I don't blame them.

Me neither, but what do you expect? Ozil part of it, and he was born in Gelsenkirchen...

And I'm not giving any comment of the ref and not given penos, because it would clearly be against the charter of good bevaviour.

But, we would still win the head-to-head, thanks to the away goal rule

Brilliant result absolutely delighted that's now 6 points from 6 in our triple header of tough games next up United.

Two very evenly matched teams I must say both games could have gone either way.

If Napoli beat arsenal at home and Dortmund beat Napoli at home...arsenal could still go out on 12 points!!

Switching to RTE now for the laugh at the "experts".

giving out about the lewandowski pen claim, saying nothing about the assault on Kos.

Good.

Mert, Kos and Rosicky were tremendous for Arsenal tonight I thought.

that would be a dream come true for a spud like you - but it's not gonna happen.

Superb win by Arsenal. Their workrate in the last 15 was so admirable. Little things like cutting off backpasses forced Dortmund to give away sloppy possesion.

Arsneal are a different animal this year no doubt about it in my mind. Have they now mastered winning ugly- a classic trait of (dare I say the word) champions???

This could well be Arsenal's best week in many, many a while. CL qualiication well on, while they can become PL faves on sun IMO with a win at OT

I don't care about Arsenal or Spurs really(Newcastle fan), but your bitterness astounds me.

Gerry91

Special mention to Rosicky- his workrate was immense

Mertesacker was huge

It could easily tbf. Napoli won't be an easy task away, so if they lose that, and Dortmund beat Napoli at home and Marseille away, then Arsenal could be going out on 12 points

Gerry91

Tbh I think Arsenal will get at least a pt v Napoli

.jacksparrow.

Jesus rte are a joke, dortmund played about 15 mins of great football in the second half, arsenal played the better in the 1st leg.

That must be the head-to-head rule.

And should it happen, I think, it would put a big smile on my face

Hi Berba.

I actually am sick of Giles and dumphy at this stage.

Nicked it but we've surely beaten a good team now?

Na Arsenal have beaten nothing yet!

Bar of course Liverpool, Spurs, Napoli and now the European runners up away

Have a growing dislike for Lewandowski after these 2 ties, elbowed Kosc in the first game and spent the entire night falling over tonight.

quarryman

I'm starting to wonder if Ozil is a big game player...

efb

Go to Germany, win in Germany! BOOM!

I don't think so, but if I were an Arsenal fan I'd happily go out of Europe in group if it meant a huge lash at the title

Granted both is obviously better

Redknapp actually talking sense saying arsenal made them look ordinary and great defending.

The difference between a metal band and an orchestra: the metal band might play louder, but the crescendo of the orchestra will always have the greatest impact.

Very good result for Arsenal. Roll on United.

Sky are singing our praises , never mind RTE

maybe steer clear of analogies for a while :P

I'm just waiting to hear something like "Dortmund are always bottlers Bill", from Dunphy!

He's a rare beast - a non-bitter Spud.

The blatant attempt to win a peno/have Arteta sent off (who was lucky btw) left a bit of a sour taste alright.

Look ordinary? If he's talking after the goal. Fair enough. If he's talking before that, he's wrong.

At 6'6" he is alright!

They had a great 15 minute period but ultimately didn't score.

FearDark

Just had my mate say "shur ye haven't beaten anyone decent yet" ... Jesus.


At some point someone has to start giving us credit.
He's a Spurs supporter by the way.

Welcome to the club

Awful time wasting by Arsenal, imo

Unlike the game in London where Dortmund played to the very end. Oh wait...

Quote of the night for me from George Hamlliton was: "there is some wet rain falling now".

So the goal difference in the league between Dortmund arsenal and Napoli is,
Arsenal +2 after 3 games
Dortmund-1 after 3 games
Napoli-1 after 2 games

As long as arsenal don't lose by 2 in Napoli and beat marseille they should be through?

EuropeanSon

4/1 :D:D

Assuming Arsenal best Marseilles:
If Dortmund don't beat Napoli then Arsenal are through.
If Dortmund beat Napoli Napoli would have to beat Arsenal by at least 3 goals, more if Dortmund slap them.

Goal difference only comes into play after the results against each other are taken into account. If the top 3 finish on the same points then the results and goals against Marseille are taken out.

That's the worst case scenario though. Arsenal should be well capable of getting at least a point there, they struggled against Marseille tonight ffs.

If we can do the job against Marseille in the next game, I think we're through.

tayto lover

Will take me ages to settle down tonight.
Will be going over the whole game in my mind. Always do.
I'll be clearing balls in my sleep too.

Fecking Mert is great. That's all.

Yeah I know. This was assuming that they all finished on 12 points. That's only the results between the three teams.

Thanks button

Awesomeness

I forgot I threw a score on the 4/1. Fukin deadly!

The goal completely transformed the game We were being battered but then we really were able to take control as they began to panic. Heroic performance This is a very different Arsenal to what we've been used to over the last few years.

We also had 51% possession in the match according to the BBC.
