Lovely passing goal to put Chelsea a goal up after 5 minutes (2-0 agg).

And Pedro somehow contrives to miss an easy chance but gets a silly own-goal off the rebound.

Well that’s Aaron Ramsey’s Arsenal career over.

Lacazette gives us the away goal with a lovely free kick.

Looked like a hammy to me. When he’s involved, that’s usually a month minimum.

Calling it now, Arsenal/Chelsea final and Oliver Giroud buries us.

Suddenly Slavia Prague have scored twice from 20 yards and it's 4-3 (5-3 agg).

Hmm.

Just continuing our recent trend of coming out for the second half with zero concentration or mental strength about us.

It's shocking how many games we just get worse and worse as the clock ticks on.

[stokeriño]

4-3 the final score. Well that was all much more of a hardship than it had any right to be... But we advance, in spite of ourselves.

How many years has in been since we've had as many as four English teams in the 'last eight' (i.e. 2x last four) of European competitions?

EDIT: After a bit of research I have come to the conclusion that it has never happened.

Great result to keep the clean sheet. Should expect to get past Valencia but either way, it's good we've gotten to (at least) the semis for a second year running.

Second away clean sheet in a row.

That didn't take long

Reply didn't take long either!

Stream cut out at 0-1, then I fixed it and it’s 2-1. 

What the fuck happened?

Cheers Jeff.

Chelsea have been so much the better team this second half that if this finishes 1-1 (or worse), I will actually be quite disappointed.

Not that 1-1 away is a bad result per se, but y'know.

Obviously as soon as I post the above, Frankfurt start looking a lot more dangerous.

The wait for some exciting European knockout football continues tomorrow. Can’t wait! 

Predictions?

Won’t be incredible, it’s expected.

Pls dont

It would be peak Arsenal to see their Prem contemporaries come back from a several goal deficit and think "How can we out do them?"
