Post Match Arsenal 2 Leicester 1

[Jeff]

Vardy gave us half time lead from the penalty spot.
Simpson was sent off early in the second half after getting a second yellow card.
Walcott equalised in the 70th minute. Welbeck scored the winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

 

[Matt_B]

Simpson and Wasilevski to blame for me.

 

[fitz]

Was you ****ing bellend

 

[MerseyFox]

Arsenal do the double

 

[Miles Away]

Brave performance.

Nobody to blame. Ref was shitting his pants.

 

[bocadillo]

Gutted

...BUT STILL TWO POINTS CLEAR

 

[Joe_Fox]

Very soft red card, should have had a penalty, annoyed annoyed annoyed.

 

[SwedeFox]

That hurt me

 

[Matt_B]

Brave performance.

Nobody to blame. Ref was shitting his pants.

So you don't think that was a stupid, pointless challenge at the end?

 

[MerseyFox]

6 out of 9 points after these 3 games is still not a bad return. Onward and upwards.

 

[H T B]

Hope the players don't feel as down as I do.
Oh well, no longer favourites

 

[LeeCovFox]

Simpson and Wasilevski to blame for me.

Utterly bizarre that your first response is to apportion blame. That was a ****ing heroic performance.

Two points clear, nice run of fixtures to come, and in a better position relative to fifth than we were before the weekend's game. Life is good.

 

[Miles Away]

So you don't think that was a stupid, pointless challenge at the end?

There was 94 minutes prior to it.

Daft challenge of course.

 

[Feriol]

Brave performance after the sending off (which I thought was harsh)

Was was immense other than the crazy dash at the end.

We are still top and only the third defeat of the season so nothing to be concerned about.

 

[Redditch Fox]

So many times. Arsenal and other" big" clubs get the big decisions when it matters in their home games. I always feared we would lose a player in this fixture......tragic defeat assisted by some naivety on our part.

 

[Graz]

So so frustrating, mainly because we came so close.

Simpson was stupid, ridiculous foul from Wasi at the end. Why Drinkwater didn't hold it in the corner rather than crossing too... Naive play.

Frustrating but we gave It our all and came so close to holding on. Still top by 2 points!

 

[NYC Fox]

Well well, they did the double over us. We showed poor discipline, but not surprising against Arsenal who have the 2nd worse discipline in the Premier League - I've haven't fact checked this but I get the feeling there have been more sending offs in games Arsenal are in than any other single team.

It's not the end of the world, and a couple of wins against Norwich and WBA and this will be well behind us. Arsenal will win nothing this season.

 

[M17TT C]

3 points well earned by the ref playing to the crowd throughout the whole second half.

Horrible way to lose but here's to the next 10 unbeaten again.

 

[FOX Franks]

Mixed emotions on this one.

1/ Damn. We looked like we might hold out.

2/ What was Was thinking??

3/ 6 points from 3 games none of us felt particularly confident about

4/ Thank Christ. Maybe now the media will shut up and we can carrying on just winning without everyone getting all excited and putting pressure on

5/ Seriously Sky? The commentators were absolutely creaming themselves when the second went in. Apparently no other team now has a chance of winning the title, it's over and we had better give it to Arsenal.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Giroud is a bit of a knob really. Went down like a cheap whore. Arsenal beating little leicester and they look like they've won the Champions League! Referee doesn't like us clearly
