well, Milan became a bit more organised but mostly it was Arsenal running out of steam I think. Ox and Walcott went off with niggles, not much on the bench so it just drifted past us


I'm happier with the way we played than I am gutted about not getting through tbh. We don't have the squad to progress much further AND get a spot in the league so all in all I'll take it


2 things tho - UEFA have charged Arsenal for fairly innocuous (and accurate) comments. And dear god that ref was lame beyond belief. He wasn't biased, just lame


But some of the "banter"ish comments on here about last night seem a bit petty compared to the events and drama in the game. Props to otta and others for recognising the positives

Sorry but its not good enough really. You can dress it up as you like but its the end if the road for another season.

And im sorry SJ but Milan may have been a different side had they not won the tie already. Great effort by Arsenal but I think it was attitude that won over. As soon as the gap was 1 goal it was shut up shop, next round please.

It would be a brave or foolish team who had a gameplan of "let's not bother unless to get within a goal, then..."


Arsenal's season has been another dud - 'tis true but that's not the same thing as building on what you have


Entirely possible (nay probable?) that we got beaten by a couple of goals last night. People didn't expect anything like those early goals (nor with any conviction)


In the context of the last month where we have come back twice against big teams, the difference this year is that we are finishing (touch wood) on an upward trend, compared to recent seasons where we promised much by Feb only to disintegrate completely.


Dress it up as YOU like, but the last 3 games against big teams has shown a different, more spirited Arsenal. And for a team which doesn't spend fortunes that's no small positive

It's an argument I have often enough with arsenal fans, never mind anyone else


Yes I'd rather we won trophies but on balance yeah I'm happy. Seasons are frustrating but interesting. And unlike most of the other big clubs, we are in a sound financial footing. Chelsea or man city could make rangers or Portsmouth look like a model of stability if their owners up and leave

I support the Irish team. The team in the black.

We are 4th in the league currently, and have played Champs League CONTINUOSLY for more seasons than City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham. We haven't spent gazillions like Livepool, United, City, Tottenham, and Chelsea and we show a healthy profit year. So yeah we're on a downward spiral. Could end up like Pompey, Rangers or Port Vale. FFS.


Messi is a joy to watch, he's totally off the scale.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
