Back to the old days of Arsenal trying to walk within a metre in front of goal before shooting again, so frustrating to watch.

See, I really don't. But I want us to have enough distance in the table to rest people so we can go full guns in the cups. If we only have a small gap, and pressure mounts, we'll jib the cups so quick we'll have forgotten we were in them!

Europa League trumps the cups fo me this season. And for Claude, I suspect.

I'd take 10th in the League

Reactions: Munson owns Fosse
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.

So that's 2 dubious last minute goals arsenal get, us and now Burnley! Defo handball for me.

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.

There was that well executed overhead he scored against somebody recently.
