Ospina was poor all night. First time he has been thrown under the bus by the defence, he'll get used to it.

The Upson "challenge"
http://i.imgur.com/T4ry0kk.gifv
That CHEAT (he made it too obvious even for the head-in-the-sand brigade to deny) of a ref, Jones, didn't even brandish a yellow. It was a red all day long and it's a surprise there hasn't been a police investigation. And so Alexis is injured and now, while the media avoids mention of Upson, we'll be hearing all about how Arsenal can't hack it without the Chilean.
The three thugs Leicester deployed at centre back last night were beyond belief. They hacked, elbowed, barged, scythed, rugby tackled everything in sight. Good honest English defending and proof again that the foreign Arsenal pansies don't like to be beaten to a pulp. Pearson very successfully transferred the spirit of his touchline antics onto the pitch. It's all a joke, nothing meant by it.
Here's Giroud's booking, another vivid demonstration of Jones' cheating:

On both - you are fucking kidding me!
I know what the rules are on the Upson challenge - well I thought I did.
But can someone explain why it is a booking for Giroud?
:blink:
It can only have been for something he said, dissent maybe.
Or just blatent cheating by the ref <_<
Scrub that. The ref was brandishing the card before Giroud even got to him.
God/the people who paid the ref alone knows what that was supposed to be for.
seems like a 1-0 or 2-0 halftime scoreline is dangerous to us. What the hell does Wumger tell them during the break - I wish we knew, if he tells them to be careful & not so attack minded against the dross of Leicester who would be thinking about damage limitation I don't want the prick anywhere near this team anymore. Outplayed by Leicester at the Emirates, hanging on for a 2-1 win - he simply doesn't know what he is doing. Bouldy & the other coaches surely have to address the problems that Wengers age is now causing. Sanchez hasnt played well as the lone striker but always does well playing wide of one. Why did Wumger feel the need to try something that hasn't worked when he has Giroud & Welbeck fit. Then with things tight he takes off our main attacking threat in Theo to bring on Ramsey who is playing the worst football of his life right now - what does that do other than make us even more defensive, deep & under attack.
I cant understand why in this day and age, we cant appeal a silly yellow card like the one against Giroud. The FA are a joke!
There are lots of bad things about football, one of them has always been this ridiculous attitude (from the FA) that the referees cannot make mistakes.
So, an appeal can be made if the ref missed something, but if he saw it then you can't - because if the ref saw an incident then clearly he made the right decision.
It's completely mental.
I blame Wenger :sulk:
