    We can still finish above them, they have 3 very tough games still, but as you said, still very disappointing, coming second to Leicester is not nice.

    I agree - at least one of Monreal and Gabriel should have come off. Elneny should have stayed on instead of Ramsey as well

    We can keep repeating ourselves till we are blue in the face, but until Wenger makes the needed signings, which history shows he won't, it will be the same story every year, and will be the same next.

    We need a world class striker, and a world class CB.

    Obviously Wenger doesn't seem to think that and some people don't blame Wenger for making tactical mistakes. He should have brought on Mert but didn't. Bizarre.

    If City and United win this weekend you could be looking over your shoulder at 5th, and you have to play City yet.

    Haha, you always say the same bullshit when we drop points, please do **** off, we will finish top 4, it's you lot who need to be worried about getting 4th, not us.

    Not sure it was a fair result tbh...they had a good goal incorrectly ruled out for offside and I think it was very harsh to blow for a foul on the 2nd ruled out goal before Carroll got his 3rd.

    We have to play City yet, and we also have 4 home games from our next 6, so the City game won't even potentially matter by the time it's played, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

    If you'd have asked me at the 43rd minute that we'd end up drawing the game, no way in hell would I have taken that. After the 52nd minute, I would have bitten your hand off because after Carroll scored, we were on the backfoot for about 15 minutes and it only looked like a matter of time before West Ham increased their lead. I genuinely didn't see where we would score from. West Ham were more organised at the back and we looked like we were going to concede every moment they ran at our backline.

    I'm glad we didn't finish the game empty handed, but still pissed off that having been 2-0 up, we were even in a position to lose it because we shouldn't have been.

    There's still big question marks over Wenger's tactics and team selection, but that's nothing new.

    Any Title talk was fanciful at best, anyway. We are miles behind Leicester, it would have taken a huge capitulation for it to happen. Realistically, we need to be looking at overhauling Spurs in 2nd. That's the only target we have left.

    Title winners don't drop points from 2-0 up at this point in the season, though to be honest it was obvious right back from when we lost at home to Chelsea again

    Arsenal win their games, 3 page thread. Arsenal can't win, IQ goes off the ****ing rails and you can expect a 20 page marathon.

    Good game though guys.

    And with that, the title challenge dies.

    Arguably, Carroll should have been sent off twice. The dynamic of the game would have changed instantly had they gone down to 10 men and they perhaps should have.

    I haven't got off the **** rails at all, so quit lying. As I said, idiots like you have nothing original, so you just lie and say bullshit. Name me one post where I have gone off the rails.

    I said it was a fair result, and a good game, you're a ****ing idiot.

    Nah, just the truth, it's a big irony when a Liverpool fan wants to speak down at Arsenal, I mean when we talk about underachieving, your club takes the cake compared to us. How many years has it been now for you since you won the title? lol.

    You were out of the title race weeks ago, realistically only Spurs could catch Leicester at this point.

    Fair play to your team, a far cry from under Allerdyce. Deserved a point at the very least... ours, well the less said the better.
