Post Hoc Fallacy. This thing happened after the other thing therefore because of that thing

It’s like sneezing and a car alarm goes off half way down the street and saying the sneeze caused that

If we showed our professionalism in the previous game I'd have no case to present.

I've seen this so many times from us an yet I'm being told I am creating fallacies.

Your example is ridiculous and you know it. How many times have you heard about momentum in football.

Now how many times have you heard about sneezing in preparation for a game of this magnitude.

Why you don't want us to be leaving no stone unturned and leaving nothing to chance I cannot fathom.

You said we were pussies so clearly you don't think we've left everything out there, so why not?

Sneezing and car alarms I guess.

One word - Partey

His absence totally fucked the team

Ok, we generally weren't on our game but for me it was the big difference

It changed the balance of things and made Arteta tinker, which by now everyone should know that it's not an ability that comes natural to him at all.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Yeah. And he looked like a total bum sitting there. But one stupid decision at the end of the game - and that fucked up ref who tried to do us on the pens.

And now here comes that utter twat Raya. He better sort his act out.

That utter twat who made at least two big saves in the match?. Raya is probably the only one of them (with Lewis-Skelly as well) who comes out of this with any credibility

Actually Trossard did his best considering he’s not a striker

I was in your corner regarding the silly result this weekend and what it could mean for us in this game.

At the end of the day, this has been a fair result. One thing a lot of us have said about Arteta's system, it tries to be so intricate that all the cogs need to work to ensure it prevails.

Odegaard has been a passenger for ages.
Rice was forced to play deeper than he has when he's been terrific.
Merino couldn't lead the line and bring others into the game.

And today, not a single superstar performance from anyone to lift the team (though I felt MLS forrays into the midfield was a bit refreshing ).

TBH, I think we should be happy we got out of this only losing one nil.

We've just got to turn up in the next leg and hopefully we've got the team that has got us this far showing up.

MLS was great and totally owned his opponent. Yep, Odegard might as well have been playing for the other lot. So much broke down around him. And all those millions of touches, just to play it backwards or lose it. Rice seemed to be doing the work of two players back there, I thought Merino was supposed to be back there with him. Then again, we have been asking the guy to be a 9 and then suddenly say go back to the middle, in the CL semis! Could be he's a bit confused by now.

The refs are a big problem, no real way to overcome them. But stick Partey back in, get Rice back up there and then just go at them 100mp. Could actually be a blessing to be down in this one. Shame to lose to such an ordinary opponent. They were shite. But probably shite because they didn't need to play after 4 mins so tuirtled up. They'll likely be a lot better in Paris and I hope they are. Because their defence is shite and every time we hit them we hit them back twice.

That's his job! And it was hardly Pat Jennings! I'm talking about his comical distribution, the constant oressure he puts on the team with his fuckery, playing it right into the danger zone in front of goal, taking extra touches in the box, wandering all over the fucking shop. How many goals has he cost us this season?

Proper keeper required.

[Mac76]

Is there a full moon?

Because I agree with you

Well it was so glaring, took Rice from where he's become so dangerous / influential and for me Merino' s better at 9 than Leo who simply doesn't have the physical presence

[Niall_Quinn]

Shame to have lost at home to the fucking French though. Especially as we couldn't be bothered.

[Niall_Quinn]

I admire your optimism but we are out

We had to go there with a lead, we certainly couldn’t afford a deficit. It plays into their hands. To repeat myself We are out

You wish. But still another leg to go.

[Niall_Quinn]

He fancies Partey. Anyone's going to agree with you if you compliment their girlfriend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Even our tifo was half arsed.
