As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
It's looking more and more like it's the Chavs or the dippers* for the league..It won't be us anyway..not with El beige in charge Theres more chance of a rocking horse tapering a shite off in my back garden than there is of us winning the title
City have just downed tools on pep, it’s a plain to see.
It’s not going to end well, and Legohead will be waiting with open arms and the checkbook for the rejects
There is no downing tools, they are just not good enough and far too porous in the middle of the park without a number 6. Injuries, ageing key players and lack of confidence are hard to overcome in football.

They've dropped off a cliff in the last 2 months, the last time they won back to back games was October and one of those was Southampton.
So they lost Rodri, and all of their players got 2 months older in that time period, along with the rest of the world, and this has all contributed to the likes of Haaland and Silva changing their minds and not quite believing their up to it anymore.
They went out training optimally on Monday and by Wednesday had zimmerframes and couldnt get up off the grass?
If their run of results happened over a 6-12 month period i could possibly agree with your reasons, but over 2 months reeks of players just not being fussed. Chavski have done it, Utd did it to Ten Hag, even our lads did it to Emery in his last months. Its not uncommon!
Saying that Robertson's red wasn't a goal scoring chance so not a red.
Different rules
They all closed ranks to support the ref / VAR over our 3 questionable reds this season. Completely different reaction over the Robinson red and it will be no surprise at all to see it overturned.

They’ve lost Rodi, Kovacic and Stones. Ajani and Ake were out yesterday. This is a punishing fixture schedule where you need all your players. Sometimes fans like to find all kinds of theories to explain a team’s slump in form when there is a simple footballing reason. They didn’t down tools after 88mins against United yesterday. They were winning until 2 catastrophic defensive errors cost them the game. What this has revealed is how flawed and also lucky Pep has been with his philosophy because the system simply doesn’t function without certain players and he struggles to adapt. Same thing happened at Bayern Munich. His teams are vulnerable when they can’t dominant the ball. That’s plain to see.
