Back to the old days of Arsenal trying to walk within a metre in front of goal before shooting again, so frustrating to watch.
The most frustrating thing is when they actually manage it. I'd rather see them fail badly. Still haven't forgiven them for cheating.
Europa League trumps the cups fo me this season. And for Claude, I suspect. I'd take 10th in the League
They were interested in Klinsman as well apparently. Trying to raise their profile state-side? Huge (or Huws) gamble. Weren't Guidolin's last games against City x 2, Liverpool and Chelsea? They played well in most of those; seems a touch harsh.
No way handball. Very fortunate, agreed but he had no idea where the ball was and wouldn't have been able to get his hands out of the way even if he had known. I was screaming for offside myself. It took a lot of slow motion replays before it became clear that Ox never actually touched the ball. In the end, the correct decision albeit probably more by luck than judgment. More importantly what was that defender doing tearing away from the exact spot the ball was headed? "Shocking defending".

I disagree, I don't feel his hands were in a natural position, although that's probably down to Kocielny's lack of attacking balance and prowess. However without his helping hand, the ball would have gone over the bar. If we had scored that goal, I would expect it to be disallowed.
