It's Roma! Arsenal must travel to the eternal city in Champions League
Arsenal will travel to Rome at least once this season after the Gunners drew Roma in the last 16 of the Champions League today.
Club director Danny Fiszman was in Switzerland to witness the draw and must have been sweating a little as the cards began to stack up against Arsenal, with only Barcelona and Roma left as potential opponents.
However, Arsene Wenger's team avoided a repeat of the 2006 final when Sporting Lyonnais were drawn against Barca, leaving only Roma in the draw as our opponents - and a potential preview of the city where this season's final will be played.
Elseshere in the draw, Chelsea face Juventus, Liverpool were drawn against Real Madrid, Man United will play Inter Milan, Villareal play Panathinaikos, Athletico Madrid v Porto and Sporting Lisbon face Bayern Munich.

Best of a bad bunch really. Quite pleased under the circumstances, although it's all tough from here on in
not that bad of a draw
Problem will be that the second leg is away so we will need something like a 2-0 at home!
i dont think it such a bad draw ..i also think its good to start at home coz there's a lot of pressure to win on our own backyard...people expect us to have a good game always but its not that way always
Changing the subject;
Can you ask the Sperz fan emptying your garbage why it is that we get 60,000. for reserve games in the Carling Cup and they have 6,000. empty seats for a European tie. This new stadium of theirs, is it going to be two sided like Blackpool.
Big club my Arse. Bunch of Wankers.
