she wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon (8)

good start to the CL campaign.

Hope we avoid the bigboys until the QF/SF stage, and then we should have a full strength team+ a new GK.**

**Heres to hoping :p
 
Did not expect this kind of result at all, couldn't watch the game though so can't judge how poorly they played. Will have to watch highlights somewhere.

Arsenal :wub:

On the contrary, dominated majority of the game.

I may be getting completely confused here, but i'm pretty sure Redrup meant how poorly Shakhtar played, as opposed to Arsenal - who "dominated the majority of the game" - unless you're being sarcastic, and I just haven't realised! :$
 
To be fair you would worry if Arsenal didnt dominate them at home......

Shakhtar are a very good side. You'd expect Arsenal to beat them, yes, however they're no walkovers. If I was an Arsenal fan, I wouldn't worry if they didn't 'dominate them at home'.

I'm an arsenal fan... Agree with you Ben - obviously delighted with such a heavy win (that i really didn't expect!) but i did expect a win, being at home - I still thought it would be a fairly even contest, given the way Shakhtar play football, and the amount of Brazilians...

Expecting a win and expecting to dominate are two very different things.

No, I know - that's why i said i was inbetween yours and the other post - I'll edit it because actually ik'm pretty much agreeing with you :S

Fair enough, was just saying because Shakhtar are actually a pretty good outfit.

Agreed. Lots of Brazilians, play good football, and consistently reach this stage of the comp. (will also probably reach KOs) - but they were poor last night.

Indeed, they have a good balance and Eduardo and the resigning of Chygrynskiy has made them even more of a force. Never watched the match last night but I expect it was one of those nights for Arsenal where they score 1 or 2, and then just rip teams apart.

Pretty much. Soft first goal, good second before HT - Second half they just didn't turn up until they scored really...
