yellow was nothing apart from a standard foul. If that's a yellow then we'd have a red card per match, per week, in every league in the world. As for the Ospina and Campbell challenges, are you being serious? Absolutely nothing about those are mentioned around the web which should tell you something when everything is scrutinised to the Nth degree. You my friend are in the minority.
Easy fixture on paper for Arsenal and the team has had a better start to the season. Marko Pjaca is a very talanted youngster and can be dangerous if he can get the ball where he wants, but Arsenal should prove too much here and secure the points.
I love the fact that whoscored predictions are always in favor of premier league teams but they get smashed most of the time. Even whoscored can not accept that EPL is overrated...
I expect Giroud and the Ox to rotate into the side for the visit to beautiful Croatia. My prediction is for a tight 0-2 result with Alexis and the Ox scoring.
Arsenal to be careful not get main players injured as Chelsea's game Saturday is as important! Wenger should start Arteta in this game and play Giroud instead of Walcott and play Ox for Ramsey, 2 quick first half goals should be able to see the game out eeasy! COYG!
I expect Zagreb to stick 11 behind the ball and counter when possible. These are the type of games we usually drop points in which leads to us finishing 2nd in the group but hopefully the fact we have Bayern in the group will mean we view these games as imperative wins. I'll go 1-0 to Arsenal with Cazorla MotM, he's getting back to his regular, unplayable self.
@SteveHyland omg stop please.
@Interista5 ja kao interista sam razočaran. Mogao bi barem malo za naše klubove navijati. A i drago mi je da su vam se posrali u usta sad.
@tutti-frutti- Stop with what? Zagreb stuck 11 behind the ball and looked to counter even when we were wrongfully down to 10 men. I suppose you don't mind winning in circumstances like that...
Disappointed to see Arsenal lose last night but its still early stages. Expect all English sides to reach the round of 16
mikel arteta out of the club !! maybe the worst performance ever !!
deserved win for brave Dinamo, both teams were lucky with the posts; btw. Arsnal goal was slight offside, 2-3 inches
Waiting for arsenal against bayern at allianz arena.
@glenbayern For some funny reason this usually doesn't end good for Bayern.
Whatever still we believe in arsenal .. Coyg
@praveenarsenal Everyone has a right to dream ...
Business as usual in the CL: Germany and Spain with 3 wins out of 4 teams and England with 3 losses out of 4 teams. Story goes on ...
@neumi17 You forgot England vs Germany last year? EPL trashed Bundesliga

Come on, it's time the EPL loses a UCL spot, they're a joke

@SteveHyland I'm not so sure about Chelsea to go trought in 1st place ^.^ do you know FC Porto?
@bradley.fcb Who are better?

@SteveHyland- 2 downvotes. Not surprised given hardly anybody on this site seems to watch games...

@tuttifrutti @tuttifrutti "Also Oxled was not booked with second yellow "!!! Ox didnt recive any card... who is watching the game now!! :D
@coolmyms oh i meant on Campbell, sorry
@tuttifrutti "Also Oxled was not booked with second yellow "!!! Ox does not have any foul... who is watching the game now!! :D
@coolmyms oh i meant on Campbell, sorry
The only thing lesser than English coefficient points this season is Chelsea's fans pre-2004.
Harsh second yellow.
arsenal would have barely done it with 11.....10 men no chance....tthank you wenger for finding a striker for us
Nothing new.
Official Line-Up: Ospina, Debuchy, Gabriel, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Cazorla, Chamberlain, Oezil, Alexis, Giroud. BENCH: Cech, Chambers, Monreal, Flamini, Coquelin, Walcott, Campbell.
@SteveHyland Oh boy didn't see this one coming. Arteta is back !!
Easy fixture on paper for Arsenal and the team has had a better start to the season. Marko Pjaca is a very talanted youngster and can be dangerous if he can get the ball where he wants, but Arsenal should prove too much here and secure the points.
@benosgoode @benosgoode marko pjaca man of the match..he is world class talent i would like to see him in arsenal
I love the fact that whoscored predictions are always in favor of premier league teams but they get smashed most of the time. Even whoscored can not accept that EPL is overrated...
0-2
I expect Giroud and the Ox to rotate into the side for the visit to beautiful Croatia. My prediction is for a tight 0-2 result with Alexis and the Ox scoring.
Ramsey & Bellerin didn't travel at all, and I expect Walcott stays on the bench, so Alexis, Ox & Giroud start up front. Giroud strikes again! COYG!
Tough game but i expect 1-3 Arsenal
Seeing as Dinamo always seem to have a talented young midfielder to replace the one they just sold I assume they have one now! Is it Rog? We'll see.
@dSquib not only Rog but Pjaca, Coric are also good.
MAMIĆU CIGANE.Trpaj PRCIJU!!!

@SteveHyland 0-1?GNK is perhaps the worst team ever in CL.I expect 3+ goal dif.for Arsenal MAMIĆU CIGANE
@Interista5- They aren't the worst team ever in the CL purely because Spurs have been in the CL. :-p
@SteveHyland possible 0-1 0-2 for arsenal
