Nice draw after an horrific last campaign.

We'll ease past the group stages which will do a world of good for our youth products like Kalas and Ake to be playing in the CL

steaua for me, so I can meet to boys once again in Bucharest and visit Stamford Bridge for the 2nd time.

Chelsea, CSKA/Marseille, Basel/Ajax, Steaua

Chelsea is coming to town!

12 points after Basel and Steaua. We should not have problems with Schalke at Stamford Bridge.

As for Steaua - I'm glad we're playing against them so I can get to see the boys once again. I'm also glad we're playing 1st away game in Bucharest. National Arena is not a friendly ground to visit. 55.000 fans are in the stands when Steaua is playing here and if you are not fully focused, it might turn bad for you. This is why I'm happy we're playing our 1st away game here - Chelsea will be fully motivated for the 2nd win in this group and should not have many problems taking three points. Steaua's best players in the last season left the team: Rusescu for Sevilla and Chiriches for Tottenham. There are signs Marica (ex Schalke) will sign for Steaua in the next few days and some other players will come, too, but nothing special... The only concern should be the "hot" atmosphere in the stands.

They've managed to get here after games against Vardar Skopje, Dinamo Tbilisi and Legia Warsaw. Games against Legia both ended in a draw, 1-1 in Bucharest and 2-2 in Warsaw. Overall, Steaua wasn't better than Legia, but they've managed to score two away and this is why they ended up here. Legia also had some disallowed goals through this leg.

Good draw!

But lets not get ahead of ourselves and do a United against Basel

I see Chelsea not dropping more than 2 points here.

All of you forgot that Chelsea lost from Steaua. In that double against Chelsea, Steaua was better for 135 minutes, Chelsea played just 45 minutes well. So shut up.

Easy but boring.

give it a rest will you? It was the mickey fucking mouse cup, Steaua actually took it seriously and thought they'd had won the thing when they beat us. We only needed to play well for 45 minutes to score 3 goals and send you packing.

we have one of the easiest groups from this draw. basel/steaua are good teams, but we must beat them. schalke is decent normally but they have a bad coach and have started awful in to this season. everything but the first spot would be a massive dissapointment.

Piers Morgan @piersmorgan " Great news re Arsenal's CL group of death draw - we'll probably come 4th, which is like winning a trophy! #Dortmund #Marseille #Napoli LOL PIERS AT IT AGAIN! "

[Kojo 4,676]

I just went to the Arsenal forum and they are saying 'Oh of course Chelsea get the easiest group'

That is just straight up hypocrisy right there, Arsenal always get the easy groups they are worse than United, we had fucking Shaktar and Juventus last season.

why dont u just get the hell out of here. it took us just 45 minutes to beat the crap out of a shit team like yours. we were probably sleep walking the rest of the time, giving u an oppurtunity to do something.

It was City and United's turn to fall out of the group stages 2 seasons ago. Last season was us and City. This season it is Arsenal's
