Are you all at the game?

Incredible injury time action - better than the first 90mins ...

Wenger will be in a spot of bother for that assault on the 4th official.

What is wrong with him ?

Dull game, made worse by a dubious sending off. Thank god for the pens!

That lad you have playing in midfield. He is a liability. I remember watching him come on against us in the first game of the season. Someone has told him he's meant to be playing football?

Sanchez is a class player by the way. Looking forward to seeing him play at Anfield. His work rate, movement and sheer hunger for the game is hard not too like.

Doesn't have to be intent for it to be a foul.

I was and voice a bit croaky as a result....what a last ten minutes!

Having looked at the sending off and both penalties I think the ref was right on all three occasions (apart from Kozzer being offside but that isn't the Ref's fault)...plenty of players have got away with what Xhaka did in the past but he shouldn't have gone in like that. Arsenal weren't great and Giroud had a stinker...he just looked out of touch from the first minute. Ozil in the first half really stood out with the few quality moments all involving him. Xhaka and Ramsey seemed to be working well in midfield together....they are a good combination, Xhaka's great on the ball but shame his defensive game is so questionable at times. Still he won't be playing for the next four games.....

We're not playing anywhere near well enough to chase Chelsea with any conviction.

I knew before the game it wouldn't be easy, and we definitely made hard work of it.

We knew Xhaka would be sent off; I don't think the ref was going to but the lino swayed the decision. Should have been a yellow but Xhaka does need to stop with that stupid crab-scissor thing he does when he goes in. Still, not like him going off made much of a difference (we were playing with 10 anyway given Giroud's lack of presence).

Referee decided the game ultimately. Burnley will feel a bit hard done by; both pens (as well as the dismissal) were soft IMO.

Mustafi played his socks off.

Not sure if I would be starting with Iwobi.

Anytime you go in with both feet off the floor it should be a red, no ifs or buts, get the ball, miss the player - whatever. Straight red and no complaints.

This weekend there were a lot of big decision, lots of angry players and coaches shouting up in refs, lino's and fourth officials faces. I don't like to see it, I don't think it should be tolerated and I would love to see the FA hand out bigger touchline bans, and discipline more players.

Chelsea have two important games coming up, could be pivotal. Liverpool away next Tuesday, can Liverpool get themselves sorted out for this? Problem is Liverpool have a League cup semi and the FA cup 4th round to play before Tuesday.

Then it's Chelsea Arsenal on the 4th Feb. I hoping Liverpool do the business on the 31st, hopefully will rock Chelsea a bit ....... Chelsea have to have a bad spell at some point.

Apparently Roman Abramovich is adamant Diego Costa won't leave Chelsea, and wants to make a stand against the riches of the Far East. He feels that if Chelsea give in it will make every other Premier League club vulnerable to a Chinese approach.

Yeah, bloody trillionaires coming over and pinching our best players from our billionaires.

Losing to Spurs didn't seem to affect them much!

Chelsea can afford to come away from Anfield with a draw. I think Liverpool are rocking more than Chelsea are.
I expect the order of teams in positions 2-6 to chop and change quite a bit over the next 4-6 weeks.....
It's an awfully big gap to No.1 though now.

Seems like Wenger wasn't impressed

"He has to control his game, and not punish the team with his lack of control and his tackling.

"We don't encourage our midfielders to go down in tackles, we want them to stand up and not make these kind of fouls.

"So if it is a bad tackle then it is a red card."

That's as critical as Wenger will ever be in public. Granit's got four games to think about his "red mist" moment. One thing is for sure he's now a marked man. Worst record in Europe for red carss/sendings off in the alst two years apparently!

Was Wenger sent to the stands for protesting the Burnley pen? If so, why? It was a pen all day long.

Apparantly Wenger called the ref a "cheat".
