Meltdown of Arsenal fans on Talksport...
Is that a collective noun for AFC supporters?

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.
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.
“Upped their intensity “ you are having a laugh, they started running around a bit more and actually tried to win a couple of duels. But they were still passing it to no one, couldn’t control the football but because Arsenal were so passive they got a couple of chances and scored.

Calling for him to be sacked tells you everything you need to know about them.

Aye, they played ever so slightly less shit in the last 30 then they did for the 60 beforehand. They did just about the bare minimum that should be expected of a PL team, let alone one that's playing with a home advantage.

They play like that against us we'll absolutely rinse them, as would most teams in the league. They won't of course, it'll be there cup final, but still.

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??
 

You're comparing us to Wulfs? *shudder*

I don’t think the pitch helped, it looked pretty sticky.
We will find our pass and move football will be difficult.
