Maybe not!

Although I think there was a handball so that should be looked at by Var. Stupid by Gabriel that tackle

ctrl-alt-delete · 16-04-2023 01:32PM

I'd call that a dive, theatrical before the contact.

Penalty given though.

kowloonkev · 16-04-2023 01:32PM

That's a clear dive when he knew he miscontrolled it.

ShamoBuc · 16-04-2023 01:34PM

Lifeline from the spot for West Ham 1-2

mobydopy · 16-04-2023 01:35PM

West Ham need to make it to half time now

Fitz* · 16-04-2023 01:36PM

West Ham were being boo'd by their own fans about 5 mins ago. Now they are alive and chasing a quick double of goals.

You mean Arsenal do.

AllGunsBlazing · 16-04-2023 01:48PM

Surely they're not gonna blow another two goal lead?!

And even then they mightn't bother.

ctrl-alt-delete · 16-04-2023 02:11PM

Saka puts it wide, doing things the hard way are Arsenal.

ShamoBuc · 16-04-2023 02:13PM

Saka looked so nervous stepping up to that. Like a rabbit in the headlights.

You were saying???

ShamoBuc · 16-04-2023 02:14PM

Arsenal cough up a 2 good lead..... again.

2 good 2b true?

Fitz* · 16-04-2023 02:17PM

Arsenal faking injuries has come back to haunt them.

Jesus goes down holding his face, because he chested the ball and even had to take off his boot for some reason. West Ham gain possession and score the equaliser.

Seriously? Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

AllGunsBlazing · 16-04-2023 02:18PM

Can't keep a clean sheet to save their lives. Even if they still shade this, they're not winning the league.

ShamoBuc · 16-04-2023 02:22PM

Arsenal a bit all over the place. They need a sub or two to come on and revitalise them.

y0ssar1an22 · 16-04-2023 02:39PM

potential peno there to WHU? seemed like ramsdale caught bowen in the face

Antonio was offside so it doesn't matter if he did.

y0ssar1an22 · 16-04-2023 02:42PM

antonio really gotta score there

The subs have not changed anything really.

West Ham more likely to win with a counter attack.

y0ssar1an22 · 16-04-2023 02:55PM

advantage city. 2-2 FT. arsenal if they avoid defeat at the etihad can still do it.

ctrl-alt-delete · 16-04-2023 02:56PM

Whatever about Anfield and Liverpool, Today has just been unacceptable.

They haven't a hope against City, as much as I was hoping for Arsenal to win the title I think it is City's for sure now.

TitianGerm · 16-04-2023 02:57PM

F**king Arsenal doing a Spurs and throwing this league away. Pressure is building and they're wilting.

They need to get their heads right because it'd be an absolute disaster if they drop points at Southampton next week.

SlickRic · 16-04-2023 02:58PM

I've said it most of the season.

This Arsenal side isn't it.

They're not solid enough under proper scrutiny, and don't actually keep the ball well enough when they really need to.

That was a whimper today.

ShamoBuc · 16-04-2023 02:58PM

A carbon copy game from Arsenal.

2 up and playing well.

End up hanging on for a draw.

Bottlers - a term used in the past by a few posters towards Liverpool but one that is used now for Arsenal.

I think they have been playing great football at times but lack the experience of playing under such pressure that being chased by City brings.

It is a new situation for them but I wouldn't necessarily call them bottlers.

I think the pressure is now ramping up on them - and Arteta - and makes the run in all the more interesting.

16-04-2023 02:59PM

Wow, another two goal lead blown. The pressure in the home straight is making Arsemnal crack. Newcastle under Keegan springs to mind.

Great chance to take control v City in ten days time though. The doubters can be silenced...

NIMAN · 16-04-2023 03:00PM

Couldn't believe the media asking was the league over a few months back when Arsenal were 8pts clear.

Thats it over now. City have this wrapped up now. They are on a roll.

16-04-2023 03:01PM

Arsenal do also have to put up with the fact Man City only really have one traditional rival and that's geographic whereas Arsenal have 7 or 8 teams who will raise their game just because of their name. For West Ham losing to Arsenal is bad, losing to City is meh.
