You can’t imagine that Arsene Wenger is quaking too much in his boots after the draw for the Champions League third qualifying round was made on Friday. However, he probably would have wanted to avoid a team managed by someone with a reasonably good knowledge of English football, having enjoyed / endured an ill-fated recent reign as manager of the national team.
That’s right, Arsenal are playing FC Twente as they aim to land a place in the group stages of the Champions League. The Gunners travel to Holland for the first leg in ten days time, before hosting their opponents a fortnight later at Ashburton Grove.
So then, is it more a case of how much Arsenal will win by, rather than whether they will win? At least McClaren has an immediate opportunity to show that he’s not a failure when it comes to management, especially if he can run his Premier League opponents close over the two legs. Really i'll smelling what aggregate score will be?
