The pitch was a disgrace. The refereeing wasn't great, but there can't be any excuses for that performance.
Absolutely shocking. We were rubbish.
And to think some fans paid a ton of money to be there.
Arsenal should offer them their money back

I think Arsenal87 was there - you know the guy who is crtical of the team and gets abused for not being a fan.
 
You were outplayed on the night. So what? I'd still rather watch a Wenger team than a Pulis or Allardyce one. They can't win much any more but they make football enjoyable as long as you don't care if they win. Keep up the good work.
 
We were awful tonight and deserved to get beaten. That said we were unlucky with the goals.

(1) Poor kick out by Szczesny - great finish from Boateng
(2) Offside
(3) Unlucky slip by Vermaelen
(4) Not a pen

Kind of Academic now really though.

Away to Milan.

The correct way to play.

Tight.

Defend and break.

But no - Wenger has no clue. Even losing 1-0 or 2-0 would have left us in the tie - but his useless philosophy of inane passing eventually losing it in midfield has destroyed us.

Wenger is an arrogant fool.

But as Wenger said before the game, he studied the way Spurs beat Milan last year, they played it tight, were out played but caught Milan on the break. He made it clear he wouldn't be trying that.

No Piskie - we were not unlucky tonight. You remember your article about how you agreed with Wenger's assessment on how to play this game - i.e. just go for it. Well this is the result. No manager worth his salt would go to Milan and play open.

But last year Milan were old, slow, past it and not the team they used to be. A year later its the same team, so what happened, explain?! :D

Notso - pls get your facts right. It's not the same team - this team is a year older and a year slower.....

Was surprised at just how **** Vermaelen was today. Never expected that from him.

Nobody had a good game really. I thought Rosicky at least tried to get something going. Arteta, Ramsey, Song were never even in it really.

He's actually been pretty **** in Europe for a while. he doesnt have any sense when it comes to tackling. Just rushes in when he cant possibly win the ball. Remember the Barca goal 2 seasons ago when he came rushing out, missed it and it was headed on to a completely free..... Messi!

Hello !!!

So would anyone - unless they were a Stoke or Spam fan .... actually a number of them were watching your humiliating defeat this evening so I guess that counters my first comment.

I said we were awful, but the way in which we conceded was unlucky. Did you not think the offside, the slip and the dodgy pen were unlucky?

As for going for it, we never even got started.
 
One positive: Less fixture congestion after next week. Let's hope we can bottle the FA cup so we can focus on the league and acheiving that grand prize of fourth place.



Pathetic.

I thought Chamberlain did for coming into the game so late

Robinho was offside in the build up but not when he scored.

Luck didnt come into tonight - we were just ****.

You might want to edit that and change the bits with your pathetic excuses in, AC Milan played you off the park ....

I don't think I need to edit anything. I told it like I saw it....
The pitch was a disgrace, the referee wasn't great and we were RUBBISH.
because I'm admitting that we were crap, I don't see how I could be seen to be making excuses
