He just comes on for a brisk walk, probably.

Let's just move on from this game. Poor selection from Wenger, arteta and flamini in the middle with Ramsey out on the left didn't work before and hasn't worked today. As soon as we changed that it was a better look to the team, Ramsey back where he belongs ect.
The silver lining is that we're still top of the league, but we shouldn't have list today IMO.
Need Theo back asap now and we really need to buy in the Jan window cause a striker is needed.
It was a little concerning how many potential headed goals we let pass by the wayside.......
I thought that if Wenger had to play Flamini and Arteta, that he should have at least thought better of then also pushing Ramsey wide. He is our top scorer after all. It's coming naturally at the moment without the need for him to lick a toad or drink some special elixir to make him score. May as well make the most of it for now.
Mertesacker's absence could not have come at a worse time.
Manure were far from great and we were not much better if at all......
It was obviously annoying to watch but Jones was very good for them. I thought he read the play superbly if I am being honest. Rooney and RvP usually get far more clear cut chances between them and they probably had 1 each was testimony to our efforts defensively. Unfortunately the one goal off Chocolateleg Van Jazz Hands' shoulder was all they needed. I thought we should have made them pay in spite of who was there and who was not and that would have been a lovely message to send to them.
As long as they don't dwell on the defeat and let the results following spiral out of control, the fans won't stay hung up about this. As someone has already pointed out, a few of our rivals go up against each other in the next round of games. Instant, almost guaranteed pain relief. Especially from the City vs Spurs game.
We really need to make that fat ginger prick eat his words and his bendy elbowed mate by the end of the season..... Let's not leave it to chance neither. Get the Dud Viking out the club and buy a proper forward. I was sick of the sight of him before the CoCup exit never mind today. My heart almost dropped out of my anus when he came on. :doh:
Balls.
Balls, balls, balls.
Horrible performance in the 1st half. Better in the 2nd but just not good enough.
Utd really aren't that good, they were there for the taking today and we just didn't step up and give a performance.
Very disappointing. Could be a turning point in the season for us and Utd :(
Our plan B isn't pace, it isn't swift counter attacking movement, it isn't fouling or playing dirty. It is the yet to be exploited ability to score from set-pieces. We can't defend them but, frustratingly, we don't seem to want to score from them either (case in point today, just how many corners did we have and how many of them were nonsensically played short?)
It was à dire game. We could have capitalised on slip-ups by Chelsea, spurs and man city but didn't. Many have touched upon the frustrations of watching this Arsenal side. Could Man Utd have gone to Dortmund midweek and won? Never in a month of Sundays. Makes today's result all the more galling.
We must win our next home game and not give way to mental fragility. Ironically, after we'd been robbed of our unbeaten record at Old Twatford a few years back, our next fixture was à home game against Southampton. We stuttered to a draw, rescued only by a last minute equaliser from the c*nt.
A win's important because I honestly believe that if we keep winning the games we're expected to win, we'll win the league. (Until our next banker away loss at the Etihad in early December)
Mesut Özil...
Discuss.
shit performance. they looked tired, which given a week where we played liverpool home, dortmund away and then united. perhaps was just one big game too many in a week.
united weren't great, nor were we but the league won't be decided on these big four games. they will be decided on the others. look at city. thrashed united, lost to cardiff, villa and now sunderland. 2 points clear, get to xmas without losing and we'll win the league. still confident of that, but no more performances like today
