Bar Monaco, if you look at the draws we have had at the quarter final stage, there are not many teams out there who could compete with Bayern Munich and Barcelona. No shame in going out to them to be honest. I'd rather go out to them than Genk!
I wouldn't write him off just yet. Statistically, he was very good at Valencia and was a consistent performer in a team who were performing absolute panties!!! (not even pants!!) I think he's done pretty well considering it's a new defensive partnership.
It's the way we've gone about it though. Uniquely pathetic. Just extraordinary levels of unprofessionalism. As I say, and totally unique to Arsenal under Wenger. Unforgettable comedy. What we've seen, you shouldn't see at that level. How does it happen every time?
It's like watching a highly qualified CEO of a huge corporation turn up for an important meeting, dressed impeccably, with a carrier bag full of human excrement, and see them take a sip of water before spraying the sh!t at everyone. Then laughing hysterically as he produces a huge crack pipe and blasts himself into a crack stupor before disbelieving eyes. Bizarre.
And those guys that accept humiliating defeats against top sides, embarrassing collapses and groundhog day type deficencies for a decade are all over this forum too.You see these angry dads in the park shouting at their sons for not having enough fight and balls. Bit like the start of the Journey in FIFA 17 when the hero gets fouled and his dad shouts at him for not being tough enough and storms off.

What he means is that it was basically tie over in the first leg, in catastrophic fashion. Then a "heroic loss" in the second leg to salvage some pride. A good result in isolation but always falling short of the nessesary scoreline. That last line is very much a microcosm of arsenal the last 10 years or so.
Nail on the head. You shouldn't be losing by those kind of margins at this level, we're all meant to be quality sides playing at the highest level of club football.
Nonsense. It can happen at this level. Bayern got whooped 5-0 on agg against Real Madrid in 2013. Real Madrid then went on to whoop Athletico Madrid 4-1 in the final (Managed by Simeone BTW). Barcelona beat PSG 5-1 on agg at te QF stage in 2014, looks like PSG ae going to return the favour after the 4-0 hiding they got in France. My point is that these results can and do happen at this level which I have just proven to you. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and accept the better team won on the day. even in 2010 we beat Barcelona at home and but for the Van Persie sending off early in the game, I think we could have beaten them over the 2 legs.
