Arsenal don't deserve this score line but what can you do.
Jorginho should have seen red. Cowardly ref. Wonder if Arteta will say something in his press con.

Spurs are the real rival for top 4 anyway, Chelsea will drop a lot of points yet. I am pleased that we are not going to have to listen to insufferable Pep Jr talk all week, this management lark is quite hard apparently Mikel.

Referee has gifted this to Arsenal. Jorginho shouldn’t have been on the pitch for the equaliser.

How many times do we see referees not giving a second yellow just because the player is already on a yellow? It appears that if you’ve already been booked, you’re afforded more leniency from our referees. It’s a farce and needs to stop.

This, along with not booking players because it’s only in the first 5-10 minutes of a game, is really a massive cop out.

A yellow is a yellow. End of story. Absolutely nothing else should matter. Cowardice at its finest.

Run out f steam. But if the ref did his job we wouldn’t have lost this one. I know it’s annoying when players tell ref what to do. But to make a point against a player and say no one tells me what to do is horrible

Arsenal will get a penalty. Ref will try to compensate. All they need is to provoke it with some dive in penalty box

When they put that stat up saying Arsenal have gone 10 years without losing at home in the league after being in front at HT, should have known they'd lose.

Arteta only needed 1 week to implement his idea But Ole needs a season and more players to implement his style.
Didn't know Arteta's idea was to set up team like Jose's. Take 1-0 lead and try to shut up the shop.

I'd be seething at the ref if I were an arsenal fan.

He's decided the match against them here.

What bollocks. Ole implemented 'his style' the first match we played under him. Just like Lampard did with Chelsea. Funnily enough, making it last is the key but let's not get facts in the way of a good old dig at your club and manager. Oh and 'Arteta's style' is going well for them. What is it, 1 point in 2 games?

Chelsea are miles better than Spurs. And so are United. United main rivals for 4th are Leicester and Wolves.

Arsenal were really good for about 30 minutes.

Then it was a dull even game for the next 50 minutes with Chelsea having all the ball but not looking a threat. And then Arsenal did an Arsenal and threw it away.

Christ you can see how bad Arsenal have been when they sit 7 points behind us, and we've been dogshit for a lot of this season.

Agree with everything. Additionally, so many yellows are missed when advantage is being played. So many shirt tugs and deliberate trips are left unpunished.
