We all want to see the team win something but it's hard to know what to say after last night it seems we don't do semi-finals and semi-finals don't like us.I considered starting a 'why always us?' thread, but decided against it. Im sure all fans have their regular gripes or times they feel cheated, but it does seem like we constantly get the raw end of the deal.

Chelsea win the CL (and sign hazard) while we miss out, only for the rule to change the following year
Leicester... FFS
Fulop throwing 3 in his own net on the last day so arsenal finish above us
Rule change this season meaning we dont go through tonight, added to the ridiculous injuries and typical timing of the asian cup.
Bar tonight, which realistically was the 'trophy to decide who loses to city' game, those other moments have been huge moments in our history, which by and large have inexplicably gone against us.
I've said it before but even the scum in their fa cup winning seasons, bar city and chelsea, they didnt have a tough game from the 3rd round on, and played 90% of those games at home. Chelsea when they beat us in the semi 2 years ago. 3 from set pieces and a 1/1,000,000 matic goal. This team is incredible and I'll support them always (and let myself get far too emotionally involved) but to win something instead of just being proud of being the nearly men would be nice
Having said that I did wonder pre game that we might not had done enough from the 1st leg with none of the front 3 missing and yet only managed one goal lead to take into the 2nd leg plus we were fortunate as Chelsea were better on the night and hit the woodwork twice.
I do feel for poch and this team as it seems that although he is one of the best manager's we have ever had he might be destined to win fuck all and that is a tough pill to swallow plus it's always Chelsea we mainly lose these high pressure games to very sickening.
