It's Bayern Munich in the Champions League
| The votes have been cast again and you'd have prefered to have had FC Porto in the First Knock-out Round of the UEFA Champions League. Not a bad choice, since they're obviously not the team they were last year. Real Madrid and Werder Bremen would have been your second choice, though given Bremen's current performance, I have to wonder why? At the draw this morning though, Arsenal were paired with Bayern Munich with a potentially historic trip to the Olympic Stadium on Tuesday February 22nd, and the Germans returning to Highbury on Wednesday March 9th, 2005. The fixture list for the season has been updated with these new games. The full draw for the First Knock-out Phase was: Real Madrid vs Juventus
FC Porto vs Inter Milan Barcelona vs Chelsea Werder Bremen vs Lyon Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen PSV Eindhoven vs Monaco Man Utd vs AC Milan Bayern Munich vs Arsenal | poll_process(10);?> |
| With that over with, it's time to look forward to the January transfer window. Given the rumours circulating about Shay Given's imminent departure from the Toon and the possibility that van der Saar could leave Fulham before the end of the season, who would you like to see between the posts for The Arsenal - one of our established players, one of the reserves or someone new? If you choose other, leave a comment for this post letting us know who you'd want! | |
