What do you think about this draw ?

Not so difficult match...

FC Twente have no chance against us.I'm confident we will beat them.

I think too that Twente is a accessible team which we can beat !!!

i´m more rested now, because i thought that my Portuguese club would play against my Arsenal!

Vitória SC vs Gotemburgo / Basileia

FC Twente vs Arsenal FC

4-0 to Arsenal...

I'm happy with this draw

I am confident we can do it, but we should never underestimate any opponent.

Twente is managed by former england coach McClaren so they will have good knowledge of our team.

Prepare well and get pass them!
Go Gunners!

Arsenal.com reports:

Arsène Wenger will demand total concentration from his team when they take on FC Twente in the Third Qualifying Round of the Champions League.

Arsenal were paired with the Dutch club at Friday's draw in Nyon and, although Wenger's side avoided tougher-looking trips to Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray, the Frenchman still expects a tough assignment.

"It [the Champions League] is a big target for us and of course when you go to Holland you get a game," he said.

"It's a football country, the clubs are always well organised and we will be favourites. It will be important for us to be at the top of our concentration to go through.

"We play the first game away. We know we are a wanted target and we want to go to the first game with a top level concentration."

FC Twente finished a creditable fourth in the Dutch League last season, just nine points behind champions PSV Eindhoven. They lack household names on the pitch but have just appointed one off it ­ Steve McClaren.

The former England manager's presence will add interest to the tie but it will not make any difference to Wenger's preparations.

"It's the players on the pitch who play the biggest part," said Wenger.

"Steve McClaren will get his team well organised and make it difficult for us, but I still feel the biggest part will be how well we will play and how we will go into the game."

Journalists pointed out to Wenger at his Emirates Cup press conference that he had always defended McClaren during his stint as national coach.

"Yes, but I couldn't say the same about you!" replied the Arsenal manager with a smile.


Yes..I agree with you Wenger..It wont be easy as we think...

IT seems easy, I think it will be easy, but we never know what might happen... just be confident

i hope there will be no difficulties for Little Gunners.
