Obsessed With Looking for Eric
Anyone who belives that`s a penalty or even one that can be given doesn`t understand much football, I`m sorry to say.
The fact is it was not a penalty. If it was not a penalty it was not an excuse.
People looking for any excuse to diss Wenger even if it means denying the truth. It is not about how good or bad we were, it was simply not a penalty. Chambers hand was not in an unnatural position and his body was behind it.
They're not though.
The issue is his distance to when Gibbs hit the ball.
Watch the lead up and you'll see his arms flaying about.
I'm not arguing whether or not it was a penalty, I'm just saying he made it easy for the ref. Get your arms behind you.He did, but it was a reflexive protective move in anticipation of the cross. He's moving his arm in towards his body, and crucially, he's doing it before the cross left Gibbs foot. Never a penalty in a million years.
It's ****ing pathetic to hear , we dominated possession , we scored a goal , what more criteria of deserving is there ?
This is an absolutely awful team in every department. There's not one area of the game where this side excels at. You could play the West Ham, and Southampton games side by side along with this one and they'd look almost identical.Should have held on to the own goal that we managed to get late in the game against the bottom PL team. Says it all really, if we dont strengthen in Jan then Wenger is watching another team out there week in week out. The team I see is barely top 6 let alone top 4 level.
The funny thing is he apologizes after to wenger midgame!! He knows what he is doing!!!Disgusting officiating, can't see any repercussions forthcoming sadly.
Happy New YearI don't even care about the penalty tbf.
We were so poor that I'm not even pissed about Dean's decision.
So 1st half of the season:
- We're 5th. Tottenham has a game in hand.
- We have the worst defensive record of the top 6.
- We have the worst offensive record of the top 6.
But we only few points from 3rd placeI don't even care about the penalty tbf.

Complaining about wrong decisions is not an ‘excuse’ for the team performance. We scored the goal to win us the game & we should’ve had a clean sheet to go with it.
