The great Graham Potter losing again 

Excellent. Cheaper to gerimin if he's sacked.

Seems the ref given in to the constant moaning of Arsenal

Not at all like Maddison against Newcastle!!

 

Maddison can be criticised for diving.

 

Arsenal should be criticised for diving, play acting, screaming, feigning injury confronting the ref, etc.

 

These two points of view can both be correct.

How does the follow through issue apply to the penalty? He won the ball cleanly, studs weren't showing, he didn't go in with force, absolute nonsense. Glad it was saved and they should be able to appeal the second yellow (another pathetic rule).

Where are all the 'why can't we be West ham' fans now?

On the Hammers forum setting up a Moyes in/out Poll.

Despite behaving like toddlers, Arsenal has made a strong Hammers teams look 2nd best all night. They might actually be the best of the rest this season unfortunately.

Wolves moving to 8th.

 

13 goals scored in 17 games.

Brighton were awful, Potter definitely not all that, Wolves solid Defensively.

[kingkisnorbo]

Are Arsenal actually any good or not? I can’t quite work it out. In my head, even though they are winning games etc, I still don’t think there all that?

[Vacamion]

 

Odegard, sitting on the bench as Arsenal's second went in and the goal was scored by his replacement, appeared to have a face like thunder.  

[coolhandfox]

Hard to believe if we can get a win tomorrow we will be 3 pts behind West ham

Despite their antics, I have been quite impressed with how they have dominated a strong West Ham side, which has been causing problems for both Liverpool and Chelsea. But they are a young team and will probably have quite a few games where things does not click and they'll look poor.

[StanSP]

I see Brighton lost again. Potter in anyone? 

 

They're in 13th.

Have only scored 14 goals all season. 

Not won in 12...

I agree. Pundits went on about how good they were against us but i didn't see it. We had a shocking first 20 minutes and they capitalised.

Tomiyasu can play both, he has more career appearances at CB then RB 

Fair enough. Didn't know that. Thought he was a natural RB with how he's played at Arsenal!

Wolves fan I work with can’t believe they are that high. He said if there was a team with Wolves defence and Leicester attack, they’d be top 4 easy

All our closet Leeds and West Ham fans have been pretty quiet lately... Shame that.

I don't have a problem with offsides as it's an objective decision. You're either off or you're not.

 

VAR never seem to change their minds on blatant errors like the one Taylor made today. It's ridiculous.

Lose against Man Utd on Saturday and Brighton will have gone 3 months without a win in any competition

Brighton had extraordinary dollops of luck in the first 7 or 8 games. 

 

They had half a season's worth - ie three goal swing - of luck against us alone

Presumably if they draw too?!!

[HybridFox]

Is this MOTD commentator an Arsenal fan by any chance? 

[Tielemans63]

I know this is waaaaay after the horse has bolted but I've just seen this on twitter and it made me laugh

Unsure if just players but reported Man U have 19 cases of COVID
