PICTURE: Gunners handed tough draw in UEFA rehearsal draw
Arsenal will hope for better luck tomorrow when the actual draw for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 takes place after receiving a stern result in today’s rehearsal.
UEFA members held a practice event to prepare everything ahead of the big draw on Thursday in Nyon and even that rehearsal brought up some scintillating clashes. The Gunners were paired with Bayern Munich while Manchester United met Real Madrid.
Here were the results of UEFA’s rehearsal draw of the first knock-out round. (Again, this was just a rehearsal and NOT the final draw which takes place tomorrow)
ARSENAL IS READY TO FACE ANY CLUB AND IS DETERMIND TO PROVE CRITIS WRONG .BELIEVE ME OR NOT A REPEAT OF 2OO6 IS ON THE CARDS.
Its best to reply the earliest comment SIMPLEX you appear to have viewed & commented this article 19 Dec 2012 at 1;10 PM. The BBC website reported the draw at noonish on 20th Dec 2012 live.
With a defense that isn’t comfortable even when 3-0 up. Do me a favour
Nice draw
I think it won’t be easy if it is like that.
there not ment to be easy last 16 in biggest club cup in the world,just ask city?
I hope the mancs get RM though. they’ll get spanked
Anyone else in love with our no 10? anybody? no?
…and shout out everybody from Nairobi! 🙂
Anybody else in love with our #10? anybody? no?
…and shout out anyone and everyone from Nairobi!! 🙂
This rehearsal should come to pass in Jesus name. Amen ten times. The team I watched against Reading can beat Bayern. I’m alright by that.
Any team is welcome..
malaga
In my opinion it wouldn’t be that bad for us to get a tough draw, if we overcome a team like Munich it could give us confidence for the rest of the season and compition, and if we lose we just concede that they are the better team, also its one tougher opponent out of the next round =)
Arsenal is not fear to face any team bcos we are capable and conpetent to face any callenge that comes across our way.
I’ll like us to play real madrid, that’s where I want us to prove ourselves.
We can’t play them you moron, they qualified 2nd!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Bayern who?
ARSENAL MUST HAVE WINING MENTALITY INOTHER TO SUCCEED ANY CLUB… LET THE DRAWS COME AND LET THE GAMES BEGING.
Barca and were out of tha competetion, no doubt!!
As long as were not drawn against Bradford I dont care who we get.
Arsenal re biger team who can surprice people at any time..i see arsenal trashing baryer munich out of thise championship group.
It was great 1 but tough to play with arsen squard against experience squard.(BERYAN)
We are out folks. No dreaming!
arsenal is ready 2 face any team in uefa champions league at round of 16 draw
Whoever the opponent is we are capable of beating any team under a fine condition.
Nothing is impossible in football it might turned to be a blessing in disguise for Arsenal. Better luck.
i prefer arsenal and brotia dutmond for the draw
Has long tha we dnt draw against swansea am sure arsenal we go through
C’mon have some faith. we play swansea at least 2 more times maybe 3 more times this season do you honestly think they will continue to “MIchu” us all the way??
What?
The draw ended just as the rehearsel did….
Amazing!!! This is the real draw as well…
Same draw as the real one?!
That’s weird…because that’s exactly the same draw as just came out!
this is the exact same official draw, wth
is it just me or this is the actual draw result of today?
Just seen the draw live and it is identical to the rehearsal. Spooky!
Hold on, the actual draw has just been held and the result is exactly the same. How much of a coincidence is that!!!!!
How strange this turned out to be the actual draw. What happened there then?
You’ve obviously just updated the photo with one taken off the telly just now, haven’t you?
its been hear since morning
You’re obviously just seeing this article now aren’t you? It was published yesterday and I haven’t even bothered to change it, thinking today’s draw would be way different.
bravo!
Screams to me of Fix now that this is actual draw
pliz predict that arsenal will buy messi come jan
Haha, maybe I should become a prophet now 😀
This is too tough 4 arsenal,but we hv faith of winning bt despite of our performance dat does nt cause any alart bt till then.
SO tell me something… If you posted this yesterday, how come the actual draw has today has yeilded the SAME results.. something fishy going on here.
I read this article when he first wrote it, he defo hasn’t changed it. Look at the comments from above all saying about united getting RM and arsenal getting Munich. What’s going in uefa?!?!
That’s what I’m saying.. I read this artical at 8am this morning, so know it was posted before the live draw..
Fix Fix Fix
Does this imply the result was preconceived?
F…..ng S…….ttttt everybody seem to notice this. If the rehearsal is same as the actual draw then we’ve all been played. Seriously who did’nt suspect this all along. Football is the new wrestling .. ha ha and I thought some teams were that good.
Why is identical to the actual draw?
WTF… How is it the same as the real draw?
This is nice draw. I pray this to be the actual draw
arsenal is best of the best & arsenal are bayer munik out of the uefa we truest arsen arsenal 3 munik 0
How is it that this rehearsal was reported 24 hrs before the real draw and ended up with an identical outcome? The odds on that with 16 teams in are astronomical – in fact, they are even bigger than that, because it isn’t just that the same teams were paired together, but each pair came out in exactly the same order. This is not random chance: it has to be some kind of fix.
I want to know that as well. This is bizarre. I clicked on this yesterday and didn’t really pay much attention to it then. Just got home from work and the draw was exactly right. What??
That means the draw was fixed, nothing else!
we need to be active in the january transfer season
The draw was fixed no doubt
