City are no pushovers and then we have 2 very winnable games. Chelsea don't look like slipping up so we can't afford to lose ground.
I do wonder sometimes if your memory gets wiped at the end of each season

Unequivocally this was same old Arsenal, once again diabolical defending and no proper marking and when teams just run at us we stand off. Reverting to tippy tappy sideways passing when the heat is on, lacking the mental strength to take our chances when they come.

Even my brother said oh well it was the referee's fault, he didn't take charge of the game. Have we not had years of experience that when we come up against teams that "rough us up" the match official is just going to ignore it. Every time are we going to just shrug our shoulders and say "what can you do?". That's your sterner stuff right there.

I repeat from last night, Wenger has squared off against Ronald Koeman Ten times before, Wenger has won once and Koeman five times.

Is that something you can just ignore, or do you think.......guys like this know how to play against us.
