Hindsight - Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich have played 49 matches in all competitions so far this season, and they have lost only 3 games.  Only one team in those 49 matches managed to keep a clean sheet, and they did it in Munich no less.  I was furious at Arsenal when they lost 3-1 at home in the first leg of their Champions League clash, but in retrospect, I have to say "well done Gunners".  Winning 2-0 in Munich in the second leg fell short of what they needed to advance, but it is miles beyond what anyone else has been able to do to slow down the Germans.  When you go out on away goals (3-3 aggregate) to a team that dispatches Barcelona 7-0 and Juventus 4-0, you have done pretty well.  I hereby apologize for my harsh criticisms earlier.
