Not a good performance but hey ho. Got a point and I drank far too much. The Mrs is gonna kill me.

Considering we've still got City and Pool, it's going to be a real struggle to hold on to top four; especially with performances like this one.

Have to be content with a point really, we. This team just looks confused and with no focus currently, you'd hope with the equaliser that we'd have the momentum and push for a winner - instead if anything we got worse, booting the ball long in random fashion, no build up play or trying to apply pressure, and just all round messy chaotic play.

Not good for my heart rate.

Two average teams on show, we have dropped to arsenals level when the summer was the time to aspire to the city level we have too many average players now, some serious investment needed

Glad we got the point, but this is still a worrying sequence. We've taken one point from nine in the last week when we should have taken at least four.

Got to, have to, get a result against Southampton next week. And then see what the problems are in the three week gap to Liverpool.

Are you serious?

Conspiracy nonsense.

We get gifted a penalty that we shouldn't have had and steal a goal, the opposition has a player sent off, but because they get a dodgy pen too we're the victims of a twisted conspiracy. Laughable.

That looked like it really fucking hurt mate.
Perhaps but he spends most of his time tumbling and faking and pretending to be a footballer. Poch has generally got the best out of him and made him look better than he actually is. I'm sorry that he's had an illness and hasn't been the same since but he's getting paid a lot of money to do certain things well and he can't do any of them or keep his head. I don't blame him for being crap in CM I'm talking about before that. Given his usual capacity, he's the last person Poch should be putting in CM.

Another pretty crap performance. All of our attacking players are struggling to find some form. Rose having to play midfield was basically the saddest thing I've seen. I would have taken Skipp in that situation as he at least wouldn't have tried to nutmeg/dribble the entire Arsenal side in his own half. Vertonghen is awesome at LB and I'm completely serious when I say he should start out there occasionally (giving time in between for rest/CB).

Honestly Pochettino's decisions for this game have been nothing short of fucking annoying.
Tactically it was a man against a boy today.

Poch's tactical immaturity is a real issue (I don't go on about it for kicks).

But it may also extend to his team.

He has to have an honest word with himself.

I know the squad isn't what he'd like it to be, but with what's on offer he's not making the right decisions to bring maximum effect.

This was a good result, though, overall.

We simple could not lose this.

Imagine the level of scumbag gloating, for starters.

It's been emotional but probably the right result. Loris and Vertonghen heroes for their dubious penalty. Harry Kane hero for our dubious penalty. The team's gone flat.

I’m sorry but what the fuck was the ref doing second half. Apart from two decisions that were so obvious he’d have been investigated the **** gave us nothing second half and arsenal everything. The high boot fouls at the end summed everything up. Fuck off

We weren't lucky to get a draw. We didn't create enough chances to win but they scored a break away and threatened very little either. 1-1 is about right

Do you know how soft we are at the moment?

Ozil played.


Ozil was not tough enough to play against Bournemouth, but played against us.

Fucking awful but Arsenal have probably done more damage to themselves than anything else in the end with the missed penalty and sending off, they’re ripe for the taking by United and Chelsea now.
