I think I did mentioned in my earlier posts that I was waiting for the day Fabregas, Flamini or Hleb to be injured. It did and the result turned against Arsenal's way. My prayer was finally answered.

Wenger - I don’t mind if we have to face a major side
Arsenal v Steaua Bucharest
Champions League Group Stage
Arsenal Stadium
Wed, Dec 12, 2007, 7.45pm
By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger will be perfectly happy to take on a major name in the Champions League Knockout Stage.
Arsenal will finish second in Group H unless they better Sevilla’s result at Slavia Prague in the final round of matches on Wednesday. If they are runners-up, they are far more likely to draw a European power.
As it stands, Arsenal would be facing either Barcelona, Porto, Inter, Milan or Real Madrid. On first sight it is a considerably tougher task than if they topped the group where the current situation would mean they would have either Celtic, Rangers, Fenerbahce, Roma, Rosenborg or Olympiakos.
However Wenger is not prepared to follow the accepted wisdom.
“I feel for us maybe it is not necessarily a disadvantage to play the big clubs,” he said. “At least the big clubs will play [football] as well.
“Last year, we lost against Eindhoven, who refused to play in the first leg. Then, in the second game, they just waited for one counter-attack. We struggled more in that game than we had done the season before against Real Madrid.
“Maybe when you play against Real Madrid or Barcelona, you say 'what a hell of a task' but then you face a different problem because they will come out and play.
“If we do finish second in the group, nobody would be especially keen to play against us. But having said that I still want to finish top.”
* The draw for the Knockout stage of the Champions League will take place on Friday, December 21 in Nyon, Switzerland at 11am UK time.
