Not being funny but Madrid beat us well over the two legs.
What advice could pep have passed on?
You don’t have to have won to have experience and know how on how another team works and what their qualities are.

Like an Arteta wet dream having 90 minutes to waste time, feign injuries and have his little tactical team talks to waste a few more minutes. That being said, if there's one team ill enjoy watching that against its fucking Madrid.No, toughest place to play when you're stuck in your half is City away (this season aside) so I reckon we'll be alright and can park a big London bus if needed. Arsenal are probably one of the last sides you'd want to be 3-0 down to as we'll just make the game stop-start.
Suspect they'll go on and win it now. They'll have momentum after something like that and from what i've seen of the others, i'm not convinced.
Its not really that bizarre when the format has been like this for 35 years.Bizarre how a team who hasn't won their own domestic league for 2 decades can even be contesting the "Champions" league.
Its funny how many are trying to belittle Phil Foden.And Foden has scored a cracker in Madrid. Your point?
How many times has everyone thought over the years that we'd go onto win the competition and failed to do so, All be it numerous times on away goals we have gone out but games the whole world thought we'd win.Suspect they'll go on and win it now.

Emotional reaction maybe. Rather irksome that they look so good in their first tournament in years when it took us forever to even get close.How many times has everyone thought over the years that we'd go onto win the competition and failed to do so, All be it numerous times on away goals we have gone out but games the whole world thought we'd win.
Knockout competitions are a **** to win as having an off night can see you go out.
He’s not as good at backtracking as you.Fair , wrongly assumed he had more - would add his assist count is higher also than at west ham - overall his got better at going forward and still back tracking, breaking up opposition play so often.
One thing with Arsenal is they love the dark arts divers galore won free kicks bag two free kicks that's how to beat Madrid!
As a club we are soft kunts on and of the field on the field we don't do dark arts we to honest of the pitch as a club we take all the bias in the media and make them a five course meal!
I agree and assume sporting integrity on the pitch is a top down edict which makes it ironic that we are maligned as cheats.One thing with Arsenal is they love the dark arts divers galore won free kicks bag two free kicks that's how to beat Madrid!

It's massive pressure, We were beaten by Chelsea in the final years ago and we were so nervous, Also team selection was wrong that didn't help.Emotional reaction maybe. Rather irksome that they look so good in their first tournament in years when it took us forever to even get close.
Pep: “Put Rice on free kicks all night”
We shall see, but trust me if you let them get on a roll they can turn you over in a 20 minute spell.No, toughest place to play when you're stuck in your half is City away (this season aside) so I reckon we'll be alright and can park a big London bus if needed.

We never had a 3 goal lead to protect against them tbf.Giddy Tarquin's should STFU and learn our lessons from the amounts of times we thought we'd beaten them.
Ok but i bet money on that of you fail again thisseason then there will be Arsenal fans calling for his head.Some Arsenal fans will.
I wont. Majority of Arsenal fans are level headed and not the headcases so many think we are. Arteta is the best fit for Arsenal and there is zero chance of a movement within the Arsenal fanbase calling for his removal.
And in all honesty Arsenal will be all over the shithouse tactics and i dont blame themWe never had a 3 goal lead to protect against them tbf.
They do still have a job to do next week but that's a hell of a result for them last night. I've ripped the gooners plenty for begging for respect without doing anything to earn it. That result deserves major kudos.
Takes some doing to outshithouse Madrid but I'd back Arsenal to give as good as they get for sure.And in all honesty Arsenal will be all over the shithouse tactics and i dont blame them
