Arsenal win group F, thanks in no part to their victory yesterday. However several decent teams have come up just short in their groups so odds are we'll face a game opponent next round.
Forgot we still need to go to Greece in a couple weeks to finish out the stage. Would imagine that all the kids will get a run in that one, considering we have the group sewn-up already.
The full squad is: Arshavin, Benayoun, Chamakh, Coquelin, Djourou, Eastmond, Fabianski, Frimpong, Mannone, Miquel, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozyakup, Park, Rosicky, Santos, Squillaci, Vermaelen, Yennaris.

FrimCoq is a defensive lineup... little passing and creativity in the midfield... would be surprised if we put one in today.
Olympiakos are pressing us like crazy, pushing all the way up to our keeper, everyone ahead of the midfield line.
Fabianski with a poor clearance, nearly lobbed. Then comes out and collides with an Olympiakos player in the next play.
Fabianski stretchered out, probably half because he's sore from the collision, half because he wants to get the hell out of this game.
Looks like he'll stay in the game. Was writhing for a while after a wild hack from the Greek player (booked).
Stretcher is out again, this time for Papadopolous, though the replay didn't show much of anything...
Could be 3-nil after another giveaway in front of goal... we're completely undone by Olympiakos' pressure.
