UCL: Arsenal Will Play Well In Europa League

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists he will be looking to do well in the Europa League should his side exit the Champions League at the Group stages.
The Gunners entertain Dinamo Zagreb tonight with their hopes of progressing from Group F hanging in the balance after three defeats from their opening four games.

Arsenal must win to keep any chance of getting out of the group stages alive, and even then anything other than a victory for Bayern Munich over Olympiakos in Germany would see Wenger’s side eliminated – but they could finish third and drop into the Europa League.
In the past, the Europa League has been treated with disdain by a number of English clubs but Wenger is adamant he would treat the tournament with respect.
Wenger said:
“We would take the competition seriously – but we are not out yet.
“I believe that this problem is exaggerated a little bit in England because we play Wednesday and Saturday, so it is the same as Thursday and Sunday. I can’t see the difference.
“There are plenty of examples in Portugal and Spain where teams have taken it seriously and won the championship. Benfica are the example, Sevilla have done well.”
Will Arsenal relegate to the Europa League this season?

Jose Mourinho’s sacking at Chelsea has led to all sort of plot twists and intrigue. Far from a routine results-oriented sacking, there was a lot more to Mourinho’s sacking than meets the eye, the conspiracy theorists insist. A narrative of a dressing room mutiny has persisted throughout the season, and ultimately proved to be Mourinho’s downfall – again if you believe in the smoke and mirrors stuff.
