JenkinsonAMN? Sorry no. Can't have cats with lapses of concentration in such a game. Jenks for me.

That's correct. Neither penalty should have been awarded. Kane was clearly offside and I don't think there was enough on Aubameyang for his penalty. To make matters worse, Vertonghen was charging into the box as Aubameyang took his (horrible) spot kick. By FIFA regulations, that alone should have required a re-kick, but to make matters worse it also put Vertonghen in position to keep Aubameyang from scoring on the rebound.
Arsenal would have taken three points today if VAR was in effect. In a vacuum, a draw in this game isn't really a bad result, but the circumstances make it a highly disappointing one. On the positive side, the team continued to play very well and with great effort. There's a pretty favorable run of games to finish out the season once the United game is clear, so I'm still feeling pretty good about the team's chances of finishing 4th (or even 3rd).
Yes but they might not be playing for anything. There are often at least 2-3 teams that start sliding down the table.The problem is that the majority of our remaining games are away from home, to tricky sides like Wolves, Leicester and Everton to boot.
I really hope we can continue this run of form all the way through to the end of the season because we'll need to arrest our recent poor away form.
Pull it together, Ziggy. If we have anything about us, beating middle of the road riff raff like that for CL football is something we should be taking care of.The problem is that the majority of our remaining games are away from home, to tricky sides like Wolves, Leicester and Everton to boot.

Mcmanaman said man of the match was between Sokratis and Monreal, and gave it to Sokratis. About right.
@YeahBee I don’t think you ever watch any football, saying Monreal was useless.

That’s definitely not how they work. If it’s not a black and white decision like the wrong player being sent off or an incident that hasn’t been seen by the officials, they do everything in their power to deter appeals, because they care more about not undermining the authority of referees than they do about right or wrong.
VAR is truly their worst nightmare. It will show how incompetent their officials really are.

Wolves, Everton, Watford and Leicester away should be winnable. Mid table teams have a tendency to be in holiday mode at the end of the season.

Yeah that's true .
You know of any stats of this?
I don't believe you then.
No I'm not. A half decent game against Bournemouth reserves doesn't mean he should be starting games regularly. Again not sure how Jenks has developed such a reputation/cult hero status amongst fans despite doing absolutely nothing for two and half seasons, he plays like he has his shoe laces tied together.Jenkinson's limited but youré doing him a disservice there .
