Letting two 2-goal leads slip in a week is unforgivable

Pressure choke. We were never realistically in the title race.

Fitting that the game ended with us aimlessly passing the ball around, the very thing that fucked the game for us in the first place :banghead:

Sadly, it seems we are doing our best to bottle another title chance. The best chance we've had since 2004.

We have had a great run so far at the top of the league. I have been following via result alerts and an Arsenal podcast. I still can't believe we're going to do it, but that's self-protection and scepticism after that final decade of failure from TOF, plus all the subsequent underachievement until last summer. Leading the league all the way has been glorious, but it only matters after the game on May 28th. Sadly, this performance today - dropping more points - does not bode well. We need City's fixture congestion to make them drop more points.

Nice to see the huddle back. We should never have stopped doing that; goes to show what a 'team of individuals' we became after the Invincibles side broke up. Nice first goal, played onside and passed in to get slotted home by Jesus. Ødegaard, unmarked, puts away our second goal in the space of three minutes.

It was so great and such a relief to see us take control of a game after ten minutes. For so many years it was agonising to watch us pass sideways, pass around the opposition box, then concede inevitably on the break because our defenders were always too far away from their own goal. Sadly, we went right back to that after the first half hour.

West Ham got into the game later in the first half and it never went back. We were fucked over on a West Ham handball on the run up to Gabriel conceding a silly penalty, which they scored. VAR fucks us again. They put us under pressure and it was the same old Arsenal. Fortunately, we survived until half-time.

Early in the second half, Antonio gifted us a penalty, which Saka missed. I don't think he should ever be on penalties in high-pressure situations. Then we go and concede a fucking equaliser, for the second game in a row, thanks to a Bowen strike similar to Ødegaard's.

We looked like collapsing again. Jesus was unlucky to miss a cross across the face of goal midway through the second half, then West Ham go on the break again. Thankfully, they did not score this time. It also seems that Arteta tries to adhere to TOF's sanctified and standard 70th minute substitution. I wonder if it was pre-arranged as well. I can't believe he took Jesus off. Antonio hit the top of the crossbar, then hit the post late in the game.

We were lucky to draw. First half an hour was sublime, the rest was utter shite.

Fuck off the lot of you
Absolutely nothing has changed in terms of mentality when it matters most
2-2 at Anfield acceptable
2-2 against that shower of shit, just about as embarrassing as it gets

Spineless. No leaders. Awful substitutions. Terrible attitude. Players hiding. Same wankers costing us again. Fuck off

That's harsh, in fact we're still top. God only knows how, but we are.
