Got to ask has anyone seen how happy arsene was and pumping his fists at the full time whistle. Not saying this makes up for everything but it's nice to still see he cares and has so much passion for the game.

Arsene Wenger says tonight everyone can see how strong we are lol, not even in the top six of English football.

Can't understand how Ngolo Kante has won PFA Player Of The Year instead of Granit Xhaka.

It's a fix mate just because like the 742 mistakes by the officials that has so obviously robbed us of the title yet again this season.
What can we do :- (.

24 Apr 2017 09:00:02
I think a stewards enquiry is in order mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2017 09:59:58
I think kante should move clubs and try win a third prem in a row with a different club.

Let's not get above ourselves, we have a game mid week and a war on Sunday a.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Apr 2017 23:23:32
You'd have to be mad to get above yourself based on today Rick, today's was unbelievable but poses more questions than it answers, did the players play for themselves todayand a chance to play in the fa cup final, the manager or the fans?
Wednesday will go a long way to answering that and the Spurs game will say it all imo.
It certainly makes the Leicester and Spurs games look a lot more encouraging to watch that's for sure.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2017 00:00:39
Gunner it was an fa cup game and we have done well in them for a few years. The bread and butter weekly job we struggle. Today was typical arsenal, why?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2017 08:28:05
Let's see what the next two games bring Steve, the players once again have a? Hanging over them which is a giant step up from before yesterday when everyone had written them off as passionless over pamaped over paid under achievers who were not fit to wear the shirt.
Yesterday they actually earned the right for people to get behind them Wednesday night so let's see what they do with it against a rejuvenated hard working Leicester and then again in the NLD.
Of course yesterday doesn't make everything right but they did show much of what we've been demanding from them so they deserve the right to carry that into the next game imo obviously not ride on the back of it for the rest of the season as they have good results and performances in the past but that have actually earned the right to be backed Wednesday night.

Well well rode our luck but i thought our physical performance was 10 out of ten hats off to the lads and the fans.
Just a point i like to make to Huyton about being spoilt brats, i am not a spoilt brat mate i was just 7 mate when i first see the Arsenal, August 1964 and i seen some crap like you but i never come across a team that continually frusfrates you but you know that the talent is there but as always with the Arsenal we have to be staring down a barrel of a gun before we react and because its so frustrating we sound off but spoilt brats we are not.

Anyone consided Huyton might actually be someone having a joke with us?
Hes never posted before today!
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Huyton is definitely you Dags but even you have to admit it has to be a possibility mate Dags mate ? :-)

Very unexpected. Very happy.

Shout out to Monreal, looked easy but took it well.

Huge shout out to Rob Holding - just 2m - played fantastic, calm, composed and determined. Unlucky not to score

Great game and a great opportunity for the future - fantastic signing.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Apr 2017 19:38:27
The lad did very well but so did Calum Chambers in his first dozen games for us, so far so very good but let's not do a Jack on him just yet SY :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Apr 2017 19:46:35
I think the difference between Holding and Chambers is experience.

Holding had plenty of game time with Bolton. He was their stand out player, whereas Chambers was in and out of the Southampton team like Raver when he goes clubbing up London.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Apr 2017 20:25:18
Fair shout Dags i just don't think we should build the lad up to be more than he is before he's ready willing and able to be and then blame him if he isn't able to live up to our over estimations of to much to soon, Belerin comes to mind and Jack also to some degree, Holding is doing ok and if we let him come on at a decent pace instead declaring him Kos mk2 after a handful of appearance's​ he might stand a better chance of being all we hope long term.
Just my view.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Apr 2017 21:17:03
Totally agree G62,
Too much expectation on young shoulders is a burden.

All I hear is how people want to stop holding in the box. Fair play to him must be doing something right.

Enjoyed today. unexpected win like it was when I went over there in the late 197 0s and 198 0s. Arsenal fans are like spoilt brats expecting to win every game. Should have have followed them in early eighties, boy we were sxxt then. you posh prats should get behind our greatest ever manager rather than moaning all the time.

Befor the kick off I thought we'd be blown away by City by half time simply because i had absolutely no confidence the Arsenal players any longer had it in them to show up when the going got even slightly bumpy let alone tough but the longer the game went on the more surprised i became.
The last 10 minutes of extra time flew by simply because i never thought for a moment we were hanging on infact i thought we were far more likely to increase our less than lose it.
Either it's still Saturday night and I've dreamt today's game or it really did happen, either way it's wierd but a very good kind of wierd.

After half time I was very impressed with that performance. We were lucky at times, but there looked some much needed determination.

Yep

It where's that determination been?

Well done chaps.

23 Apr 2017 18:23:24
I'm in shock! That was like watching a George Graham Arsenal suddenly playing sexy football like Barcelona or the invincibles!
Now? what? why? I'm totally staggered by what i just watched from this bunch of individuals​ in Arsenal shirts! determination discipline effort committment resilience? It's all to much I'm going to have sit down and compose myself before i start thinking they might actually care after all.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Apr 2017 18:24:36
Yep - some great determination, effort, passion and actual shape except for the goal

Big big shout out to Gabs, Holding and Ox.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Apr 2017 17:41:30
Superb from the gooners today hope your smiling Steve before the doom and gloom come out and say we should do that every week can we just appreciate that Wenger made a change that has benefitted us tactically especially chamberlain and the effort from the players you couldn't fault. Happy Sunday gooner.

So Arsene reckons Ramsey has everything in his locker, shame he don't bring to the pitch especially as he gave the ball away leading to a counter and goal by Aguero.

Flat back 3 today but need to drop Gabby who played like a right back in the last game.
Holding, Koscielny, Monreal,

Then in middle : Granit & Rambo

The Ox on the right and Wellbeck on Left

CAM - Ozil

Forwards Alexis & Theo

Lots of work needed from the wife guys as well as pace - hence Ox and Wellbeck

Looking for Arsene to get sacked today SY? :-)
That team has 10 2 defeat written all over it mate even then it's only if city get bored of scoring.

2-2 tomorrow but think we will sneak it in ET.

To avoid any confusion, ET meaning extra time and not a fictitious alien on a bicycle created by Steven Spielberg.

Hope this clears things up.

Do you really think we will only let in two
I see us letting in two sbsolute minimum.

Steve,
Yep but wishful thinking mate.

23 Apr 2017 10:17:32
I will be pleased if we make it as difficult for them as Spurs did Chelsea, obviously i want to win but if that's not possible i just hope we don't completely fold again and get totally embarrassed.
It could be 3 2 either way or 5 1 City i just can't decide what to expect today.

23 Apr 2017 10:20:29
Dags, I was wondering what part of ET we will be sneaking it in.
