Arsenal has just announced the schedule for its Champions League group games. The part that jumps out at me is that the Gunners play Chelsea, Man City and Man United all away the weekend after a Champions League game. That is going to impact the selection choices or Wenger.

unfortunatly, this seems to happen every season, that arsenal, play a tough game before a c/l game or play a tough away game after a c/l game, thats why you need a big and most importantly fit squads now. though i don’t see any real danger for us in the group apart from donetsk,who could be a tough away game, if we need the points.
but hopefully we’ll survive these games and the premier league games. i feel we stronger in defence this season, and and could be stronger in mind too,with players like diarby do far this season doing really well.
i just think thiers something in the air,this year for arsenal,players are getting stronger,and seemed more focused so far….. up the gunners
Any way d fixtures is good but why after all our champion league match we need to play away in premier leagu.pls wenger add to d squad w have mucj maches to play dis season bye
Hi dear faithful gunners, I feel joy in my heart at this point that I believe arsenal can match up the so called world powers in the footballing world in terms of team organisation this footballing season. We are ready to gun them down. I predit that ARSENAL will add another record to their history this season. Arsenal is going to win all the way in the eufa champions league this season. So all GUNNERS fans, keep the faith.
