Disappointed that the cameras chose to focus on him when that's so obviously what he was after, the attention-seeking twat.

My brother told me about this but I wasn't watching. Does anyone have a clip? Sounds great.

Two great crosses for the goals. It's not been a feature off our play this season. More hope than expectation. Hopefully we can create more goals from crosses into the box.

Although Arsenal were 1-0 up and in a degree of control, it's a score line you always feel you have a chance and we did well to limit too many clearcut opportunities. The second goal I thought was gonna kill us but to be fair, Arsenal took their foot off the pedal and we shifted up a few gears and rattled them. We were superb from that point on and could have scored more.

We held out well at the end and in no small part because Tyrone and Konsa is our best combo defensively, by a distance. Digne made us a bit more solid on the left. Maatsen is a good player, but I don't know if this was his type of game.

Ollie was excellent. Worked very hard. Kamara is quality. Youri was superb in the second half.

I also thought given the circumstances, Bogarde did extremely well.

The best part of all, despite the ref favouring Arsenal throughout the game, Arteta will add that disallowed goal to his big book of slights against Arsenal. He'll be bleating on about that one on his deathbed. In reality, absolutely no debates on that one. It was a clear handball.

Brilliant comeback, made all the sweeter by their late "winner" being disallowed. Wasn't on the cards at 2-0.

Quote from: Beeb
Arsenal have failed to win a Premier League home game in which they led by two or more goals for the first time since October 2019 (2-2 versus Crystal Palace), having won each of their last 46 before tonight.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa avoided defeat in a Premier League away game in which they trailed by two or more goals for the first time since November 2013 (2-2 vs West Bromwich Albion), ending a run of 52 straight defeats in that situation

Ollie what you talking about man???
 Thats blatent handball 🤦‍♂️
You beat me to it. Wtf is he on about?

Suspect he doesn’t know the interpretation of the law!

Not seen what he has stated, but he knows any touch by hand / arm is handball for the scorer has he has had a couple ruled out for it.
He said after being shown a replay "I'm not sure about that I think it's gone in our favour. I'd be disappointed if they took one off me for that" A crazy interpretation or maybe he's just sticking to the strikers union rules.

Great shift from the lads. Deserved point.

That handball was so blatant, Havertz should have been booked.

Massive credit to Cash, that cross for the equaliser was brilliant. If it had been Trent Alexander-Arnold it would be headline news on all the Sunday papers!!

The media story is that Arsenal were 'unlucky' - the reality is that we defended brilliantly and denied them further goals. We had our own chances in the game but - inevitably - Arse had the majority of the game.
I felt for Maatsen but taking him off made sense.
I thought Bogarde replaced Onana very adequately: I was impressed with his passing (he played the ball out to Digne for our first goal) and he kept a cool head. Someone on here said that his best position is as a DMF: could well be right.
Mings and Cash were excellent, despite Gary Neville saying Cash was being roasted by Trossard. Mings just offers us a brick wall in defence. Kudos.
Rogers and Ramsey were in and out, doing some good things but not being quite imposing enough. That coolness by Rogers in the first half when defending in our box was a thing of beauty.
Watkins is a massive asset for us; never to be underestimated. The finish from Cash's wonderful cross was brilliant.

If Merson was slagging off Merino's defending for the first then can only imagine what they will say about Partey for Watkins defending. Just goes AWOL.

There was a lot of really poor defending today, as seen in the 4 goals.
