You'd think that everyone would have got over the fact that Arsenal are in the Europa League by now. But oh no.

Following their absence from Thursday's draw for the group stages of the Champions League - an absence which was made all the more apparent by the presence of Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and both Manchester clubs - the Gunners will take their place in Friday's draw for European football's second tier competition .

And that is still very, very funny for many people.

Excited, Arsene? (

Previously a staple in the Champions League under Arsene Wenger , the Gunners will now have to get used to Thursday night football as they get set to find out their opponents.

And the people of Twitter aren't being very kind.

Come on, give them a break!
