I'd like to say things will get better but I doubt it, the day Kroenke took control was the day Arsenal died, our transfer budget has just been cut from £50M to £20M (net), expect a no one manager and more Thursday night failure.

Can't wait for the summer when I can forget about football, oh wait.. f*cking world cup Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Yep. All due respect to Atletico who deserve to win the tie, but we should be nearer to Barcelona and Madrid than them given revenue, revenue, fanbase etc. The fact that they beat us fair and square on the pitch speaks volumes.

Classic fucking rope a dope. 180 minutes of huffing and puffing, dominating possession and chances and never once looked like winning the tie.

Atletico completely restrict the space down the centre so the way to get at them is down the flanks and get crosses in. In fairness we tried that time and time again but those 2 useless fuckwits Monreal and BellEnd were abysmal tonight.

The only positive I can take from that game is that I screamed and shouted the most during a game for about 5 years!

I can feel the passion returning for me! Roll on the 2018/19 Season!

How many waves did Oblak make tonight?

We had given up long before the end. 1 goal over 180 minutes (80 against 10 men) is shit and you can’t gift away two goals at this level.

This was no heroic defeat, it was a limp and deserved exit in a tie where we were gifted a golden opportunity. They’re a good side but no more than that.

Danny Welbeck is utter crap. Ozil is stealing his paycheck, I don't care how many piss easy assists he gets against the bottom sides in the PL. He's one of the highest paid players in the world, but makes fuck all difference when the going gets tough against top opposition. Ramsey, Miki, Lacazette, even bloody Wilshere all more likely to create something out of nothing.

Rambo was also shocking in the 2nd half. 1st half, he was good. He tried forcing the play. Ozil shit throughout. Bellend was awful. And Monreal has a number of chances to put the ball in and it looked more like he was trying to play it to Bellend.

1 shot on target all game and that was Xhaka. Really sums up the last 3/4 years of Wenger - loads of possession, but no ideas in the final third.

No desire, Roma fought to the last seconds and they were 3 goals down, our lads gave up on 70th minute... of the first game. :cussing:
