    what has happened to Alexis??

    Sucks we should now look forward to the fight of top 4 when we keep loosing at this stage of the tournament?

    **** it, let's get out of top 4 and maybe we can win uefa cup at least.

    Foooocking annoying !!

    He chased it down because he gave it away - AGAIN.

    Unlucky guys! :(
    Almost had one hell of a comeback there.
    You were our only hope in the CL this season.
    Can't see ****ty pulling off a miracle at the Camp Nou.

    What in the hell happened in that first leg?
    More to the point, both our clubs went out to frikkin Frenchies!! <grr>
    You gave a better account of yourselves than we did, in the second leg at least.

    We are the makers of our own downfall. If it had remained 2-1 in the first leg, we could've done this tie easily. We messed up. Only have ourselves to blame. We couldn't have asked for a better tie.

    Best players - Coq, Kos and Caz. The rest could've done more in my opinion (except Ospina obviously).

    He got desperate towards the end, and needed to calm down, but for 90 minutes he was quality, probing with those passes and keeping the pressure on them. If anyone deserves stick, it has to be Alexis, he was so bad on the ball.

    Whatever, good, bad, don't matter now, we sadly bottled it again, 5 years running now and can't make it out of the top 16, maybe Wenger can tout that consistent record now.

    It's so ****ing frustrating to witness the same **** year after year after year.

    Ozil had a great game, he kept everything moving, kept probing and pushing at them and was involved in great passing moves. He almost scored a free kick, played in several good free kicks including the one Sanchez/giroud almost scored late in the game. He won us several free kicks too. All round good game.

    It basically is the same ****, but just a different sesson and year. Wenger has hit his ceiling, and whatever he does he can't past this stage of the CL.

    It was always going to be a mountain to climb after that first leg!

    Ospina - 6
    Bellerin - 6
    Mert - 7
    Kosc - 8
    Monreal - 7
    Coq - 7
    Caz - 7
    Sanchez - 4
    Ozil - 7
    Welbeck - 5
    Giroud - 8

    2-0 with an awful ref away from home with two widemen who were both gash represents quite a good one-off result. Unfortunately we are consistently gash at winning Champions League games and that fault lies with Wenger and the entire team. Not good enough. Another pointless season missing out on the big two.

    As I said, we needed 2 in the first half, maybe if we didn't piss about for 35 minutes, we could have gone through. But alas, we always come up short.

    We called it on the first page, it's so predictable.

    It was doable, if you watched the game, you will see in the first half until we scored, we barely did ****. If we played with more passion-drive, we could have done something, Monaco were there to be taken.

    No point playing like this in the second leg when all you needed to do was to play decently in the first. Then you are through. Monaco is such an ordinary side. Does Wenger have a mental block about this stage of the CL ?

    You didn't see passion or drive from the players tonight?

    No, wasn't enough, we barely turned up in the first half. Should have had much more drive in the first half.
