The Gunners found it difficult to fire a shot through the Villarreal defense on Thursday at Emirates Stadium.
The end result, a 0-0 draw, and a 1-2 aggregate defeat to Unai Emery’s squad.
As a Gooner, I am devastated, depressed, outraged and just plain sad. For the first time in 25 years, Arsenal will not compete in Europe next season.
The season is in shambles, the club is lost, the squad is a mess and the manager is in trouble.
I’ll have more tomorrow once I have a chance to mourn this loss and have a pint or two, or three.
The good news., there are only four matches left in this season.
No cheers today.

One of my all-time Arsenal players, Olivier Giroud, returns to Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. This time as a player for the competition, Lille. Giroud scored 105 goals in 253 appearances for the Gunners.
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard on Man City’s punishment. “In terms of how I feel, I potentially could be affected if you like, I wouldn’t want individual players to give stuff back, that wouldn’t be right. But the club, they have to be stripped.”
