When you have the like's of this guy getting into your team sums it up for me.One word for me sums up where we are as a football club "stagnation".It really has gone way past the time for change.Quote:

Fine margins and as usual we fall on the wrong side of them.
Just got home and fuck it. We bossed the 1st half, lost shape in the 2nd conceded and then flamini happened. the rest is history. I was more fucked off with the cunts that left with 10 mins to go, yeah we were 0-1 but support the team FFS!!!!!!
Yeah Flamini was at faultQuote:

Agreed on that, fucking cunts
Let the pair of em f*** off. If they want to leave, they can leave. If anything it helps the next manager keep the very players that want to play for the shirt.Quote:

Nothing much else to say really, the tie was settled last night.
Thought we were well in the game up til 70 mins and we really should have scored. Yet again we concede on the counter attack 0-0 would have been a half decent result. I went last night and thought the barca fans were very quiet I suppose after a while the novelty of messi scoring and a barca win does wear off.
It would be interesting to see what Wenger does in the 2nd leg as we really have no chance, as we will concede and for us to score 3 times we will need about 100 chances. Arsenal should just play the reserves and cover all the cost of the fans who are travelling over there
Funnily enough Cech hadn't conceded a goal against Messi until he played for us and now Messi has scored 8 against us.
I can't be disappointed in the result as I expected it to be even worse. However, what is of concern was how many opportunities we managed to create only for them all to go unfinished. 180 minutes of cup tie play at home this week and 0 goals to show for it.
There has been a lot said about Ox's miss, but Jesus H, what the hell was going through Giroud's mind when with a clear opportunity at goal he lays the ball off to...nobody? I can't figure that out at all. He is the main striker, has an excellent opportunity against the best teamin the world and decides - literally to pass on that opportunity. What striker does that?
This has been yet another predictably disappointing season to this point and unless something changes dramatically and soon, like Giroud, we as a team are collectively passing up on the best chance of success we've had in over a decade.

That’s the problem with Giroud. When he’s in the box, ball to feet, he mostly looks to pass. I have no idea why he’d look to pass to Theo in that situation. It makes no sense to pass it there. He’s on his preferred left foot so you’d have thought he’d be looking up and towards goal for the shot or if he can play the ball across goal. Senseless.
