How does one go from horrible at Spurs, horrible at Dortmund, average at Pompey, to THIS at Milan?
The difference in this game is largely mentality...Arsenal haven't had but a few runs at defenders, and Walcott has done absolutely nothing. They've allowed Milan to play their back to goal type tactics very well.
haha Arsenals down 3-0. Looks like Chelsea is England's only hope.
Also, looking like a weak showing for Portugal at the CL, with potentially having no one in the Quarters. Can't say I'm mad though because I don't like Benfica

Actually i'm not that surprised. He has always been extremely talented (had some unreal games for Hertha at a very young age) but played bad for a couple of years because of focusing on everything but his job. Plus the italian mentality suits him pretty well.
Zenit-Benfica was a real fun match to watch despite the conditions, Zenit's goalkeeper was comical but he is their #2. To me, that was the only 50/50 tie of the Round of 16 and it delivered
Arsenal were absolutely destroyed by Milan, could have been 5 or 6-nil
Arsenal just proved to the entire world that they can't compete with the big clubs. What a shamefull performance by my Gunners and if the end result of that game doesn't pin-point our weaknesses (back line and midfield), I don't know what to say.
Wenger needs to get his head out of his ass and realise that we aren't going to win **** if we don't upgrade our defense and we'll have a hard time scoring goals if we don't have any legit playmakers. Robin VanPersie is our only hope offensively and if he doesn't score, we draw blanks.
How can we be selling all those studs players (Nasri and Fabregas) and not spend a dime for top notch talent to replace their departure? Is Mertesacker and Arteta the best we can do when the teams we are fighting with are going all out to upgrade their team?
