Second official to Andre Marriner: "Just send a black player out, yeah...any will do."

Racist FA    If this isnt proof enough that the FA think all black people look the same, then I dont know what else will   

incredible.

all those black kids look alike to this ref.

Ox telling him, but he won't have it.

Hapless_Hans wrote:how the *bleep* is something like that possible?

that's completely crazy.
And why doesn't the Ox say something?!

It looked like he was trying to but it seems like the ref didn't believe him

Giroud should have made it 1-0 before any of this.

Wish we had a striker.

Any game we are down two goals is already decided. Let alone three. Even if there were still 11 men out there it wouldn't matter because of that traffic cone  

dafuq am i watching

BT Sport Commentator: "Arsenal have looked much better defensively since that third goal".

Errrrr......

Giroud should just leave Arsenal. Turning into the scapegoat there.

Etihad, Anfield and now the Bridge. 14 goals conceded there, with another half to play.

EDIT: To be fair to the referee, he didn't see anything. The call (which WAS a sending off to The Ox) came from the linesman.

EDIT: 4-0.

It's a big match. Therefore, Mourinho has set up for the draw. Get ready for the customary 1-0 win or 1-1 draw.  

In all seriousness, though. Mourinho nearly always plays the "safe" route in big matches, playing his strongest midfield lineup. When I say strongest, I mean their physical strength, by the way. Where some managers look to win the midfield battle with short, intricate passing and flooding the area with more numbers, Mourinho loves the brute force approach. It's a perfectly valid approach, and it's one that has been successful for him.

I don't know how you can say that's not an attack minded linup

up 3:0 after 15 minutes - that antifootball

I'm sorry eh and all other arsenal resident fans. But this is a PATHETIC display with so much at stake. Unbelievably bad.

"...  but Mourinho will probably end badly, while Wenger will be   loved and respected everywhere he's been.... "

Doesn't matter if he's 32 or 36 or 45. Big game player gonna big game play.

Well this was an anti-climax of a top-4 game. "Arsenal's biggest of the season", too, according to Wenger.

Rosicky is great, though.

Like pretty much every Arsenal top 4 game   

[13:37:28] MaraVilla : Ref: "Gibbs, you're off!" The Ox: "But ref, it was me!" Ref: "Shut up Walcott, get on with the game

To be honest lovely play by Chelsea. Great movements off the ball, very intelligent long passes being played at times which are obviously trained. They have hussled Arsenal as soon as they step into the midfield.

Arsenal on the other can't even string a few passes together. Just like Liverpool showed, this is not the old Arsenal who were technically gifted players and I said it more than a year ago. Technical, attacking play has given its place to physical, defensive football and the EPL's table is a clear evidence to this.

Everything is wrong in Wenger's tactical plans. Their slow defence does NOT work with high pressing (and poor pressing by any standards). Should have just sit back like he had in the previous encounter.

I see LFC's form this season has brought out the troll and cocky nature in Art Morte. Was quite as a mouse last season   

Anyways, this game is a farce. Marriner is in deep trouble after this. I don't think we'll be seeing him ref in the top flight for a long time.

This could end up being 8-0 at FT

yeah agreed, it will be difficult for Arsenal fans to accept that but Wenger got it wrong again looks like almost a repeat of Liverpool game, I thought Wenger would have learned something there. I think starting Shürrle was a masterstroke by Maureeno, he was involved in all four goals. That flick for the fourth goal watching this game just because of him

Men Vs Boys part 50

This is only the third time in Premier League history that Arsenal have conceded 4+ goals in the first half of a game.

Do you remember when the second time was Mt ?

Oscar

This season alone:

3-6 vs. City
1-5 vs. Liverpool
0-4 at HT vs. Chelsea

At some point you got to question the coach surely.

I hope Arsenal dont screw up in the next season because in case ManUtd pick up because of a good/new manager or for some other reason, also Spurs will look to break in T4; they need to make sure that they stay in T4.

Of course Liverpool need to make sure that they add another WC quality in the next season.
