Bet you he saw the first one and gave a decision on that not the next one.

We need a VAR check on the VAR check

yes looked at. Too close is the official line apparently.

and how is that not a foul on Lacazette?

Leno saves our bacon there.

Crikey. Leno keeping us in this, twice in as many minutes.

theyre making it up as they go along this season

Oh. Fffff......

Pépé.

Ffs Pépé

That was the chance

£72 million

Pépé!

I was going to say that but I thought I might be accused of being petty I've bottled it there haven't I..

Praying VAR don't overturn this......

I don’t know what to say anymore

and that is not a pen

they are feckin useless these officials

Bollocks

A red for that ?

Hit his shoulder.

It's depressing counting the passes Xhaka does backwards as opposed to forward.

Two points absolutely chucked away today.

Unfortunate for us

Ok ....

Not really. It was a rubbish decision.

Mind you so was the earlier handball one where we were robbed.

That makes the decision to not give a penalty even worse when he gives that one. Just utterly incompetent every single week. How has var looked at that and decided it isn’t handball. Even Peter Walton who agrees with every onfield decision said it was a pen - you know it’s stonewall if he’s saying that.

People will moan about missed chances and saying we should have finished the game and not rely on ref decisions but that’s nonsense. We had a clear penalty to win the game not given. It happens far too often that refs are deciding games and we’re on the rough end too often

We fail to learn our lesson again. Overly casual and the opposition scores.

Not yet - But you're probably right ...

so if youre a yard away from the attacker in the pen box, you can just have your arms out any way you like now

feckin disgraceful decision

First one was nonsense though.

4 mins to grab the extra 2 points ...

thats what i was referring to

Overall performance just not good enough today. Gifting them a goal obviously makes it difficult, but we just don't create enough over 90 minutes against an inferior side that's playing their third game in one week. Very frustrating.

I prefer robbed by the ref rather than chucked away. It’s an atrocious decision

trying to get over the non-award of the penalty and i suddenly remembered Pépé's miss. I need a lie down I think.

Aaaaahhh. So darned close.

It was a dreadful decision, but we gave away a comedy equaliser then Pépé missed one Harry Redknapp's missus would have stuck away. We only have ourselves to blame. And Aubameyang misses another one then we smash one against the post. Jesus.

and we can complain about all sorts, but when your record signing fluffs a relatively easy chance 2 yards out, and your 'midfield general' gifts the opposition a goal, then we got what we deserved

Thanks Arsenal you have ruined my weekend.

Xhaka lost us 2 points. Unfortunate

Yes, and he missed the sitters and made all the refereeing decisions. Totally his fault and I won't hear any different.

Precisely.

don't forget though that had the first handball pen been given, Pieters was already on a yellow so could have been sent off
