    Wenger:
    First place in the group is hugely important. Consider the possible opponents if results were decided today, ranked by ELO scores (from Football Database; for reference Arsenal is #6, BVB is #8, Chelsea is #9) Remember, association protection exists for the round of 16, so we couldn't play e.g. Man City this round.

    Bayern Munich - #1
    Barcelona - #2
    Real Madrid - #3
    PSG - #4
    Atletico Madrid - #5

    vs

    Bayer Leverkusen - #11
    Zenit St. Petersburg - #23
    Olympiakos - #20
    AC Milan- #25
    Schalke 04 - #28
    Galatasaray - #38

    Given the difference in strength between those two pots, winning our group means a Arsenal will be SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to make the quarterfinals. Even the worst possible draw from pot 2 (Bayer Leverkusen) is probably better than the best possible draw from pot 1 (Atletico Madrid).

    I will reserve all scenario speculation until we qualify for the knock out stages, but I will say that despite going out in the round of 16 each of the last 3 seasons, there have been some spectacular performances each of those 3 years:

    Arsenal 2-1 Barcelona . . . Koscielny's coming out party, Jack was the man, Arshavin's strike
    Arsenal 3-0 Milan . . . I mean, once the 3rd went in, you really thought we would pull it off
    Bayern 0-2 Arsenal . . . An outstanding team effort produced a consolation win that turned our entire domestic season around

    Wenger: "Southampton had more possession than us? Tottenham had more possession than Man City..." Priceless!

    I know Ian Wright is an Arsenal legend, but I cannot stand him.

    The commentary team on the feed im watching give our team NO RESPECT. Teams don't fear Giroud. Still haven't passed a test. The team lacks "steel".

    F*ck them. Can't wait til we take the league.

    Guys if you need a stream seriously watch the one I posted, no offense to IU Gunner's but it's much better quality

    Only downside is it's Andy Townsend
