For a moment i thought you meant me.
There is a problem between Ozil and Giroud, a personality clash that has developed since i last mentioned it. (Scroll back if you can be bothered, i was the only one that mentioned it, (without follow up comments.) Divisions in the dressing room made apparent by the line up tonight. Ozil has the Wenger ear and it is why Sanogo has appeared, almost out of nowhere.

That's two EPL teams out then

Starry Wisdom
yes because the half-time score is always a good indicator of the full-time result

Both legs are at home to teams that comfortable beat the EPL teams away.
The Giroud dropping was surely due to the turmoil around his personal life wasn't it?

What turmoil?

What with that, and Lloris signing a new contract, he's done a bang up job of making himself look a bit of a dick recently!

Arsenal 125-1 to win champions league
Well this thread has moved on a bit over the last 24 hours! A brilliant start for us and the crowd was buzzing but ultimately a disappointing night. Ozil's miss seemed to suck the buzz out of the place and why he wasn't taken off instead of Cazorla only Wenger knows. Szczesny sending off may be correct as the rules stand but it just felt unfair, he was going for the ball and the penalty should have been enough.
Second half was a load of rubbish for Arsenal and the atmosphere nose dived from there. Have to say that Kroos goal was a cracker though.
Finally their fans - yes they were loud and put on a display. But as I've said before I really do dislike these orchestrated fan celebrations. It feels like I'm watching a performance on "synchronized cheering".

You can't compare home fans and away fans. The correct comparator is better Arsenal's away support.
To which I say no, I would hate it if we conducted ourselves like that.

Frenchman? Footballer? Affair? I'm sorry, but I just cannot see it.
Another Frenchman caught with his pants down? Quelle surprise!

Anyhow, least night, best part if it? The Arsenal faithful, amazing atmosphere, loudest I've known the Grove.
Until Chesney was sent off (inevitable considering our record in Europe with red cards at this stage) we were their equals, how long we'd have been able keep up that intensity with eleven men is something we'll never know thanks to the ref and ARs Oscar performance. It probably was a penalty but sending off Chesney distroyed the game as a spectacle.
Whatever, this comp' is just a distraction as we don't have a cat in hells chance of winning it. We need to prioritise the FA Cup & League which is why I hope Sonogo was given his second start (who did very well) and not Poldi or Mr Lover Lover
Lastly, Ozil needs a rest.

Oscar performance? It's a two-footed tackle with both feet off the ground that hits Robben's standing leg. What the fuck would it take to get a red card in your world?
It's actually a one footed tackle and he barely touched him. Certainly not a red card, not really even a penalty.
No, just hungover.

With hindsight it was a very equal game for twenty minutes with Arsenal creating well. Yes the red card did end the game but it was a red card . Not sure Wenger has the tactical nous when down to ten men.

You can argue that the rules demanding a red in those situations are unfair, but that's neither here nor there. As the rules are today, that was a red all day long. Had it been an Arsenal player taken down like that and a red card not given you'd be baying for blood in here (not you 39th).

Robben should have been sent off for his dive, eh?

Is a great bunch of lads.....
I bet you'd sacrifice your lonely little brain cell to have had Liverpool finish 4th over the last few seasons...and this one as well

Two footed challenge?? ha ha you're delusional. Chesneys left leg is clearly not leading and he bends his right leg hitting AR neither of his boots studs where showing, yes he did leave the ground, that I admit, but is wasnt dangerous play.

Whilst ARs left leg is at head height, studs showing, that's dangerous play all fucking day long. Which would be a free kick anywhere else on the pitch (as mentioned previously by poster "mack")
