I have my grievances with Emery but at least he's not a loser like Pochettino.

VAR is coming for them.

Ok I love Emery again. What a quote. **** the refs.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Holy ****! Just seen that - disgraceful!

 

[ArsenalFever]

Tottenham will be the more dissapointed with the result considering they were at home, but I’m sure they’ll take the draw under the circumstances.

 

[boyinneedofhumor]

Mate, wtf are you talking about?

If we tried to push forward and go for the second with the quality of our players you know what would've happened?

Clinical or incisive is the word.

Yes, I'm standing in line with you that we should not push forward recklessly.
No, I just think that we should score a 2nd while soaking it in. It just feels that the effort was there, a game plan or organisation was there, but the determination to want to win this no matter what, isn't.

Its a disappointing result.

But something we can all agree on:

So, @celestis, @American_Gooner, @yousif_arsenal

When will @say yes, @Axel_Gunner, @<<reed>>, @Sammy1887, @Fewtch finally get banned?

 

[Sanchez11]

Iwobi needs to add goals

 

[Big Poppa]

I'd like another centre half. Kos can't go on forever and we know what our injury history is like. Monreal will eventually need replacing as well - although I love him to bits. Agree with you on the RB

Yes. De Ligt will be a generational great defender. We must do everything in our power to get him.

What did you do to get banned?

All true. But at the end of the day Auba had a chance to finish off that game despite the really poor refereeing. And he fluffed it.

I can never understand two things about penalties.

1) Why doesn’t the team have 3 or 4 penalty takers that practice all week placing the ball in exactly the same place so that it becomes muscle memory.

2) Having watched hundreds of penalties, it’s pretty clear that those aimed at the top half of the goal are rarely saved. The keepers nearly always dive low and try to guess the correct side. So even if it goes down the middle, the odds of scoring are still quite high. Aiming low you have to hit it just inside the post.

I would put it purely down to confidence.

I never thought of it like this
That's a fair point

I completely agree with what you have said, but at the end of the day its not the referee's job to ensure good or poor performances are punished.

I think it's there in some players not in others. It's there in Sokratis, Monreal, Koscielny, Ramsey. Not there in Xhaka, Auba, Özil and some others.
You could see it in body language. The social media age might have a bit of an effect.

@rich 1990

I mean, that adds literally nothing to anything.

What did you do to get banned?

The poll

 

[ptrcopp]

"We were better than Arsenal"

This needs to change. So often we are undone by a mix of poor finishing and giving the opposition chances through mistakes

 

[ptrcopp]

I mean, that adds literally nothing to anything.

Or does it add everything to nothing?

Either way, its a poor performance from all involved

Shows how lucky Sp**s were tbf, they created nothing

Things like this happen when your a £50+ million player, but not starting games.
