Back to second on the table but still trailing by 8 points. Those 5 draws so far are killing us.

Poor old Burnley got shafted. Wenger should be in a bit of strife.

Yep. Ten points gone begging. Usually a draw helps your rivals more than you. Especially a draw between two other contenders. They are like gold.

Ryan Mason in stable condition after a sickening clash.

That was like an AFL injury.

Two penalties in extra time is extraordinary stuff. Arsene must have been missing his puffy jacket. For a manager he spends a lot of time complaining about the refereeing. It's getting a bit unprofessional. He's the manager not the cheer leader. Apart from anything else the ref ain't gonna change his mind.

I can remember when Frank Arok was the Australian coach and he got ejected from the stadium in Tel Aviv during a World Cup qualifier. He ended up having to watch through a hole in the fence a bunch of derros had made so they could watch for free. Taking it in turns with said derros to peer through the hole and give instructions to the assistant manager standing at the back of the stadium. It was hilarious.

Two big games coming up for Chelsea, lose both and if we win both (one against Chelsea), then it gets interesting.

It could be about to get tight at the top. Those two teams slapped us first time around so we'll have to be at our best.

Win those and you will be hard to catch.

If we win both games it'll just about be game over.

I think we'll lose one though.

Yep. Should have a pen.

Costa unlucky to have a goal wrongly called offside.

Arsene will complain about it for you.

He'll be to busy with the couple of reds you copped.

Xhaka has a real nutty side to him and now he's going to miss 4 games.

Every good team has a psycho. Chelsea make them the captain. I'd give anything to have Tony Adams back. The fit youthful Tony Adams, not the alcoholic, middle aged Tony Adams obviously. Although we could do worse than asking him to fill in for four weeks while Xhaka isn't playing.

Re: Epl 2016/17

You forgot that Swansea still had to come to anfield .

I had that coming. But credits due, first loss in over a year it was bound to happen with a bottom side. I'm more sorry for Palace I copped an earful from cousins over it.

Re: Epl 2016/17

Fractured skull and bleeding on the brain, surprised Cahill kept playing.

Got the job done without being impressive. Huge couple of games coming up away to Pool and home to the Gooners.

When it happened I first thought Cahill would be worse off, then he ends up scoring later.

Yep shafted is one word. The linesman have been shocking this year, so many results affected and I can see something happening like the goal line.

I can't see you losing both. With us I thought by the end of Jan if we are 5 behind we will be a huge chance. I think we will get home hard but 10 is too much. If we had Mane and Matip back for you it would be a cracker but Mane won't be back Senegal are going well so...Klavan cost us the game and it was hard to take Matip on the pine. Two seasons in a row governing bodies have cost us now, last year in Europa final with Sakho and now Matip with Africa. At least Matip will have a game under his belt before Chelsea, but they have become so important already. We are so much better with them.
