Same old story with Juve (Italians in general), Suffer against the shittiest teams and win against the toughest out there.

We'd probably get through this group though (by a small margin most likely).

What game is everyone watching tonight?

Or have you all decided you don't much like the CL after last night? :D

Hard to look past BVB-Real Madrid as the most interesting game.

Can't decide how that one'll go, Fred.

Arsenal are alright, for the most part, but Schalke seem to have a decent side this year.

Arsenal is a team that has blown hot and cold this season, Santi and Arteta are pretty reliable quality players that you can be sure will consistently deliver, however you then have frustrating inconsistent players upfront like Gervinho, Giroud and Podolski, who at times just do not turn up.

All in all, I do think we are a better team than last season though.

I haven't seen much of Arsenal this season (only against Liverpool and West Ham, as far as I can recall), but they do seem a little better than last season.

The team looks more compact as a defensive unit and Cazorla and Arteta are good at dictating the game and opening things up.

They lack reliable forwards, as you say, and when Diaby is out there isn't much muscle in midfield.
