Lacazette is too slow and weak to make space for himself and only 8 goals all season says it all. The amount of time he takes to make a decision instead of just making it, his poor touch and poor runs make Giroud look better at times. Shite.

If he has that much of an issue with the scheduling then he should send back his share of the billion quid the TV companies paid to control it.
We've had the easiest fucking schedule of all. After a game versus the Mickeys it was six days off before playing a team in the bottom three, another three days and then another team in the bottom three.

Compare to that say Burnley who had the Spuds on 23rd, then ManUre on Boxing Day away, a trip to Huddersfield four days later and then Liverpool tomorrow. A team with a tenth of the resources we've got play three teams from the top five in little more than a week........do you hear Dyche blabbing on about their misfortune and the fucking schedule?

Listening to Wenger and the phone ins - that decison alone will be the reason we dont qualify for the Champions League.

And Wenger says we didn't win because West Brom had more rest than us. Utter fucking arsehole - never mentioned the 6 days we had between Liverpool and Palace. Despicable scumbag of a man
You just knew he would moan about the amount of rest even though we have a generous schedule this Christmas.

As for the penalty, generous but chambers moves his arm from his side to across his chest so makes it easier to give.

It was a very poor game so a draw was a fair result.

It was an awful penalty but it was always going to be scored...If Cech stood by the post (outside the goal) and stared at the taker he might put him off..only way the useless plank could stop one..

Exactly, we're over achieving and should be grateful, there is always the chance that in one of the next twenty or so seasons we can "do a Leicester", we've had 19 years of finishing in the top 4 until last season which is better than any other club in England.

Indeed, and when Liverpool do us a favour and beat our 6th place trophy rivals Burnley, we'll be 4 points above them with a game in hand and looking forward to more European glory nights from Macedonia to Malta, and Latvia to Luxembourg. Truly great days ahead

yes tend to agree, he looks a finisher when in and around goal, and he has good movement, but does not look like a £50 million striker....overall not good enough so far, and under silly bollox is unlikely to improve

Yes all focus will be on that decision, not the fact that we were shite all game....

Back to the game itself - just another in a long list of the utterly boring, paceless performances that are more the rule these days rather than the exception.

I can't remember a more sterile Arsenal team since 1995

I past caring about ref f*ck ups as an excuse about 10 years ago. We were sh*t and didn't deserve to win regardless, just more excuses for the old fart and his incompetence, he signed up for another 2 years and now as they say he made his bed and will have to lie in it!.
