That could have happened to us. At the time I was not gutted at all. OK the manner was a gut punch but only because of the potential it would have to drop player morale but knowing Mikel our players will be fired up next match
I'm so happy now we have just fa cup and league. Arteta demands a lot from our players so this is the perfect scenario we can have a week to prepare for every game and put 100% in. (it was clear tiredness was a major factor on Thursday) if we can't get up to 4th with this perfect scenario then we don't deserve CL football. Simple as.
I've wanted to not compete in europa last 3 years. Now we finally get a clear run without that insignificant competition. Even if we did win it we would be ridiculed once more, it has no prestige at all
Going out of Europa is best thing

The OP sounds like a Tottenham fan.
Turning up his nose at a Cup his club can't even win.

It's bollox OP. A club like Arsenal shouldnt go out against Olympiacos in the manner we did. Big squad as well to handle 2 games in the weeks. No excuse. It's embarrassing.

No it's not, we are not going to win the CL for a long while and I don't want to just qualify for the Europa cup so we missed out again on the best chance to win a European cup.

How has Arteta got on against the big sides he's already faced. Not too badly so far. A sucker punch loss against Chelsea in his early days (their goal scorer stays on after a definite second yellow) a draw with 10 men away to Chelsea and a battering of United at the Emirates. Its clear Arteta is something of a big game manager.
Actually if anything having to play all those teams gives us more chance as they are 6 pointers
