Still annoys me that we lost to Monaco of all teams.

Glorious bullshit more like. Their keeper had the easiest last 20 mins ever. No one wanted to shoot

Ramsey scored in the last 20 mins and sanchez and giroud had that tangle that the keeper saved

What a load of nonsense
I respect all opponents and know that if you are not on your game football can bite you on the bum
I refuse to take responsibility for a manager failing to send his team out with the tactical nouse to beat the opposition
It was a decent display tonight but I draw no comfort from that

Had Sky Sports News on all night, don't know why I haven't turned it off yet because they keep replaying the game and the chances we had to win it :(

only saw first half, had a bloody meeting which cut my viewing time in half, ffs.

just like the first leg, the chances , the chances were there.
couldnt quite do it.
Monaco had more luck- Welbeck in both matches- denied by a stray leg.

those who are vehement about Wenger are kinda funny- and yet their argument has merit as well.
maybe the squad could be better with a different manager. maybe not.

too bad. wouldve like to see Ozil score a goal that really meant something
Kai Havertz nutmegged ur GK

I think most arsenal fans would welcome anyone who is mature motivated and prepared to work for the good of the team.

So we'd all welcome him!!

But there's not a chance in hell that a player of iniestas ability would want to play for Wenger!!!

Stupid decisions lost us the first leg but we were unlucky not to score three last night. That blocked Welbeck shot could of easily deflected in or bounced to Giroud.

Monaco's manager branded us "disrespectful" and refused to shake Wenger's hand after the match because Wenger snubbed him at the end of the 1st leg.

tbf if we'd only lost 2-1 in the first leg we'd probably have only won 1-0 last night. We knew we had to come out attacking yesterday as we needed 3 goals, needing 2 doesn't hold the same weight of need or urgency, you can get 1 goal each half rather than 1 every 30 mins.

The damage was done in the first leg but by an overall shit performance rather than just being sloppy at the end, losing 2-1 at home to Monaco was crap enough nevermind 3-1. We should have won both legs by at least two goals with the chances we had, they weren't taken. Giroud was the problem in game 1, Sanchez and Ozil last night with Giroud not hitting the target too well either (twice from 5 yards) albeit scoring a decent goal.

We will not get a better draw. What a way to feck it up. That last minute goal at the Emirates has cost us the advancement.

THanks for that Starman.

Your correction is all the more revelatory for just how good Iniesta is as a player, and just how terrible Arsenal are as a team!!

And yet, we're being told that all is fine at Arsenal PLC!!
