Grüße me old Posi-drives!

So, today the 21.1026, The Mighty Old Cannon hauls its operation to face off with south Germans Bayern Munich, at the Allianz Arena, in the next of our Champions League clashes. KO is at 9.00pm local time and expected weather is cloudy with 98% chance of rain. Temps are 9° ( feels like 2°).

So, after the scrappy not-so-elegant fight off in the Forest we now head south and take on the Kane gang. Bayern are currently top of the Bundesliga, despite being unbeaten ( in all tournaments) however, they are tied on points with BVB, and are only one point ahead of two other clubs. Despite the 3-1 beating we gave them last year, we don’t seem to be as coherent as we could be, perhaps the loss of Martinelli and Trossard has affected us deeply? If we are going to see an Arsenal collapse then it could well be against the Bavarians.

But we have a good defence, Forest has been a tough hunting ground for us, for nearly a decade, and the CL doesn’t have the same shadow-hangover of corruption that the PL has at the moment, so who knows? Bayern are certainly not invincible as the Norwegian Viking FK showed us last time out, but we must keep are Guns pointed in the right directions as they also gave fellow Scandinavians Bod/Glimt a 5-0 thrashing.

Missing in action for the Gun, are Big Willie, Tzolis and Mr Hincapié.

Feeling the wurst for Bayern are, Musiala, Olise (suspended), Kimmich is a doubt, but probably will be back, as will be veteran goalkeeper Neuer.

I knocked on Statto HQs door and outpoured the odours of Himmel un Ääd, happy days with the Flönz they said. Give me the stats said I and they did.  Bayern Munich (12th ) 45.8% chance of winning, Arsenal FC (8th), by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen, a 29% chance.

Next up, the Gunners host Everton at the Emirates on Saturday for a 3 o’clock KO. Till then, may your horses be lucky. COYG!
