Can't fault the display. However annoying it is to go out. Thought the ref was horrendous. Again. They spent the whole game diving around. And he lapped up everyone of them. Their second goal was straight from a foul on winks. Their first goal was NOT a corner. If I want the easiest job in the world. I am gonna train to be one of those fucking dicks at either end of the pitch. My god. Their is absolutely no point in them. Put them either side of the pitch so you can have 4 linesmen. But what is the actual point of them??? Anyway. We did and we didn't want to be in this game and frankly Alli cost us the tie. Props to the players who stayed on and gave it their all. Can't wait to o rub those Gooner mugs noses in it next week.

I know I had often said this but it really did look suspicious tonight, the ref was just extremely biased at the very least or completely incompetent, it was a shocking display.

We are just not as good as we think we are and sadly a continuous cycle of failing nearly this nearly that very very frustrating.

Perhaps.

Thing is, we've gone out again, to a very average side. Probably the worst side we've been knocked out by in recent years. We are better than Gent, no doubt. We have to be, surely?

He certainly didn't influence Alli or Dier though. Those two lost the tie tonight

We're an absolute joke of a football club. I just pray when the new stadium opens its like a new club and fresh start.
Every year we find new ways to fuck things up. Whenever it matters we blow it in the end. Until the whole DNA of the club changes we ain't ever gonna win anything other than the odd league cup.

Not a chance if Man Utd had our team would they not be getting to the Europa league final this year. We could probably have Messi and Ronaldo in their prime and find a way to end season with nothing. I don't blame the players or manger, it's been same shit for years and years and it'll carry on. Over 25 years we've become a failure of a club and it'll continue until we somehow find a way to change it.
I think that your overall summary of the club is harsh. I don't think that we are far off where I would expect us to be overall but I am really f*cked off with the result tonight. Not offence to our opposition but even they must be surprised how its turned out.

They are better than us. They beat us no?

Er... That's not quite how football works always is it? The best team can lose sometimes.

Are Valencia better than Real Madrid because they beat them yesterday?

Some of our fans need to think before they type...

I can't believe that some of our own fans can have watched that game and believe we deserved anything other than a win and to go through.

65% possession and 25 shots on goal to their 5. Those are the stats, and then you have what you saw. We could easily have scored 5 on another day.

I'm as pessimistic as anyone when we play badly but today wasn't one of those days.

Yes but unfortunately we didn't win.

We are the fucking football version of Mr Nice Guy. We can play nicely all we like but that won't get us anywhere.

Some harsh (although I know it's frustrating as fook) comments on here tonight. We paid for a shit first leg. I thought we showed a lot of fight tonight, even more when down to 10 men. We dominated possession, they got a stroke of luck in the first half. Dele had a massive brain fart. Then we got caught when we were chasing the 3rd. No we shouldn't be losing to them, yes our finishing let us down again. Can't knock them for fight though.
One thing is clear, we're going to suffer at Wembley next year. It's a cup final for away fans.

No, I do agree with you on that. To be fair though, Alli should have had a foul given in his favour right before the red and they should have never had a corner in the first place for their goal.

It's the small decisions that make the biggest differences and the refs know this.

In our new trophy cabinet can we put a league table up to show our top 4 seasons? Would have loved that trophy. All set for Utd to win it now. They do what they do, we fail as we do far too often.

We're all hilariously taking the piss out of United and looking at how far they've fallen, whilst finishing in the top four and actually achieving nothing, whilst they say "ok maybe we can't always finish in the top four - let's win a cup even when we're shit" and continue to fill their trophy cabinet.

Ours remains bare as fuckery. We'll soon lose our proud record of being the only team to win a cup every decade for the last 70 years to them too as they're the only other team who've done it and we don't look anywhere near winning anything yet.

I would have said the same blurting out all those stats. Who cares about stats.
