Burnley v Arsenal - Sunday 2 October - 16:30

And Go Compare has a new add that is somehow worse that all their others. It is impossible for things not to get better in the next 45 mins.

That FIFA17 advert is disgusting.

Like hell they did. It was our complacent manager who always turns up to these games assuming a win is in the bag.

How can the same ten outfield players be that bad following on from only a few days ago when they looked great? This is the whole problem with getting encouraged by this team. They can drop back to the negative shite at a moment's notice.

We're fortunate not to be losing this. What a miss by Burnley.

I bet Wenger's post match comments will say we lacked sharpness, pace or something along those lines.

They are not under instruction to play at a slow tempo. We have seen this some many times before. Against smaller sides, the team become complacent and the drive isn't the same.


The fault on the managers part part comes down to the mental preparation for the game and making sure they're go into the game focused.

Iwobi has always dropped into the centre.

Looks like we've been flattering to deceive again.

Damn good save.

FFS theo

Way too slow.

Very poor.
