The strange thing is that at Man City and Liverpool, we were within touching distance of getting something from those games but Arsenal have looked a completely different class home and away , yet the might not win the league!
They are so fuckin organised, press high and are just miles better than us!

Yeah, from Seaford, Peacehaven, Haywards Heath, Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, Portslade, Eastbourne etc. etc. (pause for comic effect) ...oh, you meant North London!"The Arsenal fans have travelled all this way..."

Mitoma, March, Ferguson, hinshelwood, gilmour, Webster, Milner, & Pedro only fit enough for 30 minutes. Yes massively.

We used to be one ourselves...until we sold our crown jewels and supplied Arsenal, Liverpool et al. #Business Model
Something has changed, and it seems to have done so when this speculation about him getting a better job reached its crescendo...
I expected us to lose, I even got it right in the NSC predictor for once. I also expected us to actually put up a fight and not roll over and lube up for them. That was as comfortable a game as they'll have all season.

Yes. Stood arms up to their fans and smashed the Arsenal badge twice before doing a small punch the air.
Don't be surprised, after the way he forced the move and refused to play it was obvious he wouldn't be like Muzza v Palace etc
A classless tw*t

Missing Mitoma, March, Ferguson, hinshelwood, gilmour, Webster, Milner, & Pedro only fit enough for 30 minutes. That doesn’t considerably weaken us?
All of that...plus when we lose the ball (as Gross did) where is the defensive cover? Van Hecke and Dunk higher up the pitch
. We play our high risk passing game as if we're never going to lose the ball ... but we don't have AliMac and Caicedo any more.

Mitoma and March might have made a difference, plus a fully fit Pedro, but that's about it.

Once Mitoma was injured all European hopes went with it.

Yep, 13 points from 6 games, 30 points from 25 after that. Not quite relegation form, but ...............

Having blown it last season, Arsenal are clearly holding their nerve much better. Miserly at the back, secure in midfield with the addition of Rice, and trickery and pace upfront with goals from plenty of sources.
Losing to them in this form isn't a disgrace.
Albion are limping literally and metaphorically towards the end of the season with injuries and managerial uncertainty.
It's been a momentously ground-breaking season with Europe, but also one that's proving a tough ask on the squad.
Still, plenty of learning from experiences like today for the likes of Moder, Baleba and Enciso.
In the long run, we'll be stronger for it.

Plus Ferguson and Hinshelwood at their best, and the confidence and momentum that we did have

Arsenal were good but just like against Brentford we were predictable and totally clueless in the last third. I don’t understand why Gross takes every set piece. Did he put in one decent ball from them all game? Variety is something we miss badly up front, very frustrating

Europe dream was over ages ago. To be honest I was more pleased that Wolves, Fulham and Bournemouth lost.
