7 minutes seems about right. I’ve always thought these officials do a good job timekeeping |

A friendly reminder to all competition that Arsenal have a soft underbelly. Good *%^@*** job. |

Does anyone get the impression we could be taking corners till next year and not score? |

Fulham got what they deserved anyway. No efforts on goal other than a complete gift penalty. 10 man defence at all times. And extremely lucky not to concede to Ceballos. They did not deserve to win. |

I've seen improvement in defense, improvement to attack when it became a problem and improvements in adaptability for each match. What is missing is the true will to win and urgency to do so every match. We should have won that at a *%^@*** walk and had to be satisfied with a lucky draw against a relegated club. I predicted the end of the season would be a slog against relegation opposition and yet million dollar salaries cannot do the same it seems. |

Arteta scorecard... 1. Ability to setup team and tactics -Good 2. Ability to adjust based on in game action - Averag 3. Ability to set a style that others have to worry Bout or how to break down walls of defense - poor That match could have been a message and turned into a lesson that Arsenal never even learn. Having stayed up and cut sleep on a Sunday night for the first time in ages I think I'll wait till next season before bothering again. |

Hi all Would anyone be able to shed some light on this ? ===================================== Dear Sir, I’m sure my dad played for Arsenal duringWW2. He didn’t talk about it too much He did say about some of the players like Bastin and the Compton Brothers . Can you check it out for me and let me know if you find out if he got any goals and if he played in any Cup games I’m just watching Arsenal v Fulham on my TV over here in NJ and that’s what made me think of my dad . Thank you for your time Margaret Jobson Worlock |

  I blame the Boss. he took out Chambers, Mari and Partey and the ball was hardly ever played to Saka nor were there any through balls into space for our forwards to run on to. It was a repeat of previous games where Gabriel has played and Partey hasn't.We know our best team now whychange it? Our next game is Friday wtf do they need to rest, if you have to rest one don't make wholesale changes it doesn't frigggin work.  why ffs, why?

As I’ve said repeatedly the only consistent thing about us is our inconsistency. A fine performance in Prague followed three days later by a display so underwhelming it resembled a sleeping tablet in non-pill form. Although some make out we have something to play for in the league because of our easier run in (on paper), I’m finding Premier League games a bit like something you have to get through even if you don’t enjoy it. Les Dawson and others might have said similar to visiting your mother-in-law (although I get on well with mine). The Europa League is way more important and thus interesting. I wonder if the players think the same? I don’t see how they can’t feel the same way. |

But it’s the logical conclusion to the situation whereby all the money in the game is concentrated between a small number of clubs. And the likes of Forest, Derby and Villa have next to no chance of competing at the top of the league. |

If such a thing is posible. FIFA has been a shitshow over the last few decade as the forthcoming winter world cup in Quatar(!) illustrates. But then perhaps the threat is coming form the big clubs and will play to their interest anyway. |

Not sure why anyone is shocked that we are involved, the attraction is obvious to a club struggling to get back to playing CL football. It's a no brainer for Kroenke. |

It is believed Perez will hold the chairman's role in the new league's structure, with Liverpool's John W. Henry, Joel Glazer of Manchester United and Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke as vice-chairmen. [Mail] Americans massively behind it to protect their shares |

The way var is being used for offsides is ridiculous. It should have been bought in to correct the clear errors. When you’re looking at such close calls today it really isn’t a matter of fact, it becomes a completely subjective and basically pot luck decision because when it’s that close you’re just relying on the subjective view of where the guy fancies drawing the lines, when the frame of the video is stopped and when the ball is deemed to have left the foot/head of the final pass. On the penalty, first of all that is not a penalty. I think if the ref doesn’t give it then var doesn’t give it - that in itself is fair enough because it’s only meant to overturn clear and obvious errors. So for their penalty I blame the onfield ref less than var IF var is going by the rules of only over turning clear and obvious errors. For my mind I’ve watched that penalty a number of times and the thing that sticks in my throat is we’ve seen tens of penalties far more clear than that not given to us this season. I still maintain we’ve barely had a single subjective or close var call go our way this season |

When there was a lot of optimistic posts on here about our run in and having designs on finishing 7th possibly, I liked the optimism but had very little faith we'd attain it. A word has come into more use with this club that I have been using as a reason we wouldn't go too much higher in the table: consistency. More accurately, lack of. What I really think? We'll finish 9th or 10th, we won't move too much from where we are and I hinted that the club(s) we really need to watch aren't the ones above us but the ones around us, specifically Villa and Leeds. Everton has a game in hand and are playing better than us and are 4 points ahead. With half a dozen games left, I fear too many things has to happen to catch them. The club we really need to worry about? Leeds. We'll have hard pressed to maintain 9th. We may come down to the final game or two to finish 9th possibly. I'm also growing increasingly doubtful we'd beat Man Utd in the final if both of us get there. In fact, I think we'd have a tough time with Roma. And assuming we'll get past Villareal is also a bit too optimistic. |

This image went round social media to show the limitations of Elneny. He passed this first time backwards. Look at where smith Rowe is. It’s also the fact Elneny has predetermined that he’s going to play it back before he even gets the pass.

The worse thing about VAR is that it has taken away the joy of scoring a goal. You can never celebrate until VAR has done it round of checks for offsides, fouls, handballs etc. I am not sure what the answer is because without it there are so many wrongly awarded goals but it all feels so utterly joyless. |
