What a calamity.
Terrible first half performance. Deserved to win it from the second half though and ultimately fucked by the referee.
Exactly right.Quote:

We have fucked shit up royally!
FFS!
Dont agree. We were shit for the first 15 mins of second half and they could have scored twice quite easily.

We have managed to totally mess things up.
It's over lads.
I think it's highly unlikely that both Newcastle & the Scum are going to drop points.
We've bottled it so badly this team.
Were never gonna win at West Brom- forget it. We may come fourth if we are lucky
Couldnt agree more. . .Ramsey offered nothing today. . .Oxo did far more in the short space of timr he was onQuote:

No Sagna and Arteta = Exposed.
Much to be done...however who will come to us if we dont make the champions league.
And Wenger can fume as much as he wants but he choose the team today, he decided to keep Ramsey on the pitch....its his fucking fault.
If Ramsey starts at WBA I might have a Wenger out moment, tbh.
Missed Arteta and Walcott badly.
YOu think Newcastle will beat MAn City and then win at Everton - no way. I have a feeling the Spuds will win both games though
Poor performance, got better when Ramsey came off. Song cost us time and again with his carelessness and eventually cost us their third goal for the same reason. They should have had 1 pen, we should have had a pen for the handball - but the pen for RvP in the last minute. That's the biggest example of cheating this year. Corruption beyond all shadow of all doubt. That result was fixed, the final tables may well be fixed too as a result. That ref should never be allowed near a pitch again because plainly he influenced that result by cheating. The refs have been instructed not to give us pens, we've had so many denied but this latest example is beyond ridiculous.
Wenger has presided over potentially one of the worst collapses of his tenure. Which is saying something given how badly we've ballsed things up in the past. This season is going to be the disaster it always threatened to be.
I feel sick.
Any chance we can convince Pep to shelf his sabbatical plans?
The opposition went the entire season without committing a foul in our box at the Emirates.
Impressive.
Will that **** Mike RIley give us a apology for his **** of a refs perfromance? Doubt it
We wont buy many players. Wenger wont want to disturb the youth coming through lol. He will say `if there is anyone better out there we will go for him' Same old shit
Well there is always the summer to look forward to, Arsene will strip the team of his assets and sit on his hands in the market.
We were terrible in the first half.
The ref was truly atrocious all game. He denied them a pel in the first half, but other than that he gave Norwich everything. I'm expecting straight reds for passing to a team-mate next week and five clear goals denied just for a laugh.
Norwich were brilliant and outplayed us for a long period. When we were in the ascendancy, we had more than enough chances to win it and RVP fluffed loads again. As did Benayoun, Chamakh, Gibbs and Ramsey.
Szczesny had his worst game ever and Song, Ramsey and Vermaelen were just as bad.
Only Rosicky was switched on the entire game.
As a neutral, that would have been one of the most enjoyable games in years.
Fucked up, we have.
He was shit but to be fair they had two nailed-on pens also that were turned down

Overall the team just looked exhausted, which is the fault of injuries and Wenger not strengthening the squad enough.
Sigh, feels like we'd never have drawn that game if arteta was playing instead of ramsey.
Gotta say though, that was one of the most exciting games I've ever seen! Shame we couldn't nick it at the end. Cheers for that ref.
Well there was one when the guy had his shirt pulled blatently and i thought they had another one soon after but i may be wrong.
We can't blame the referee for failing to win today, it's our own incompetence that has cost us. Wenger may point to the RVP penalty decision at the end of the season and say that's cost us 3rd place, but it's the countless cockups against mediocre sides like Swansea, Blackburn, QPR, Wolves at home and now Norwich that will be to blame if we don't qualify for the Champions League. Focusing on the referee and complaining about corruption is just a smokescreen to distract attention from the fact that, after getting ourselves in pole position to finish 3rd, we've made an almighty screwup.
And this referee is known to be utterly shit, and in other games he has the tendency to try and "balance" things out when he makes mistakes in the first half in favour of one team. They should have had 2 penalties, we should have had two penalties. Let's focus on the team rather than the referee, because if we always try to blame the referee for all our failings, we'll never improve.
We obvioulsy had two but so did they (or at least one)

Ramsey should have been sent off and so should that **** who deliberately elbowed Kos. That was a hand picked ref to do get the desired result. Like Dowd in the Newcastle game. If I had to guess I;d say it was a betting syndicate, would be interesting to see the payout for a scoring draw.Quote:

And not to forget us missing easy 1 on 1 by RVP and Oxo in the end. Ref was equally bad for both teams. We shouldve done better in the last home game of the season against a side with nothing to play for. The players and manager should be ashamed.
Complete mystery as to why anyone would say something like this. When you deny as clear a pen as you'll ever see and in the last minute and as a result a win becomes a draw then how can you not blame the final result on the ref. Of course I guess we could have missed the 100% certain pen, but we never got the chance to test that. The ref had already set the scoreline. And that scoreline resulted in us failing to win.Quote:
