As **** as we were tonight, Giroud could have had a Hat-trick and Welbeck could have scored too. I know it makes **** all difference now and we invited all of the goals that we conceded, but it could have been a different story.

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.
 
we have been ****ing awful in the CL this year, we put in one decent performance, all the others have been turgid ****e.

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.
 
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.

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.

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

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...
 
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.
