Let's not forget the officials got an offside wrong and our own penalty appeal wrong today. So the Hull one really just evened the penalties out.

Yeah plus the fact we were denied a perfectly legit goal plus they should have had a man sent off only for the ref to bottle it.

They should have had a pen...by that point we should have been up by a few goals playing against 10 men.

Standard of referring is herendous quite shocking

Really, I thought Burnley's was a stonewaller, it's a clear penalty.

Defiantly, every pundit said so even Arsenals biggest fan Henry.

Dortmund have signed Alexander Isak. 

seems like a great talent.

Yeah, upon seeing a replay from several angles it looks like you are right. Clear penalty.

I only caught a glimpse of it at the pub and I wasn't sure there was actually any contact. That view was no doubt reinforced by the fact that I was watching it with my Arsenal-supporting mate!

Finger crossed Wenger gets a ban for our game. Not sure how much it'll help but I'll take it.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association.

Wenger pushed fourth official Anthony Taylor after being sent off in Sunday's 2-1 Premier League win over Burnley.

He had been dismissed for reacting angrily to a 93rd-minute penalty given to Burnley when they trailed 1-0.

After the game, Wenger apologised and said he "regretted everything". The FA says he has until 18:00 GMT on Thursday to respond to the charge.

An FA statement read: "It is alleged that in or around the 92nd minute, Wenger used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official.

"It is further alleged that following his dismissal from the technical area, his behaviour in remaining in the tunnel area and making physical contact with the fourth official amounted to improper conduct."

Good nice to see the FA finally punishingly Wenger. Although I can bet he'll get off lightly.

Id rather he wasn't banned.

I wonder if Wenger would've apologized if Arsenal did not get the the win?

Of course he wouldn't have.

Good to see most of the chasing pack drop points this past weekend, especially with the Dippers and FC Woolwich games coming up.

Nine points ahead of our nearest title rivals is not too shabby, plus FC Woolwich eight points behind.

"Luckily" I missed our game this weekend. Just saw premier league review and saw that we had two shouts for penalty. One 50/50 with Shawcross and the other handball which imo was 100% penalty.

Yeah, we've scored offside goals, but we've no doubt been robbed of three times the amount of penalties. We've had one this season... how on earth is that possible?

So can anyone explain why United v Hull is Thursday? Is it because Hull played Sunday?

Yeah it's because Southampton and Hull both played on Sunday. They can't play on Tuesday so one game had to be moved to Thursday.

Ah that makes sense 

When managers get touchline bans, sometimes it works in the teams favour as the manager is more likely to prepare them better. In some ways, I would prefer wenger not to be banned for our game as when he focuses, he usually does quite well. 

Anyone been reading RAWK? Their fans seem incredibly confident that they're going to get the three points against us and it'll be a walk in the park. 

They beat as at the Bridge so I expect them to be confident...even over confident.

Liverpool will be a tough game for us, their high press will make it really difficult for our midfield just like Spuds did with us.

They have been in poor form of late so that goes in our favour but I'd be delighted with a point in that fixture.

The Liverpool fixture worries me more than any other we have coming up. I think their high press could make them prone to a counter attack though if we can work the ball around them. Would be tempted to go for a 352 in that game.

That's surprising considering they've somehow conspired to only get two points from their last three games, two of which were at home, and two of which were against sides in the bottom three.

I hope we pulverise them, we definitely owe them one. I'm still annoyed about that 107th minute Benteke equaliser from last season.

Hard to decide which game I would rather win more - Dippers or Gooners. Hate losing to either and we need revenge for the early season defeats.

Both can cause us problems but both can be a bit flaky so we just need to make sure we don;t let them dictate things and boss us. Be great to get 6 points out of 6 as that will deflate not only them but our other rivals. We would be better off points wise losing one and winning one but I would prefer to draw both so as not to give them any momentum, although that would mean Spurs, City & Utd close the gap.

sh*t, we just need top be at our very best for both of these matches and WIN BOTH. Come on Chelsea - make us proud!

 

Papy D is so sh*t that Sunderland have signed Joleon "it just went off in my pocket" Lescott.
