KFS Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Absolutely disgusting like a pack of stoke fans.. Ramsey was lucky that twat didn't break his leg and then you have the nerve to call Ramsey a cheat... If it was one of your players you would be baying for blood... I never had anything bad to say about Leicester and thought you where a classy club... How wrong could I be What like nearly breaking Kante's neck with a "professional foul"? Jumped up, self-obsessed twat like the rest of your freak fans. You won't win the league and the country will maintain your lot as a laughing stock.

Matt Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Well done to those who have woke up and smelt the coffee re Arsenal...What's took you so long?
MakingEmileOfIt Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Decent performance considering we had ten men for almost a whole half. Limited Arsenal to very few chances and were unlucky to concede a last minute goal. As pretty much everybody has mentioned, Kante is an absolute machine. Wes was solid. Our two stand out performers for me. Maybe should have had another penalty but haven't seen the replay yet, that could have put us 2-0 up and it would have been game over. Ref was poor, another case of a referee wanting to be in the spotlight. Arsenal fans were so poor. Only heard the 'Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal' song after each of their goals but apart from that, nothing. Speaking to some Arsenal fans afterwards and they genuinely believed they're home support was one of the best around. Not only did they do a lap of honour, but their fans on the street afterwards were cringeworthy. Jumping around like they've won the league, even though they are still behind us and still behind Spurs. I really hope we finish above these. A nice break before the next game could help us out. This period of five or six games will define our season for me.
weller54 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Let the sad cvnts have their moment in the sun. Barcelona will embarrass them.. That'll be a joy to witness! They'll lose at old Trafford! And at Tottenham! ..Wenger will be whingeing as per normal! Blaming everything and everybody apart from his overrated, shite players!!! ..sit back and enjoy watching them implode lads!
Dickov22 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Dickov22 in blaming the whole thing on Wasyl- shocker Boring No not at all. If we'd stayed 11 v 11 I think we'd have won it so i blame Simpson more so. He'd committed so many fouls that despite his second yellow being harsh, he probably deserved to go overall. Wasyl was an idiot- he doesn't commit that foul and we get a brilliant point. There's just no denying it.
Dickov22 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 he's probs pretty happy he can finally say told you so to something he claimed would happen every week 2 years ago I was definitely wrong. He's never let us down when called upon in the last couple of years but yesterday he did. I'd have criticised any other player for making that foul yesterday too. It was so stupid.
NotTheMarketLeader Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 **** off. We won a penalty that wasn't even a penalty.Are you serious. Correct decision to award our penalty. Independent pundits said it was a definite penalty....aside from Alan Smith who clearly has an Arsenal bias. If that was given against us I would have no complaints. I don't think we were cheated out of it by the ref on balance, more that it was two daft decisions, one by Simpson and one by Was that made the difference. If you've just been booked you can't grab someone's arm, nor can you run 30 yards at someone full speed and slap them in the face. I was shocked at the intimidation the ref was put under, as well as the blatant diving. It was like watching a Mourihno side.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 i dont understand the time is out Such a childish thing to bring up. Firstly, added time is a MINIMUM period, the referee can extend it at his discretion. Secondly, Was fouled the guy within the first 4 minutes. But hey ho, I'm sure you're on the wind up anyway.
foxfanazer Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 My one little criticism of us is our inability to take the sting out of games. Kasper was superb yesterday but his long hoofs yesterday meant Arsenal were having wave after wave of attacks. I understand our style when we need a goal but when we are down to 10 with our backs to the wall we need to manage games. Still incredibly proud of what we're doing
foxes161 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Heart breaking defeat given it was a stupid foul that let to the setplay from Ozil. Sending off is what changed the game. Simpson foul was harsh but he was an idiot for doing what he did knowing he was on a yellow. I’m confident though with the games we have coming up we will go on another winning run. My concern is will teams near the bottom play differently and park the bus and cause us issues?

My concern is will teams near the bottom play differently and park the bus and cause us issues? Almost certainly but if we want to win the league its something we'll have to overcome. It happens to Arsenal, Man City etc. It will be interesting to see if we can unlock defences with quick intricate passing rather than fast counter attacks
CKB Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Couple of points.... Arsehole can FOAD Wenger can FOAD The ref can FOAD Simpson sending off was brought on by the Arsehole fans and the ref bottled it as he did with what I think was a clear pen on Mahrez, he gets clipped! it's a fvckin pen Wasyl that was stupid but I wouldn't say that to ya face We do need to manage games abit better, we can't just lump it forward when under the cosh as we just invite pressure once again. I've seen this happen before when we have 11 on the pitch aswell Overall I'm proud of my team, they aren't a bunch of fvckin fairies like Arsehole and until we went down to 10 we were in total control. They didn't even have a shot on target till they actually equalised! Wenger said they controlled the game? fvck did you, you deluded fool, you aswell as the fans didn't even turn up till the 54 minute! So to sum it up, it stays 11 v 11 we would've won that match, simple. If we can keep this performance up and not let that result get to us then we will go very close
foxes161 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Need to check the other top 3 fixtures as Arsenal have a tough one at old Trafford next Spurs are the scary threat now
Koke Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 I know Arsenal fans are behaving like they just won the bastard league, but in reality they beat 10 men Leicester but allow them cos they will be humbled at Old Trafford next game anyway. Everyone knows Arsenal fans are bipolar. Wenger in, Wenger out. The only Arsenal player I will give credit to is Giroud. The **** was a nightmare for us and his header assist for Walcott was world class.
BoyJones Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Took eight hours for this grey haired glory seeker's chest pains and incredible disappointment to go, but it's a lovely morning and I have just rechecked the table and we are still top of the league! Not going to mention any names, we win as a team, we lose as a team. The only thing I would say is that we could have closed out the game more professionally and that is something we need to work on. No real issues with the referee, except for one incident which according to the laws of the game was a yellow card for two different reasons. The push on Mahrez was undoubtedly 1) Unsporting conduct, a mandatory yellow and 2) violent conduct, again a mandatory yellow. Whilst I dont like seeing players sent off, he deserved to go and there is no doubt the referee bottled it. He chose to not implement the laws of the game which undoubtedly cost us. Decisions during the game which have to made in a split second, I can understand, but not incidents in full view when the game has stopped.
Leicesterpool Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 I'd strongly recommend not buying The Sun today (Arsenal Fanzine) it'll be all about Arsenal wonderful victory against Leicester as they'll say.
TiffToff88 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 I'm going to come across as a moaning bitter little bitch here, but before yesterdays game, i had been saying if we didn't win the league, i wouldn't begrudge Arsenal taking the title, but after their dirty tactics of rolling around and pressuring the ref to book our lads, i couldn't think of anything worse than them beating us to the Title. every chance they got they were in the ref's face. after that display of (or lack of) Sportsmanship, if its not Big Wes lifting the title in may, i'd rather see Harry Kane with a winners medal, and that says a hell of a lot about how much respect for Arsenal i lost yesterday!!
suffolk fox Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 They say cheats never prosper but after what I witnessed yesterday on another good day out is beyond reproach? To me it is or was blatantly obvious that someone or something got to the referee at half time yesterday. He went from refereeing the game sensibly to being a card raving junkie after halftime both the Arsenal players, set up, home crowd got to him. Annoyingly, his actions changed the course of the game. First half for all Arsenals huff and puff our goal was not threatened no shots on target in 45 minutes. Second half begins and Arsenal players and crowd start berating the referee at every decision. He starts producing cards everytime a Leicester player is involved in any tackle or anytime an Arsenal player falls to the floor. I still don't think Simpsons first foul on Sanches warranted a card at all I thought he stood his ground and got the ball. Win at any costs Arsenal players certainly attributed to that. Why wasn't Coquelin booked for blatantly pushing assaulting Mahrez when he was walking off the pitch after being subbed? That would have been another yellow and a red but Atkinson didn't want the home crowd on his back. We were denied a blatant second penalty too Mahrez was tripped in the box. It was inevitable eventually they would win and they did. Conspiracy theories but did Atkinson get a visit from a premier league official at halftime and be told stop little Leicester at any cost they can't win the premier league it will be an embarrassment to the money men of football?
Benji Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 I'll try to add a slightly different perspective now I've calmed down. I was sat in the home end overlooking the right back position in the second half. First half everything went to plan. We sat back and soaked a lot of early pressure and as the half went on we grew into the game and the crowd started to turn on the likes of Ozil for his slow use of the ball. I find it amazing that we are being criticised for being a dirty side for making tackles with 10 men in the second half fighting for our lives when in the 15 minutes around the penalty there were a couple of very dirty and intentional tackles going in from Arsenal. Everyone knows we are a counter attacking side and everytime we broke in the first half a defender dived in with no intention of winning the ball. The one on Kante was particularly unprofessional. I don't think they can have any complaints with the penalty, it's bad defending. Monreal (I think it was) stood up and stook a leg out; every Arsenal forward looks for a penalty there and how clinically was it taken? Loved Vardy's immediate reaction to tell Giroud where to go after his attempted mind games. And that's where it changed. 60,000 fans and Arsenal staff on to Atkinson like school children. I said to the Arsenal fan I was with at HT that the pressure would be too much and within 15 minutes he will give something controversial. Low and behold, the first Simpson yellow is very soft. No one around me even appealled. Atkinson having dug himself into a hole, the second challenge is probably a yellow and for all of Simpson's stupidity, Atkinson really needs to look at himself and his lack of common sense to stop and think "the first was harsh and the two together is not a red", especially when you think of some of the flying tackles in the first half. That said, our defending from then on was superb. It was backs to the wall for most of the second half and I couldn't be prouder. The result is a sickener, I think had we conceeded around 80 minutes we could have walked away saying "fine, it was 10 men against a very good side", but the nature of the winner is very tough to take. And how Atkinson can be so hot on our challenges in the second half and not book Coquelin for pushing Mahrez is beyond me. There were a lot of very nervous fans around me screaming for him to walk away, the man was an idiot and deserved a second yellow. Very lucky boy. I'd also hope that Was doesn't get too much stick. As I say, I was sat in front of his position and from the moment he came on Sanchez and Bellarin (I think) were constantly overlapping and he defended superbly. Some of his tackles and decision making against two players was fantastic (with little support) and at the end he's had a rush of blood to the head because he was so determined to win the ball. He's made a mistake, but you could see the guy had pure desire to win it for the team. I honestly don't blame him at all, he kept us in the game second half and the defending of the free kick was much worse; why try to hold an offside line with the last kick of a game when a man of Ozil's quality is taking a free kick and 10 men are running onto the ball? On the fans, you get a mixed bag. Plenty of level headed ones in the ground being complimentary of us but there are a lot of tourists holding half n half scarves, programmes and spending 90 minutes taking photos then coming out with comments like "Leicester are sh1te we should have won 3-0". The "who are ya" chants at the end were embarassing and I had to leave immediately (clapping the players from the stairs). Still, that just goes to show how far we've come when a snatched victory with the last kick of the game against the minnows from Leicester means so much. Let's move on, have a good week off then focus on Norwich. A good win against Norwich and we can forget about this result and say we've taken six good points from Liverpool, City and Arsenal. To pretend to be a little unbias, from an Arsenal perspective Walcott changed the game. Couldn't believe he didn't start regardless of how poor his form was. We are the perfect team for him to play against (and for... if you fancy it, Theo). Giroud also worked tirelessly and his flick for the first goal was quality. Ozil is just world class, the stick he gets from the crowd is laughable. How you can criticise a player like him during a game for being slightly off form when you know he can cross a ball like he did in injury time amazes me.
Koke Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 I've also calmed down this morning. The back to back away games we just had were hard. Give Arsenal back to back away games at Chelsea & Man City and they'd probably come away with 0 points, probably a thrashing along the way with it as well. If we beat Norwich and they lose to Man Utd this will be all forgotten.
Corky Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Arsenal still have a huge amount of work to do. They are more than capable of throwing away points they should be getting. I'm more convinced by Tottenham than them.
Wymsey Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Quite ironic that the two weakest players in the squad made things worse.
justfoxes Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 We're still 2 points clear still top of the league so Fook em all
