    Don't expect many starters to make the trip to Greece for this one. Arsenal's place in the next round is secure and with a Liverpuddle match coming up on Sunday, the teenagers should be taking the field for our final first round UCL match.

    As expected, the teenagers will be trotted out today. Thomas Cruise, Jack Wilshire, Kyle Bartley, Fran Merida, Aaron Ramsey, Craig Eastmond, Mark Randall and others should make the pitch.

    lol it was fun to watch, before the game I was scared not having Ribery and Toni. Also watched Utd little bit and caught a half of R. Madrid.

    Yeah I watched some of the Madrid game... hoping someone would go spikes-up on Christiano... no luck.

    Looking forward to seeing some of these younger no-names.

    Tom Cruise has received a bit of praise from Wenger, but that could be a false preaching.

    I won't really be that into the game today, as it's playing towards nothing. Have we secured first place in our group or could we risk falling to second if we lose?

    We're assured first place.

    Liege could conceivably leapfrog Olympiacos should they win and have a better GD than Olympiacos (if they lose).

    A draw guarantees advancement for Olympiacos.

    Yeah, in that case, I don't really care about the result, but I care about watching the players.

    A rather uninspired effort from the youngsters, I must say.

    I thought it was a great game by the lads, and it was a huge step-up from Barnet last week.
