They ate way too much yesterday :angry:

too lazy to play the match
The second goal was a result of a foul
And the third goal resulted from a corner that wasnt even a corner Kos didnt even touch the ball

What pisses me off is it's the same fixtures every year that we completely bottle. Saints away, stoke away, chelsea away...don't understand why we bother turning up when we're basically guaranteed 0/9 pts every single season.

Next season, we might as well send out the kids to give the starters a rest. That's if the starters aren't all injured by then.

No need. I think they've been plenty satisfied by the football tonight.

Very hard to say we aren't perennial bottlers when every chance we have to take the top spot we bottle it.

Didn't you say after the United game it was the perfect start to the day? Well so was the ending.

Tbf we're playing at the same level as we do every season, it's just that everyone around us is doing worse which makes it harder to take for us.

But really we shouldn't expect any more from Wenger than we ever get, regardless of what an opportunity the league presents us.

Man U and Chelsea fans trying to wind up Arsenal fans at this point is just awkward tbh.

Only Arsenal could play like we did again City and then put in a performance like that in the next game. Was no where near a title winning performance. At least there's only 2 days till the next game, we can bounce back straight away.

Is the word 'rekt' suitable in this situation?

So basically you've summed up why Wenger should have retired already.

End of the season it'll bite us in the back if we don't win the title and then we'll look back at these results in hindsight. We do it every year. I hate the term "it's one loss" because if it was 1 loss you'd storm the league. This is our 4th loss and we have 36/54 points.

If we draw the next game and City win, we're 3rd. I wouldn't put it against Bournemouth to get a result either because they've had some big results this season. Fact is we shouldn't be in this position in the first place. Arguably after Chelsea, we were favourites for the title at the start of the season and people expected City to implode (which I argued last season wouldn't happen).

It's complete under performance, I've used this word quite a bit and I'll continue to do so because it's summed us up so far.

Yeah I understand that - we all do it and you aren't the only one.
How do you think i've been feeling seeing us beat Chelsea/City/Leicester only to lose to Watford/Palace/Newcastle?

I look back at the year we bottled the league and think to myself "what if Toure didn't gift WBA the ball and lose us 2 points that day?" or "what if we could hold a 3 goal lead against Palace?".
Football is crazy and every so often you have a terrible, terrible day.
However when all is said and done, you picked up the same amount of points as Leicester today. If you don't let this get to you, you're fine.

All things considered, you're 2nd place and 2 points off the pace after 18 games, with a superior GD I might add. I'd take a 4-0 embarrassment to be where you are.
