The worst part about it all is knowing we're fucking stuck with him indefinitely.

These endless glorious failures ('yeah. but we're finishing second now. Yeah, but we got to a Champions League semi-final, we got to a League Cup semi final, my man won us two Community Shields) are exhausting. We've lived this life before. It's fucking daunting watching us repeat the same fucking thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

It's not about 'having to win' or feeling entitled to - that's silly. It's about wanting to learn from the failures, build on the small wins and small steps, to actually start BEING a trophy winning threat/force after this long, and tedious, project that we've supposed to 'be excited' for.

I'm fucking bored of being stuck in 2008.

If this tonight has told me anything it is that well never win this tournament in my lifetime :( Like the stupid auld fanny that i am I started to believe after Madrid :cry: but this limp dicked defeat tonight has put it to bed :(
All you need is a decent set of players and a proper manager and you can win it. We've never had a proper manager the whole time we've been in this fucking thing. Our best bet was probably 1991-92 with GG and his defence at their peak but we ended up with Benfica in the second round, played poorly at home and went out. Ever since then, it's been a case of waiting to get found out against a decent team playing under a proper manager. We've had about threw decent performances in 25 years of this shit.

Bringing on Nwaneri on with 5 minutes to go says it all. Arteta was too busy waving his hands at the crowd rather than putting someone on that could lift them.
Odegaard must be thinking that Clive got away for years with pointing to cover up his shiteness, why can't I.

I’m his biggest critic on here but Partey was a huge loss tonight, and not just because he wasn’t out there but because it also forced us to move our best finisher back into midfield.

That then gets compounded by yet another Odegaard 0/10 disaster performance, combined with an anonymous Saka display and a now customary Martinelli gilt edged miss.

Those few ministers either side of HT were pivotal. Martinelli’s miss and the offside, score either/both of those and it’s a totally different game.

We got neither and here we are in a big bag of shit as a result. In huge games like this you need someone to stand up and grab it by the throat, sadly we collectively shit the bed from the off and looked like rabbits in the headlights.

As buzzing as I was that we beat Real, that result should be put in the context that Ancelloti thought it was ok to leave Alaba exposed one on one against Saka so safe to say it tactically suited us. PSG weren't great tonight but didn't need to be, just avoid giving us space and we become null and void. Arteta is clueless and the fact that a coward like Odegaard is his captain tells me everything. On the plus side, only 90 more minutes to suffer through until August :cry:

All the optimism on here I just never saw. Partey’s booking fucked us. Rice deep and no threat as a result. A slow ponderous midfield formation which they could exploit. A fucking suicidal booking.

..... and Raya has just talked a load of utter shit on the TV interview. Who is he trying to kid? All our players played well. Really. We were completely outclassed and got away with it. A stuffing however awaits.

We had peak Henry, Vieira, Pires, Bergkamp etc and still didn't win ths trophy, we ain't doing it with this lot.

Wenger was in the crowd tonight, was his typical kind of European performance

We'll NEVER win anything for the next 20-30 years. We'll go close to Newcastle 70 years with nothing. A nothing team with nothing fans....BOTTLE JOBS, BOTTLE TEAM

I said months ago that the stupid cone boy does not rate Nwanieri and tonight was more proof of that

Quite honestly, the kroenke's should be going to the cone boy at seasons end and telling him that either he gets rid of captain invisible or they will get rid of both of them - I see all these bu!!shit posts on social media over the post couple months speculating our starting line up for next season with various new signings added, and every single one of them has this pussified c.unt still in the team, and THAT more than any other reason is why the cone boy needs to be sacked. When we beat madrid we had a few posters on here sucking his cock and praising him to the hilt, despite the fact that we have been dogshite in every domestic game for the past few months - its like they dont recognise that fact.

Can I also defend the crowd who are getting bashed on here tonight - lets gets things right and admit that when the team play with energy and conviction it raises the crowd noise massively, but how do the fans get going watching that shite tonight ?? Those gutless bottlers are paid a fortune regardless and instead of players waving their arms at fans to get them going, they should maybe try working harder and making more of an effort to close down psg players instead of trotting up beside them and doing fcuk all ? :rubchin:

Tbf rodders, every single time saka got the ball they doubled up and trebled up on him - he was our ONLY attacking threat in the first half and tbf to him he didnt hide and kept looking for the ball and tried to take the game to them

Crowd ought to be ashamed of themselves
Th ballot has fucked the atmosphere. Absolute shit show.
Amazon were showing them all pre-match with smoke flares waving flags under the railway bridge. Why don't they go into the ground and do that? Instead they act like a load of pussycats bricking it. I have seen more vociferous crowds at Lords and Wimbledon.
That lot under the bridge are priced out.
I went to the QF - £140 a ticket. It’s ridiculous, and that’s if you make the 10% chance of getting a ticket!

Game has gone - because Arteta who should be hounded out of the club, will instead be glorified as someone who got us to a CL semi final :roll:
