That's better, there are so many different words you can use without risk of infraction.

I think he was shot and been rushed to hospital so can't pick it up.
Shame he goes from the sublime to the redicules at times.

That was absolutely dire from Arsenal. It's just the same old rubbish time and time again. Weak and lazy in defence (particularly on the wings), no solid defensive minded midfielder (how many times has that been said?) and lacking in invention going forward with key players going missing in big matches. Can't wait to here the pro-Wenger defence after this, an utterly abject performance again.
Lost to Watford, scabbed a win over Burnley with a very dubious penalty, just about got a point at Bournemouth and now lost to Chelsea. Things not looking good for Arsenal right now.

Burnley nearly 3/1 at Watford.
Surely they've got to get an away win at some point & Watford aren't exactly world beaters.

So I invited personal insults by posting my opinion? Sorry that's not how it works here, or use to work anyway.

Ok mate I'm sure Fish is really really sorry about calling you a nasty name.
Any chance of letting it go now?

I agree that the championship is now beyond Arsenal but to put things into context, we beat Chelsea at home 3 nil and we lost against a very good team away 3-1. We are still in the mix for top 4 and have the FA cup and UCL to look forward to.
Only one team can win the PL and that looks to be Chelsea now although if the other challengers win today (particularly Spurs) then they might still have a squeak of a chance. Spurs especially because their run in is very favourable.

Forgotten about already.:thup:
Like they say on telly when a ref misses an offside or handball. You moan about the injustice of it all but at the end of the day the referees decision is final and they have a tough job to do. You just have to let it go and hope that you are just as lucky next time.
They haven't got eyes at the back of their heads and are only human after all.

Sean some of the things you say you are spot on and some are just said with your Arsene Wenger blinkers on but I admire your passion for all things Arsenal.
Hazard in the first half got caught on the hip and rolled around 3 times on that hurt hip and imo that's the worst side of feigning injury even though he was actually hurt lol.
And as you pointed out he stayed on his feet when he wanted too.
Some people need to take a serious look at themselves and go back over their posts because the double standards are astounding.
Every team has cheats and I was so surprised that it was not picked up in the Utd vs Hull game the other day because we Utd were looking for a penalty and I was embarrassed watching it.

You beat Chelsea 3-0 before they were settled into their current system. Now, with confidence in the system and players comfortable in new found positions they made Arsenal look very average. Arsenal are never going to win another league title with this squad or with Wenger in charge. He seems incapable of noticing where Arsenal are lacking. They've missed a midfield partnership the like of Vieira-Petit or even Kante-Matic for YEARS. Trying to beat big teams with Coquelin and Oxlade as your 2 most defensive midfielders is just setting yourself up for failure.
You're still in "the mix" for the Top 4, but if Liverpool and City win this weekend you're down to 5th, and if United win you're only 2 points ahead of them with United going one way, Arsenal going the other. Not looking good ATM.

Yes I agree the last 2 games have been very disappointing but we can't sit around feeling sorry for ourselves. Arsenal need to sort it out and get back to winning ways which I fully expect them to do.

The game today showed all the reasons why Arsenal won't win the Prem with the current manager and his signings and style
Prob the worst midfield of any of the top 4 challengers , talented players that go missing during big games , players that have potential for years now but never be able to show consistent performances.
Ozil was anonymous , Sanchez might as well not played - Iwobi , Coqulein just not good enough , Walcott just can't play at a consistent high level , no real threat from any one today.
Arsenal will more than likely get knocked out of the CL in a couple of weeks , then put on a little spurt with a run of wins when there is nothing left to play for and expect top 4 but this year that race is far too tight now. Arsenal in the summer could find themselves without Ozil and Sanchez and without CL football next year. And a lot of that is down to the manager

I think all of it is down to the manager, he's not handicapped in any way in going for top players and building, he's got money available but he chooses not to spend big as he has his own philosophy and he won't change it and that holds Arsenal back imo. It's also his job to ensure the players are motivated and fit and are up for the match, it's also his responsibility to change a formation or have a plan B when players or something isn't clearly working, I saw nothing of that today from Arsenal so it all lays at the feet of Wenger who should be offered an Extention to his contract 😜

Let's put things into true context. You beat us 3-0. We are now 12 points clear of you. You can't look at that and think everything is rosy at the all paid for emirates stadium.

Come on Everton. 3-0 up against Bournemouth already, Lukaku with 2 goals and an assist.
