Lady Arse….you are clearly an optimist of the true believer sort. I agree that Arsenal have the talent to come back and win it all BUT so far as I can see they don’t have the ruthlessness and hardness required to grind out 1-0 wins when they need them. Their strikers are profligate and uninspired. Their goalkeeping is inconsistent and tenuous, their midfield is superb but cannot carry the team in every game and when they don’t gel, and with an unimpressive back 4, their fate is sealed. For God’s sake Vermaelen, a central defender has 7 goals this season. That is more than Nasri,Bendtner, Eduardo and Walcott have, and I appreciate that they had been injured for most of the season! Knowing that,why hasn’t Wenger brought in another striker to bolster the team, shake up his inefficient attackers and improve morale.
If Arsenal don’t gain at least 4 of the next 6 points against Liverpool and Chelsea, it could presage the slippery slope to 4th place and another ignominious season.

We are better than that display.

We seemed to throw our defensive game to the wind early on in pursuit of an equaliser. Very naive. It’s no surprise that the 2nd and 3rg goals on the break followed.

I’m pessimistic about Chelsea now though. I thought, of the four fixtures, a result at the Bridge was unlikely.

We have it all to do.

i believe arsenal have a lot to play for this season. these young guns may not get the best against big English teams, but they have it in them to bounce back. they have the resilience. and it is through times like this that heroes are made. for sure arsenal will bounce back. keep faith all of you. Arsene Knows. and in Arsene We Trust.

@Ash Almunia has been woeful all season, it’s not a patch, it is total ineptitude.

To be fair, it was a pen on Rooney but he was on his way down before Almunia got near him…

I must be oblivious to the Anti Arsenal train, most people with brains consider them a team capable of beating anyone in this league or anywhere.

As good as Arshavin is, i wanted to kill him in the first half.

It annoys me when people say that Rooney dived against Arsenal in that August match. A foul was committed and its a penalty, simple. Rooney does does but that was not one of them.

I had Arsenal down for a win today, despite being a Man Yoo fan. Ive been bleating to anyone who will listen the last couple of weeks saying that Nani can beat a man with flair with a prefer to Valencia’s efficiency and the boy was stunning against the Gunners, at least in the first half.

Fairly even game, United finished very well, Arsenal’s was poor. Perhaps cementing the fact you need another striker.

Also think you’re being a bit harsh on your keeper. Just going through a rough patch but hes handy apart from that.
