hah well, i won’t whinge about the poor standard of refereing today because we should have scored a couple. that’s our challenge to deal with, conceding a goal is fine with our leaky defence as long as the strikers keep scoring and statistically - they won’t.

they had an off day today and with the dodgy decisions bam 3 points dropped.

will be back later in week for the Napoli game. am out on the town thursday so hoping to find a decent boozer and a comfy seat to watch the game.

If we had a decent striker we would have beat you 5-0 Arsenal were a shambles you give us acres at the back.

jags emptied his pockets when he got home Car Keys Club Pass and Lacazette

IF we had a decent defender you wouldnt have scored......

we need more than 1

Liverpool would have scored 10 if we'd been playing them like that !!

We couldn't have been much more 'Spursy' than that yesterday. With the top 4 and 3rd place in our hands we bottle it and fall at the first hurdle. Crap really.

Wasn’t that surprising a result when you look how abysmal our away form has been this year....still not a clean sheet away from home and Wolves, Leicester and Watford away to come.

On those 3 teams current form at home, I could easily see us coming away from those 3 games pointless.

Yup. Arsenal need to find a way to play with some energy and agression away from home pronto.

Bunch of snowflakes,not sure we won a single 50/50 in the first half. Ref and officials didn’t help,foul throw for their goal.
We don’t deserve top 4 on the strength of that so c’est la vie. What was the Ozil jacket throwing nonsense all about ? If it was a towel I’d have understood; he did that a few seasons back !

they went through the foul throw rules on MOTD last night. Turns out, it wasn't a foul.

Morning Gooners. It is time.

Not much team news, Yang still suffering with a virus and has been on anti-biotics.

Sokratis back from suspension. Xhaka and Kos 50/50 late fitness tests according to Emery.

[Cupramax]

Who knows which Arsenal will turn up tonight... home form hopefully gives us a bit of a cushion for next week. No idea what to expect of Napoli, Ancelotti teams tend to be solid rather than exciting so might be a cagey one.

[Carl_Manchester]

Yang starts.... good news for us.

By the looks of it it's just about the strongest team we could possibly have fielded. If we don't manage to comfortably beat them, we're all out of ideas.

Small part of me wishes I were a neutral tonight. Two tactical minds going head-to-head both with some measure of attacking quality at their disposal.

[BlackLabel]

Ramsey scores again.

[Carl_Manchester]

another four goals should do it

[leglessAlex]

Gosh, that was a slick move. Fast, flowing, one touch football.

Definitely need a few more though. Our ability to bottle it in the last couple of years seems to be almost up to the standard of our neighbours.

That small part of me I mentioned earlier has died.

We were expecting better from Carlo, but we’ll take the half time scoreline.

[Cupramax]

Bizarre how we can play so well after such a st show on Sunday. Wonder if we’ll live to regret those missed chances? Could have been put to bed well and truly.

[Glassman]

Missed sitters and should have killed the tie tonight. We rode our luck with them missing a two or three nailed on chances.

Whilst your ability to finish below them has exceeded that standard.
