I know Arsenal were poor for 3 games before us and they did not play well on Sunday but I was so concentrating on us leading up to the match on Sunday that I forgot they had this match tonight.
You so often see a poor performance before a European tie, usual CL admittedly but this is Arsenals only chance of winning something.
I am taking nothing away from us, we played really well but we really did meet them at the right time, low on confidence, at home and this match was up next.
As tonight shows, they are a class side, AC Milan have been very difficult to beat lately.
Makes me feel even better about Sunday.
Still amazing how managers manage to sort it all out.
They will lose 3-2 now I've said all that.

We played them at absolutely the right time. We were under the cosh in the first five minutes and then boom - we get a few set pieces, nick a goal from one and they fell apart. Even then we were a little bit fortunate they were so blunt going forward. We got the result and we got to play against a top team in terrible form for the first time.
Arsenal will always be a dangerous opponent, tonight they're playing with no real fear or expectation and the difference tonight from sunday is that they scored when they were on top. That's at least as relevant as anything else in the game.

That and the fact that Ramsey is playing (who is very good) and Iwobi is not (who is not very good - at all).

Nothing on tonight's evidence to show that Albion wouldn't be able to cope in Europe.
Couple of comments on BBC report:
AC Milan should be grateful they are only playing Arsenal and not Brighton. Tony, Wimbledon
Peter Williams: If Arsenal can do this to Milan, imagine what Brighton could do.

On his last warning
If Arsenal win the Europa cup, doesn't that mean 8th position will qualify for Europe?
If so, bring it on!
It's AC Milan, not AC Palace
Weaker opposition tonight.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. That almost sounds like a pre-season Palace remark.
You mean it's Aresnal, not Palace? Palace didn't come back from 2 down, they threw it away from 2 up.

Arsenal beating AC Milan was much more likely than the media made out. The 2018 version of AC Milan is a poor imitation of their great sides from many years ago now. Serie A is very weak these days other than Juve, and Napoli this season. In a dire league, they're 7th. Arsenal will find it tougher later in the competition.

It might well do, but that's the nature of ambition and the general disposition of supporters. There's always something more to aim for - a new target.
We don't need to serve a long apprenticeship in the Premier League before thinking of Europe.
Fans can and probably should dream of it.
