Arsenal v Bayern Munich - Tuesday 19th February - 19:45 (Live on ITV)

Sadly, yes. We are the Ajax of current times, with less pretty football and a vastly superior bank balance.

Ajax were a much better team and won the CL...so we're not even that.

Ajax lite maybe, plus we don't produce anywhere near the amount of talent.

Ajax can pass.

[Kano]

We're in the last sixteen of European competition. I'm sure other teams are in a far funnier position than that.

what does being in the last sixteen mean when you know you won't go any further?

[Marc Overmars]

I wouldn't mind having a go at the Europa League really. At least we won't be so obviously outclassed.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dropping Giroud for no reason working out well again.

It's self-sabotage.

At least Walcott would have got a run at Alaba a few times on the right and the ball would have stuck with Giroud more than once.

Nah, theo in an aerial battle with big Germans is very smart. Good thinking there by Wenger.

[Munchies]

Eating Fish and Chips now, onto the 2nd half

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Arsenal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo falls on his arse. Although it was another lofted ball towards him anyway.

[Dennis Bendtner]

you're right but we had at least hoped for something to bite on - not bayern strolling about with their hands in their shorts. let's not forget, you go to a game with hope, no matter what logic may tell you and seeing this is always gonna shock you into a reaction like that. 20 minutes and it's all over.

Bayern are a better team with better players. Strolling about in their shorts was going to happen. The players are giving a lot but that's the fundamental. Of course I expect disappointment even in the most obvious of doom scenarios but where is the context.

[Master Splinter]

Giroud not on?

What's the point?

Might as well bring Gervinho and Arshavin on to keep the effectiveness level at zero.
