3 straight league losses. It got pretty ugly yesterday when Wenger subbed off Chamberlain who had been Arsenal's best attacking player and had just gotten an assist. There were lots of boos and even Van Persie was shown saying "NO" when it happened.
They're still within striking distance of 4th with Chelsea not playing so great either. But if they don't get in the top 4 I wouldn't be surprised for this to be Wenger's last season. The atmosphere has gotten pretty toxic. |

Yeah, Arsenal are in a tailspin, and it looks like Wenger is losing it. The big problem if you lot don't make the Champions League is that Van Persie will be out of there like a shot if you don't.
The result was great for my Magpies, though. We needed this result, to hold you in place and also help us with goal differential. After our disastrous meltdown, we needed all the help we could get

Back in the top 4! What a way to end it by Henry in his last appearance before heading back to NY. Honestly think Arsenal are a little lucky after not creating anything for the first 70 minutes.

What a win. After all the negativity leading up to the game, the players could have easily given up at 2-0. Instead they dominated the rest of the way.
EDIT: Video of RVP's goal http://arsenalist.com/video/?id=xp2clh Great strike.

Completely undeserved win today. Liverpool should have score 4 at least. But they even needed an Arsenal player to score their goal for them.
Chelsea lost again today too. Arsenal now 3 points ahead of them for 4th place and only 4 points back of Tottenham for 3rd.

What a goal by Arteta. Well deserved win, outplayed City the entire match.

Pretty much ended City's title hopes. Oh, and Bellotelli's a @$# thug. Should have been sent off early. Could have easily broken Song's leg. |

Didn't even get a free kick out of that. I'm sure the FA will be handing out some punishment though.  |

Norwich beat Spurs! A win on Wednesday against Wolves would put Arsenal up by 5 points with 5 games left. Have to take advantage of that.

Don't see how Wolves is even a threat to draw, unless Arsenal take a complete dump on the field. Man, what a turnaround this season for the Gunners.

Indeed. They looked absolutely finished 3 or 4 months ago.

True. I mean, I'd love to keep winning and have Arsenal melt down along with Spurs and Chelsea. The auto Champs League spot is better than the qualifying spot, and way better than the Eurpa League. Just don't see it happening.

I was wrong about the FA punishing Balotelli.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...oids-FA-action
Quote:
The governing body said a statement: "Retrospective action in relation to the incident involving Mario Balotelli of Manchester City and Alex Song of Arsenal, which occurred in the 20th minute of Sunday's game, will not be taken.
"Where at least one of the officials has seen the coming together of players retrospective action is not taken, regardless of whether they have seen the full extent of the challenge.
|
Ridiculous. If the official didn't see it clearly, the FA should take on the responsibility of punishing Balotelli. If the official did see it clearly, he should be suspended for incompetence. |

Yeah, Balotelli should have been hammered. I think I read that Mancini won't play him the rest of the season, though.
Well, although I doubt Newcastle have a chance of catching Arsenal up, we have to try. Maybe Wolves can hel--okay, I can't even finish that sentence lol
