Or is it a total lost cause. You just have the feeling we cannot possibly be this bad all of the time.
A creditable draw or an undeserved, oldskool style fudged win would give all a tremendous lift, no ?

Indeed a remarkably pragmatic way to look upon things.
There was a superb line in one of the media last week as we prepared to play City (the league match) as the journalist suggested we may have a foot in the game as we were more mentally used to playing on Thursdays.
I thought that was quite brilliant as straw clutching goes.
Turned out to be quite valid as well for about 12 minutes.
I am now so desperate to get the post Wenger era under way that I want us on the end of a total rout. When the old tit goes we will enter at least a decade of mediocrity so if he hangs on for another five years I might not live to see us ever win the Champions League
Indeed. He's playing for them in my FIFA game just now, as it happens

here he is displaying all the qualities of his future self. He should have been a defender, perfect for Arsenal tbf (20s)

Milan should be ashamed of themselves if they lose.
However...there is a chance that the slower build up play of a mid table SerieA side might revive some of our more brain dead types like Xhaka, Mustafi and Welbeck.
Would like to see us go 442 tonight with iwobi and Reece Nelson on the wings (Reece on the left so he can cut in and take shots) and with Welbeck and Nketiah up front.
No Ozil...Gatuso will have a plan for him and I suspect after the first few tackles go in he will down tools and disappear.
Sorry to break it to you H but Arsenal will never win the CL in your lifetime. If they couldn't win it with the teams Wenger put together in his first 10 odd years then they can forget it now.
Although it is a cup competition and as such can be fluked (every English team to win it has proved this) Not Arsenal though, they don't seem to fluke things like the others.
LA "On the plus side he's done **** all for Chelsea so far"
I am banking and possibly praying that his first meaningful contribution in a Chelsea shirt will be to score the winner against Spursy in the FA Cup Final
