How can none the ref or officials not seen it?

Such a cop out. They saw it but bottled it.

On another day, that could've cost us the win and 3 points. And now's the time I can actually say that without others saying it's sour grapes or whatever. Standard of refereeing is utter shit.

So how many celebrities had hearts in their mouths when Ramsey had the goal gaping?

I thought we were superb again today. We out thought, out fought and comprehensively outplayed them. We're in a really strong position to finish top 4 now.If we beat Wolves & Wigan we'll be in great shape going into the Chelsea game.

For the first time in years I'm very confident going into the Chelsea game.

They didn’t.

A very proud gooner - and I would’ve been even if Kolorov’s free-kick went in at the end.The performance deserves more praise than the result 1-0 to the mighty Arsenal flatters Man City greatly.

Fantastic performances all over the pitch. Arteta is so obviously our best long-range striker because he tends to middle every one he goes for. He should try it more often.

Agree with that but also would like to add I thought Sagna was outstanding best right back in the PL me thinks.:oldboy:

He has been amazing since his comeback from injury. Arguably the most influential player behind the run of 7 wins in 8 or whatever it is.

Realistically, anything less than 6 points from Wolves and Wigan would be a huge disappointment, hopefully we get those in the bag, then one last big effort needed against Chelsea and I think top 4 is done and dusted.

Just a matter of seeing off Spurs who I think have some pub teams coming up.

I reckon 4 wins and a draw out of the remaining 6 (so that's 13 points out of 18) required to see off the spuds.

3 wins in the home games should be expected. It's a matter of not continuing to be useless away from home. Never confident away from home but hopefully we can edge out a win against Wolves on Wednesday.

Win the next two and we'll be five ahead of the Spuds. Not sure when they play Bolton away (rearranged due to the FA Cup).

I think Santos was the first one to try and WUM Balotelli. Second half sub. We could've seen the back of him a bit earlier with more of it. Must do better IMO.

Szczesny's kicking is disturbing at times.
