Match Reaction vs Man City (away).

He's at it with his immature behaviour again:

Jack Wilshere may have to accept ban for gesture - Arsene Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted Jack Wilshere may have to accept a ban for an apparent abusive hand gesture.

Television pictures appeared to show the Gunners midfielder, 21, raising a finger towards the crowd during the 6-3 defeat at Etihad Stadium.

The Football Association will await referee Martin Atkinson's official report before deciding whether to review the incident or not.

"If he did it and he is banned then we will have to accept it," Wenger said.

"I don't know if he did it."

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was suspended for one match, fined £20,000 and warned as to his future conduct after admitting an A charge of improper conduct in 2011.

Suarez, 26, raised the middle finger of his left hand as he walked off the pitch following a 1-0 defeat at Fulham.

Wilshere appeared to raise a finger towards the crowd on 68 minutes after disagreeing with a decision to award City a goal kick.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown, talking on BBC One's Final Score programme, said: "It's unfortunate that Jack Wilshere is involved in that sort of thing, and Wenger is right - it needs to be stamped on. We don't want that.

"We don't want Jack to go over the line. He is representing Arsenal and you have to remember who you are and what you are at all times."

He's a winner and was upset by the defeat (winners are bad losers), some of the others aren't hence the reason they probably weren't too upset.

Yes. Them going to the crowd to thank them for their support shows they weren't upset by the result. You've previously chastised Wenger (with some justification) for poor sportsmanship and never once defended him along the same lines as you're defending Ozil. You constantly move the goalposts and change your arguments to suit your anti-Wenger and anti-Arsenal agenda.

You really do love it when we fail and revel in every bit of negative news. Weird behaviour for a so-called fan.

It's not really your first thought when you've just lost 6-3 to be honest, you'd just want to get out of there.

What's that got to do with me liking us failing?

It was every other player's first thought and some of those players have won titles elsewhere so you can't accuse them of not being winners. Ozil himself has now acknowledged he should have gone over to the fans.

Ozil was at fault. I don't see the argument here. BFG is a thug.. u don't mess with a G

First time in a while I've seen BFG cost us a goal, he didn't do too well on Silva's goal. Verm should of dealt with the cross in the first place.

Kosc is out for a few weeks now .

Im glad weve established that Walcott is our only offensive player of an real consequence.

Now lets build a team around him.

I just hope the club management will step back from offering Wenger another deal just yet. Why not wait till the end of the year?. Another big match, another big fail. Are we going to condemn our club to another 3 years of the same thing. Permanent stasis. Fundamentally, nothing has changed with this man and this team. We are not the Spuds, we should not take humiliation in our stride. When was the last time that we, Arsenal, defeated any of the top teams in England by putting 4, 5 or 6 past them, we just cant do it. Yet we regularly take such pastings at least once each season. The man has reached his ceiling, did so about 10 years ago.

I just hope the Kos injury , just like the Gibbs one last year will make him search the market for another top defender. Vermaelen may have a Ramsey type renaissance, but I wouldn't like to bet on it.

We have put five past spurs a couple of times recently although you did say top team.

You seriously don't see any improvement from last year?
