we didn't even expect to be in that position and it's ludicrous to label it as 'bottling'. that's just nuts. what was unacceptable was the performance in the first leg and throwing the whole tie away after 20 mins with absolutely no show of right or retaliation in front of our own fans. that was a low and left everyone feeling less than proud.

going out on away goals, rather than a pounding, getting an important win before travelling to swansea are two very important things right now. or, we can just sit here and cry all the way to may instead of hoping for some sort of miracle to happen. because seriously, without that, what have we got as supporters?

there is no shame in taking a bit of pride from a victory. that is still allowed y'know. it's become a rare thing but it still happens occasionally.
We will have to agree to disagree mate. Of course I'm glad we didn't get thumped, but I don't think we in any sense outplayed or outfought bayern. We've grown very comfortable with this 'Glorious Loser' / underdog tag (thanks to le boss) and I thought there was a palpable lack of nerve in the last five mins. When it was really up for grabs, we barely managed to get the ball in their box.

Lets see where we are in a couple of games, but I just don't see anything in that performance to get excited about. Sorry, I just don't get it. And as for what we've got as supporters? Well, all many of us have got is the hope that someone is going to come in and get rid of the dross and mediocrity that wenger has saddled us with. This result is only likely to prolong the agony.
