Match Reaction vs Crystal Palace (away).

[Letters]

And why are we pretending that red card was controversial?

Probably because of this angle which clearly shows Chamakh shoulder barging Arteta over and then falling over Arteta's feet as he falls.



And look where the ball goes, way out wide. He'd have had a lot to do to get there and centre the ball, there's no way to be certain that defenders wouldn't have been covering.

Anybody else slightly concerned with our recent dip .

I dunno, maybe it's fatigue, but or last couple of performances have worried me a bit.

Dont worry fella. They say it happens to lots of guys.

The more I watch that clip, the more angry I get. It was even showed during the match, and none of them seemed to point it out.

It's glaringly obvious that it wasn't a foul, and that if anything, we should have had the freekick.

It was either a foul by Chamakh or, at best, it was a 50-50 shoulder to shoulder challenge and then the clumsy oaf goes and falls over Arteta's feet as he's falling over. There's no sodding way that was even a foul by Arteta let alone a sending off. Must admit the first couple of times I saw it I thought "fair enough" but from that angle it's crystal clear.

Even if he slows down, we can move him towards the center. MUST KEEP! Besides I think he is the oldest squad player at Arsenal. We need experienced heads in the dressing room. I can see all top teams coming in for his services.

Perfectly summed up. Chamakh's ducking under the ball was pathetic when he should have punished us and Bendtner being behind someone even more hopeless than he was should have encouraged him to push on if he had any sense in his head.

On a side note, Southampton who are up in a few weeks have only conceded 3 goals! Lovren would have been a lovely signing, who I confess I used to sign as a matter of course on fifa 11 career/manager mode, but had never noticed seeing him play before he came to the prem.
