He looks like a douche.

But I just think it's his style of play. He knows he wouldn't be very good at doing what a lot of modern full backs do. Plus it seems Wenger likes to have one full back who crosses, the other who tries to go past players.

That 2-1 goal from Großkreutz certainly turned things around in the group: Dortmund going through at Napoli's expense and Arsenal now finishing 2nd.

So am I right in guessing that United can only face Galatasaray, Olympiacos, Schalke 04, Zenit and AC Milan?

Schalke would be ideal in terms of travel and distance.

Didn't we get them in the knock-outs a few years ago? When Neuer played for them?

6-1 on aggr. in the semi-finals back in 2011, yeah.

Arsenal looking to face Barca, Bayern, Real, PSG or Atletico because of tonight's events, ouch. Gotta feel sorry for Napoli being eliminated despite picking up 12 points, only Man City of the eight runners up can beat that.

Yeah, they knocked out Inter so we got them in the semis.

They were dog shite.

First leg in Gelsenkirchen, could have been about 8 if not for him.

Apparently, the story goes, we noticed at half time that he's not as quick getting down as he is to anything in the air so we scored a couple with Giggs and someone else nutmegging him.

Have to admit the Chelsea game was boring tonight. Dident help I was sat next to someone who clapped the whole 90 minutes even when nothing good happened and made up songs about the ref every 5 minutes

Any one else think Jenkinson is too 'small-time' for Arsenal? He's a great player like, but I just think that in his head he still plays like he's playing in League 2. Thinks like not taking many chances and basically just running the wing, crossing it and if he's defending, just boot it out. Very 'old school'. Just something I noticed recently

I think he's very aware of his limitations and doesn't try anything too fancy, which is fine for a full-back. I'm sure as he gets older and gains more experience he'll improve as a footballer but at the moment he's focusing on the basics, which is perfectly acceptable in my eyes. When he first arrived he looked awful, whereas now he looks solid more often than not and he has a good future ahead of him.

Draw on in 10 mins. Possible draws for English teams:

Arsenal: Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain or Real Madrid.

Chelsea: AC Milan, Galatasaray, Leverkusen, Olympiakos or Zenit St Petersburg.

Manchester City: Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Paris St-Germain or Real Madrid.

Manchester United: AC Milan, Galatasaray, Olympiakos, Schalke or Zenit St. Petersburg.

Realistically, our 'easiest' draw would be PSG or maybe Dortmund as they don't seem to be playing the same stuff they played last season
