Unbelievable- Saw the game until Arsenal were winning 2-0, Wolves were awful but at that point of the game Arsenal were only slightly better.

I would imagine the Arsenal manager was blaming the weather at the end of the game

I switched on at 10 minutes and Wolves were already a goal down, so I switched it off. I checked again at 70 minutes and it was 2-1 to Arsenal, so I thought Wolves could salvage something. Hilarious stoppage time goal to make it 2-2! I think Arsenal have blown it yet again. I can also think back to December 6th when Emi Buendia stunned Arsenal with that dramatic 95th winner at Villa Park! We've once again taken 3 crucial points off Arsenal! City will probably snatch the title again, which is equally annoying - the purchase of Semenyo and Guehi has really strengthened their challenge. 115 FFP charges decision anyone??

Yeah, anyone but Arsenal. Their support are utter vermin. Man City, no one cares.

If we’re not going to win the league then right now it’s a case of anyone but Arsenal. Which right now is those cheating bastards. Which is slightly less sickening than that prick Arteta and those insufferable clueless fans celebrating a title win

They need to get it together quickly. Their next but one game is Chelsea, and we really don't want Chelsea getting anything from that.

More worried by the fight Wolves have shown, which I'm sure will be amplified when we rock up at the custard bowl!

I think they showed the minimal effort necessary, even in the final 10 minutes when they finally decided to grow into the game a little. They where utter shite for 80 minutes and couldn't make a pass or tie together a single decent passage of play. I couldn't believe that Arsenal weren't capitalizing on it, genuinely stunned at times. Any other team would have been 3 or 4 clear before the first goal, given how sloppy Wolves played.

How’s that not a red for Jesus?

The violent two handed shove was in the chest, not face. It seems you can "flick" a finger into the face of someone and get sent off, but do the push into someones chest and you are fine. I was hoping that it might be looked at after the fact, but the ref "saw" it and showed a yellow so they will be fine, especially as the media will also ignore it as well.

Yes Wolves were atrocious, Arsenal just stood off and looked really tired.

Wolves were atrocious for the first half hour. Was like men against boys. Then Wolves upped the intensity and the Arses didn't like it up 'em.

For the last 60 minutes Arsenal were atrocious and were lucky to escape with a point.

Match Wolves intensity and we should beat them.

AFTV. Just delightful. At least he’s not blaming the swirling wind like another one of their morons.

I actually think he's one of the more tolerable ones. Lives and breathes the club, has since he was a kid and it shows. It's the plastic twats from everywhere else who've likely never even seen the ground that nark me off.

I can't stand much of these things but in his case I agree.

Is that a collective noun for AFC supporters?
