    Oh well had to happen at some point. Don't think we played with the intensity we have over the last couple of months and the gooners were up for it more imo. Not bothered about the pen, they were leading anyway and if you don't score you don't deserve to win.

    It's a real sign of satisfaction in Ole and what he's doing, that now the game is over I'm not really bothered about the result :)

    You were below par today, but we were really at it defensively and quicker to the ball. As I mentioned, our fullbacks made the difference in this game, they were brilliant. Thought the pen was soft and I'd be furious if that was given against us, but we know you boys don't mind a dodgy pen being given ;)

    Anyway, with Spurs tanking we are now 1 point behind them. There's a chance that both Arsenal and Utd could overhaul them.

    Uniteds luck ran out tonight. They were probably worth a point on the balance of play.

    Good man Tel <ok>

    ****ing buzzing on that result. That was massive for us in terms of our top 4 chances. Good to see that you Utd boys haven't disappeared after this result, but it seems that the Spuds have done one instead <laugh>

    Thought we were really good defensively today. A total contrast from midweek. We got lucky with the soft pen, but Utd had their lucky one in midweek too.

    Yeh, you can tell from the first few minutes. Arsenal were at it and just controlled the game more. Wasn't perfect because we had our chances, but there was just something missing today. Well done, it was deserved mate (now where's the puke smilie)

    Yeah you played well, Leno had a good game & the key moments went for you. De Gea having a brain fart like that means it’s likely to be your day.

    We needed a big response after that **** show in midweek and we got it today. That's Utd, Spurs and Chelsea we've beaten at home, and we were a bit unlucky not to beat Liverpool too. You are the last of the 'big 6' we have to play this season now, so on paper our run in should see us pick up points.

    Spuds still have to play Liverpool and City and if they don't finish above us this season given all the ****e Kipper has been spouting, he might as well set fire to himself.

    A bit of After the Lord Mayor's show from the PSG game? Maybe should've started with McT and Perreira. Oh well nvm, I'm still quite happy overall about where we are under Ole.

    Not sure about that. They had plenty of good chances.

    About time De Gea had a mare against us. He's usually on his very best form when he plays us.

    Yeah and we defended them. That's what I'm saying.

    And Chelsea just look inconsistent atm. Our run in has a couple of tricky ties. Tbh maybe Ole's first full season without CL might be a blessing.

    Who else do you have to play ?

    This might need a run in thread. I'm sure the Spuds will be well on board for that .

    I agree that Matic was part of the problem.

    Back to his oil tanker, immobile best.

    Harsh on McTominay to be dropped. Thought Fred played the role well enough, we didn't need two.
