It's not the end of the world to lose at Arsenal, but that's not the worrying thing, the worrying thing is that we don't really look like we're going to win many matches at all.

Really over the top reactions.

How do you expect people to react?

Seriously.

Again we look worse when we have an extra man. That fucking about with short passes in our own box was at the heart of Mings' assist for Chambers equaliser and really disappointing to concede from that free-kick where we let Arsenal bully our wall.
Naive stuff that doesn't bode well.

Well what more can I say, we all saw it coming except the team in the dugout.

Can’t really fault the players today, played well and plenty of effort. We are the new boys and we need to learn fast. Spurs away, West Ham at home and now this is where Smith really needs to look at his approach to match management.

If we'd got the win today, we would have had a points haul that you would have taken after this first 6 games. A win here and you would have given us a chance in 90% of our remaining games. But that's the difference isn't it, instead we've come away with fuck all again and you now look at the fixture list and think that there is absolutely no way we're going to get another 34+ points this season. Win 9 games and draw 7? No fucking chance.

A goal up, a man up and they had Monty Don at the back.
A game we should've won.

We spent all the second half against 10 men, the 10 men did us 3-1 in that half, what reaction are you expecting?

How about one where people breathe before posting shite.

The frustrating thing is in large spells of games this season we have looked quite decent and nowhere near out of our depth.  And then we fall apart.  As well as poor game management- it looks like a fitness issue to me.

I don’t think we are getting relegated though.  Mid table.

Everyone is garbage.
Smith out.
Mings and Engels gifted two goals so they can fuck off too.

Post play-off final we heard how the owners had a plan for the next season, who to release and targets to bring in etc. I am sure they will have a plan if we don’t wise up quickly for the manager. It’s too early but, if we don’t start picking up points then in next batch of matches....

To not act like everything and everyone connected with the team are shite and we are relegation fodder because we've lost an away game with 90% of the season left and with us being competitive in every single game we've been in so far. Better teams than us will lose at Arsenal and it's not the first time and won't be the last time that 10 men win a game at home. It's a bad result but all the negativity that flows from a defeat is magnified and does nothing but harm with the over the top nature of responses.

Fuck off Smith this, the defence is shit that. It's no good. Smith has done a good job, the team aren't a mess, the defence has been by  and large solid and if we all stick together there are much better days ahead. Let's not get carried away with the emotion of losing.

Everything went our way today. Our best players all played well, our 1 in 3 striker scored, good reffing and protection for grealish, Arsenal down to 10 men and losing their heads.

And we still fucked it up, mainly thanks to smith.

I don’t think we get to moan about the rub of the green after that.
