    Penalty saved. Isn't this just…That would have been a Mkhitaryan as well.

    Hahaha.

    Thank Christ for that - my City clean sheet points were in danger there.

    Who do you have from City?

    Ottamendi and Augero so not going brilliantly so far. Could do with Sergio at least chipping in with one.

    I sold Otamendi, and regretting it. Feared he would be rested at some point, but the guy just keeps on playing every match. Wondering if Ederson might be worth getting eventually.

    Official 'attendance' 58000.

    No that's how many mugs you conned into buying season tickets. Attendance is something different and I'd say it's about 30000 tops.

    Yeah, read that on Twitter just before second half. Can't be 30000 even, if you ask me.

    He's using sanity and logic there and as we know that doesn't apply to the Arsenal board.

    Down to about 10000 now. And half of them City fans.

    Logic is a word that doesn't exist at Arsenal. He could at least make some changes at this point. Have som fresh legs or whatever for the weekend match - but he won't even do that.

    How often do we see that? Maybe at Sunderland or something? The poor attendance I mean.

    It's so quiet now you can actually hear individual fans talking to each other.

    They barely even got booed off as there weren't enough fans left to drown out the City fans cheering.

    Oh boy, that sounds so much like Hodgson when he lost it at Liverpool, came out with a soundbite just like that after one of LFC's worst ever games.

    It would have been good to have a epl match on tonight like they do in the BUN and LG1.
    LG1 has 2 on tonight...Come on FA, fix the situation.

    Instead they play several games at the same time tomorrow ?

    England has the: Premier League ,Championship and League One football.

    Do you like the way it is ? or do you prefer the way other countries have it ?
    Premier League ,League 2 etc

    Hodgson never had it at Liverpool to lose.

    You're the first person I'm aware of actually who likes Friday night games. Sky have tried it a few times but thankfully it's clearly not catching on as I can't remember the last time they had one.

    He can't have seen the same match as everyone else did. What is he trying to achieve by these comments?

    Not a fan if Friday night games, either. The odd game is OK, but I feel the matches should be played on Saturdays and Sundays. If your team plays on Friday night, then the rest of the weekend is just littered with matches you don't care about.

    Still no sign of Bazza. I'm getting rather worried now. Maybe we should send someone round to his house to check his car isn't suspiciously running in the garage with doors closed?

    Lol! They cancel most things when we get a little bit of snow here in the UK. Embarrassing really.

    It's a bit strange. It's an outdoor sport, after all. Remember when this match was played!

    Surely it's Burnley-Everton? :))
    Everton ahead by one goal now. What do we do with Pope in FPL, @TheWizardOfIce?

    Burnley fights back a deserved 2-1 victory. Say what you want about Burnley, but I enjoy watching them anytime. Williams got a red, too. Unnecessary arm in Barnes' face there.

    You mean you didn't have Lowton in your defence for the assist?

    Dyche just what the doctor ordered for Arsenal but of course they won't go for him because they think he's beneath them.

    You got Lowton?! Man, that must feel good right now!
    Well, Dyche would have been like viagra for the Arsenal team right now. There's nothing happening there. Guardian claims the players had a meeting, where one of the payers was close to tears about the situation. Brutal if true…

    Even though I've got him I need Kane to do bugger all second half as the guy in 2nd has him captain and the guy in 3rd has triple captained him.

    In the same situation myself! The guy leading a mini league where I'm second captained Kane, while I have Salah. He also took a -4, but has Son.

    Watching Brighton go up 1-0 against Arsenal. Has the defense got even worse since Thursday?!

    Make that 2-0!

    So pissed off. Saw Brighton at 3/1 to win and was so close to putting a tenner on but I thought surely at some point Arsenal must turn up mustn't they? Bet the odds for Arsenal to win from here are decent but I'm not a complete mug.

    Stuck at work for the first half but they're absolutely rinsing Ozil's attitude on the radio.

    Will he go in the morning? I think it's gone beyond letting him leave with dignity in the summer. Letting him go on form here is more undignified. Even for a heartless bastard like me it's gone beyond laughable to tragic now. He was a fantastic manager once but now all he will be remembered for will be the 10 years of decline culminating in this unseemly slow motion car crash that gets more cringeworthy to watch by the week.

    In every other top 6 club (I'm stretching that category right now), he'd be replaced tomorrow, but as this is Arsenal after all, he'll be there next season too, I think. The owners are afraid to search for a replacement.

    Could have been up by 6 goals, Brighton. It's that bad.
