From ArsenalMania: "We were by far the better team over 2 legs and we really deserved to go through."

Haha, deluded pricks.

He needs to go to his safe place and refer to his checklist. Like the one I cornered this morning...

Looking through their squad it really is a massive rebuild. I’d say they have 6 players that are top 4 quality that could get in our squad or a united or Liverpool. Aubameyang Lacazette Ramsey Wilshere and mkhytarian Ozil when they can be bothered. The rest is mid table and bang average.
Even then you could pick it apart.

Aubameyang = questions over his attitude. Why did Madrid never take the plunge when they were consistently linked?
Lacazette = It's been a difficult season for him. Is that because he has limitations or is down to Wenger's coaching?
Ramsey = He's a decent player but I'm not sure if I'd have him at Spurs. Perhaps that is simply down to Wenger.
Wilshere = Too fragile. He wouldn't be trusted or relied upon, the other clubs would have replaced him years ago.
Mkhitaryan = Seems to go missing far too often and Mourinho questioned his mentality many times. United fans say that he was very underwhelming and they expected much more. Has he already had his chance at that level?
Ozil = Such a a fairweather player. He obviously has the ability but his mentality is very poor. He's won a lot in his career but you could argue that that is down to the players that have been around him. German fans wanted more from him in the WC and Madrid were happy to let him go despite his assist record. I think he's had his best days.

Yeah, i was very surprised how he's turned out in English football. When we played Dortmund in 2016, he was probably the best player on the pitch for them - completely took us apart. Also nearly scored a worldie in the first leg.

I saw a great tweet the other day that nullified Arsenal fan's admiration of him. Along the lines of saying Lacazette has been poor for Arsenal as he gets no service from the midfielders, yet they bang on about Ozil being the best 10 in the world

20 odd years waiting for us to finally be better than them consistently. I dont even check how they're doing anymore. I'm a bit annoyed Wenger got pushed out as they may get someone in who will get them right back up there
