Despite our seeding in pot one, for UEFA’s Champions League Group Stage Draw this morning, we ended up with a tough draw.
Group F: Arsenal, Dortmund, Marseille, Napoli.
People seem to be more positive than negative on twitter, minus Piers Morgan and his son Spencer Morgan who are always quite pessimistic.
Here are some of the best tweets about the draw:

Thoughts
The upside to the draw is that we will have some very entertaining matches to watch. I think we will be able to get past Marseille without to much problem, both home and away. Hopefully Ramsey can dust them off again, just as he did in France two seasons ago.
Napoli and Dortmund will obviously provide much more of a test for the Gunners. I think we can certainly compete; We should make it out ahead of Marseille and Napoli, maybe with a few signings we could top Dortmund as well and go on a run.
