You are not going to win the league, not with that coward negative football. Liverpool will do you too, they play to win.
Have you forgotten who you support? The absolute balls on you to be criticising another team for playing negative football
Hard to believe he's only 17 years old and he looks so confident and comfortable in pressure situations. He was great against bolton and came on today and had a better impact than Sterling. Really really exciting player that's such a good dribbler in tight space.

Do Arsenal play negative football most of the time (as in, when not playing away at the winner of four of the last five titles with 10 men)?
If anyone was lucky not to be sent off it was Skipp. One of his 3 bookable offences could have been a straight red card.
76 touches in Leicester's box. 36 shots, 16 of those on target. 75% possession.
Ndidi also kicked the ball away on a free kick when he was on a yellow. Normally wouldn’t care but with it being called against Arsenal in consecutive games, then it needs to be called on Leicester
Yes, it was one of those games that almost cost us points, because it was not quite working out. Bit of sloppiness coming out in the second half. I find we are often a little weak during that period.
Your entire foundation was built on a promotion you "earned" while not finishing in the promotion places.
Yes: the 45-60 period frequently hurts us. If there is a lingering legacy of Wenger's worst, it lies in being too slow to adapt to the game when we need to.
Has he?
They have scored the second-most goals for two seasons in a row and created the most big chances this season, despite playing away against Spurs, Villa, and City.
The poor performances being playing against Spurs (and winning 3 times away in a row first time in 50 years which even Wengers team couldnt do aaginst dire Spurs sides) while missing our entire midifled and without them actually doing anything with the ball then playing 10 men against the most dominant team in Europe for 45 mins, defending.
@TheBigLewandowski Arteta used CBs as full backs before Pep did (happy to be corrected on this). We also conceded the least amount of goals last year and scored the most depite not having a what you call out and out striker. So not sure how the 4 CBs thing will catch us out regarding creating chances. Yesterday as well it was Timber who made our first goal.
It could have been ruled out, it would have been extremely soft but no qualms against it had it been, as far as I know VAR said it was a 'different phase of play' hence didn't rule it out (from what I remember listening to the commentators). I also remember a Leicester playing not getting a red for 3 straight bookable offences. There is no real consistency in refereeing decisions.
Reading the rest of your post, there's no "may" about it.
Arsenal quite clearly havent just copied City though? Im not sure many clubs try and replicate Peo’s football at all, because it requires huge financial outlay which is unrealistic. Most coaches copy the Hennes guys, not Cruyff, LVG, Pep etc. in my opinion these days.
Califiori was fortunate with the potential second yellow, but caution he picked up wasn’t even a foul. The Leicester play ran alongside him and fell into him, so he shouldn’t have been on a yellow in the first place.
Can't imagine rival fans watching it for a laugh nowadays ( because Arsenal are actually good).
It's more that now it's boring with most, if not all, the classic characters gone.
Agree, you cannot quite play Pep football without the large scale investment behind it. You dont want decent players, you need great ones, and depth.
Because Newcastle beat us last year using the same "cowardly, negative football" we used at City. I don't remember hearing any of their fans criticising that style of play then so it's a bit rich to be doing it now.
