    Oh my God, please man, just don't, seriously. And just for the record, Monaco could have had 5 as well, so let's not pretend this one way traffic and we missed our chances to beat them, they missed many chances as well to humiliate us even more.

    Just ****ing put your hands up and say NOT GOOD ENOUGH, shoulda would coulda **** that, the fact we miss these chances is the epitome of our problems, but you say oh if it went in, that's the ****ing point! THEY'RE NOT GOING IN because we're not good enough, simples.

    Giroud, great player, but not world class elite. Simple as that.

    Our finishing tonight was terrible as well, giroud could have had a hat rock, Walcott, Sanchez and Welbeck all could have scored. Some of the misses were shocking tbh. Had we buried a single one of those it's a totally different game. Not good enough and I hope the whole front line feels ashamed of themselves.

    Mertesacker and ospina let down the defense too, no idea where meets head was at but his decision making was terrible. Ospina I thought should have done better with at least two of the goals. It's time Szcz got back into the team.

    The game against Utd in the FA Cup is all of a sudden looking extra important...

    Because we (normally) see great football and in the last 20 years, we have seen more success than 95 other league teams. Plus I am happy that my team is sustainable for the rest of my life at the moment.

    Also, the best league in the world has once again been shown up in Europe.

    We're now going to have to hear our players' same old pathetic excuses, and same old bullshit talk of "we will go there and fight we have to" just **** off you ****ing idiots, you've had 5 attempts to get it right, and you dumb ****s still singing the same tune.

    We need to really focus on the FA cup now. Our only real prospect now. No more talking It easy and go all out for that.

    We will probably end up bottling that too just to complete our usual collapse during February-March, we have become consistent at it.

    In a game where we were at home and the onus was on us to win this game against - let's be honest - a very average side, it makes it worse that they completely outplayed us in every possible way.

    Defensively? Better
    Midfield? Ran us ragged
    Up front? Their pace and movement tore our defence to shreds.

    They could have easily had another two goals.

    I don't think I've seen us dominated and comprehensively beaten by such a mediocre side for a long while.

    With an attutide like that, we are never going to see this team go anywhere, sadly I suspect many members of our board hold the same view as you. We are sustainable, but we also have the resources and should be doing more than we are currently doing. Oh and we have not played 'great' football on a consistent basis for about four years now.

    Starts with the probably turgid drawn game with Everton on the weekend... failing to turn up at Old Trafford the week after and ending our yearly collapse by gracefully bowing out of the CL with a 0-0 draw or a defeat in Monaco. Fun times to look forward to.

    To be honest with you sport is about the here and now and Wenger has done good things for us in the past, of that there is no question. At the moment and for the last few years, he just hasn't cut it and when we finally spent big, we still saw the same issues with different personnel. For the umpteenth time.

    I'm telling you now - at no other top club would Wenger have been afforded as much time as he has done at Arsenal. There is something culturally wrong at our club where we are just willing to accept this and settle for 4th. We want to try and see some progression in not just the team, but the manager. So far we haven't seen any in both. It's the same old.

    If past form is anything to go by we will play amazingly away to Monaco only to win 2-0 and lose on away goals, left to rue the stupid goal we conceded at the end of the first leg...

    Talking about FA cup, I can't see on this evidence how this arsenal side can get anything at old Trafford.

    To be honest we were so thoroughly outclassed I'm not even that pissed off anymore, we got what we deserved, we suck, not good enough for Europe, we're dropping out again in the round of 16 for the 5th year in a row, so no need to beat yourselves up about it. It's done, over, finished, we were ****. Maybe next year.....as if lol.

    Frankly unforgivable to concede the last goal. So bloody naive.
