For a club of our stature these stats are ****ing atrocious! How bad was it? The stats The 10-2 aggregate defeat is the worst suffered by an English side in the Champions League. It was Arsenal's biggest home loss since November 1998 (5-0 against Chelsea in the League Cup). Only one Champions League tie has seen a greater margin of victory for a team - Bayern Munich v Sporting Lisbon (12-1, 2009). Only Barcelona (27 against Celtic) have scored more Champions League goals against a single opponent than Bayern have against Arsenal (26).
Hopefully that was Wenger's last ever CL game as Arsenal manager and with the way things have been going, it's a fitting end. Also, BT sport were doing some sort of feature on Thiago Motta which I was watching while waiting for our game to start and they showed highlights of the 2006 final, which was even more painful to watch, but **** me in those 11 years, our decline in terms of even getting near to winning this trophy is pretty amazing, we moved stadiums to compete for the big trophies and against the likes of Bayern, and despite having more money, we can now only dream of even reaching another CL final, just humiliation year after year.
I really think this is possibly one of our darkest days in modern Arsenal football times. The time has well and truly come to seek greener pastures and rejuvenate this previously wonderful club we were once all proud to support. What is really going on behind the scenes? It baffles the **** out of me, it truly does! I've supported this wonderful club for the best part of 40 odd years and have never witnessed Arsenal be humiliated on so many occasions this past 2 - 3 seasons. Is it not so blindingly obvious to the board and those decision makers that run our club that something is not right and has not been right for a long time now. The final straw has broken for me after tonight debacle and I only hope something good (change in management/board/personnel) comes out of it. All I want is the club of old back, the club that used to play with pride, passion, dignity and a desire to ****ing win! We have become the laughing stock of not just the Premiership but Europe too and it's not good enough! rant over! time for bed!!
Wenger added: 'We produced a performance with the spirit and pride that we wanted. After that the story finishes badly. I think this club is in a great shape that at this moment is going through a difficult situation. Either Wenger's mental health has declined or he's WUMing to epidemic levels.
So what happens now if you win the FA cup and go on a great end of season run and finish second? This could happen, it would be very typical Arsenal.
Bayern fully deserved the win it must be said. We were woeful and they were worlds apart from us on the pitch. Having said that they really are a pathetic club. Their tweet after the game (official account) says it all. No class.
I'm sorry, to which tweet are you referring? Bayern Munich can be accused of many things, having no class is certainly not one of them! When we beat them on their own patch to win the CL, they were the most gracious hosts in defeat you could ever hope for. What did the tweet say?
Their twitter account has been wumming the crap out of arsenal since the minute the draw was announced. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if Bayern's chief of online communication is HIAG.
I don't really use Twatter, precisely because of **** like this. Be interested to see what kind of **** they are coming out with though. Like I said, we have faced and defeated Bayern a few times in the last decade, and they have always been pretty humble about it. Probably just got some 18 year old twat running their Twitter, HIAG
Don't honestly care if Ozil wants to leave. Sanchez is going, nothing we can do to stop that now. I just hope it's abroad and not to City/Chelsea/Utd
Craziness. He's ready-made for Bayern to take over from the aging Robben and Ribery. No-one who actually has any sense of ambition (which Sanchez clearly would if he chose to leave Arsenal) would move to Serie A nowadays.
Aren't Renato Sanchez, Douglas Costa and Kingsley Coman their successors? They've also been linked with some sort of clause for Serge Gnabry, just to rub salt in that particular wound.
Renato Sanchez is more of a box-to-box central midfielder isn't he? The others maybe, but Sanchez is better than all of them.
