Arsenal Post Match Thread.

Makes complaining about the Sane decision pretty pathetic, doesn't it.

This is what Wenger had to say after this goal

"I have not seen the replay of our goal and I did not see from the bench it go in,” Wenger told Sky Sports

Yet he could clearly see that Sane was 2mm offside whilst running at full pelt

I'm beginning to understand now why the rags have derided this old has-been for all these years

I presume it must be a club policy but since Mancini the club, has in general, kept a dignified silence instead of criticising the refs post match like Arsenal, Chelsea, United managers so often do. It is actually something I think we should be proud off.

Me too. Hughes used to be embarrassing, week after week. Some managers oversee umpteen stupid mistakes by their own players during a game, then go ballistic about the one mistake the ref made. The next week, when the boot is on the other foot, they "didn't see it".

The 2nd one yes. The 1st one, no, he's off.

Incidentally and off-topic perhaps, but I am far from convinced that Leicester's 4th goal actually crossed the line, goal line technology or no goal line technology. The BT Sport "animation" was basically a made up cartoon that proved nothing. Clearly the ref got the signal, but how accurate is the system. I looked at it again and again and am not at all sure it was completely over the line. But since that was 4-0 at the time, seemed somewhat irrelevant.

Not true that image used by BT and Sky is provided by the Hawke-eye equipment..

Would you have said the same had we lost? ;)

No :-)

Sky with all their technology could not agree on whether the goals were offside. I watched the highlights on Sky Sports 1 and was assured by the commentators both goals were not offside and they showed reruns to prove their case. When the highlights finished I switched over to Sky Sports News to see an item saying both goals were offside.

Keith Hackett in the telegraph is saying that both goals were onside.

Not sure if this is how to post a link, but for what it's worth:-

Also, I couldn't care less, we're due a bit of luck.

They were both offside. City haven't scored a legitimate goal since 2008 according to the media

In the 1st half we were poor, but a team playing for the title having scored the opener should have gone for the jugular. City took advantage and grew into the game, but Arsenal were terrible. I am not trying to do city down, I was just shocked by how complacent they were. And once the game was slipping beyond them, they just carried on playing in the same vein in what was a really big game for them.

Against Chelsea and leicester we got well beat, but our standard of performance never sunk to the level we saw from Arsenal. Only sanchez played well. After the goal, where was Walcott? Where was Ozil?

I looked at the Arsenal team warming up and I looked at our team, and I couldn't see us winning, and yet in the end we thoroughly deserved to win, but for me I was as shocked with Arsenal's ineptitude as I was pleased with the win

We were not well beaten by Chelsea
Had the game had a referee we would have been out of sight by half time

You could see in his attitude where he had played the majority of his career.

Some players suit certain clubs, like John Terry suits Chelsea. Hughes never suited us in the slightest.

In the mail it shows cechs line of vision for sterlings goal, silva is nowhere near therefore the goal was not offside. Martin Samuel said you would need the Hubble telescope to detect sane was offside, so wenger can go fuck himself :-)
