Coquelin can fuck right off in my book. Folk on here slaughtered Diaby for supposedly singlehandedly giving Newcastle all 4 goals in their comeback when he got sent off. Any ten players worth their wages should have closed out a 4 goal advantage against a shit Newcastle side, but nope Abou got slaughtered for shoving that c.unt Joey Barton who absolutely nailed him. Coquelin on the other hand got 2 fucking shit for brains bookings in supposedly one of our biggest NLDs for years with the score at 1-0. Sorry isn't enough - get him out of the fucking side and back in the reserves and teach the selfish little prick a lesson
I think there's a big difference between getting yourself sent off for violent conduct for an off the ball incident and picking up a second yellow for a mistimed, but braindead, tackle when trying to win the ball.
Coquelin had eyes and mind only on winning the ball and helping the team; Diaby had no such defence. So surely, Diaby was selfish? but Coquelin? - what was his motivation other than winning the ball?
Not sure putting him in the reserves and exposing ourselves to Flamini is the answer either. Surely that's cutting off the nose to spite the face.
Personally, I think he's fully aware of what he did and will want to make up for it, so let him try and atone. Same logic for Diaby; he made a mistake and banishing him into the reserves isn't the answer.
A hefty fine and a lot of finger pointing and honesty from his team mates too
I thought we did well to hold out for the draw in the end. Ospina did well, Elneny and Coquelin were impressive, Welbeck worked hard as our only outlet. We were under the cosh for almost the entire 1st half.
It's a bit smalltime as I've alluded to before, but we've effectively killed Tottenham's title chance today and ours was already gone after Swansea, so I'm happy with the point.
Looks like it kicked off big style. Some scummer wrote, that about 1000 of their crunts had a go at 100 or so gooners, coins and all. The cops went in heavy not sure on who. Some crunt mentions Bully apparently got "sparked out"
This shit has got to stop. Someone. Will get killed before long
Fucking disgrace, just heard hundreds of sum attacking single Arsenal fans FFS What is that all about????
Really brave behaviour, hope they are proud of themselves.....can just about understand one on one having a ruck but this is totally out of order......
Police have a duty to protect that are rubbish up in Tottenham
Can't speak for before the game, but afterwards it was as tame as it will ever get for an NLD, no holding back The Arsenal, minimal police presence, no fan segregation.

Probably both selfish - but surely doing it when you're 4-0 up and as a genuine human reaction to some absolute cuntbag flying in at you is more understandable than falling on the ball rugby style and then being stupid enough to slide in on a bloke on the touchline knowing you've already been booked?
Absolutely no defence for Coquelin in my book. That red card has been a while coming. I watched him in the Swansea game and he was diving in like no-one's business. Amazed that someone like Steve Bould who was probably one of the best tacklers I can ever remember watching hasn't taken him to one side
Fans saying it was a good result.Get fucking real and smell the coffee.It was a good result for Leicester and Man City and for the Happy Hammers in the race between them and us for 4th
The Coquelin sending off just disguises another average performance bar Welbeck who was excellent.Ramsey and Ozil were poor again.When is Ozil going to turn up for a big game
1 point out of 9 this week is disgraceful.Leicester to win the tile and Man Utd or West Ham to get us out of 4th.Then the Wenger protests really will begin

Cant agree at all that coqs attempt was just an innocent mistimed challenge. I reckon he deliberately fouled him. And he couldnt even do that right. Just imagine if the Flamster had done the same thing. The shitstorm that would result would break the internet and cause hostgater to explode!

I agree and I would have been one of those slamming Flamoney if he had done it (along with many others as you rightly point out). It was absolutely fucking ridiculous at a time when we were threatening to turn the screw on them and their fans were getting restless. As I said.....I'm struggling to recall a more braindead sending off in years of watching us

You think he meant to foul him? obviously, if that's the case then he deserves to be dropped for the remainder of the season as that would be outrageous given the circumstances.
Personally, I saw it as a incredibly stupid, mistimed tackle. Perhaps I need to see it again as I may have missed something more sinister.
I agree mate. I have zero sympathy for him. Totally cost us valuable points in THIS game, at THIS stage of THIS season of all seasons.
Im still at a loss.

Coquelin: “I did not want us to lose today because at 1-0 I thought we were doing great. A point today is a good point, it is a great result for us. I'm really sorry to all the fans for the red card, I think with 11 against 11 we could have won the game as we were playing really well. This red card changed the game. I’m really sorry to the club, to the team and all the fans. I actually thought I could get the ball when I slide tackled [Harry Kane] - that is why I went for it. I touched him and [the referee] gave me the second yellow. But at the end of the day, it’s a good point and hopefully it will be an important point for the title.”
I think it's good that he's apologised and tried to explain. We never get that from captain Mertesacker when he fucks up and I don't believe we got that from Diaby after the 4-4 at Newcastle.
What Coquelin did was incredibly stupid and it changed the game completely. I'm pissed off with him but you could see straight away he knew what he'd done.
Can't agree that it's a good point though. Not winning despite leading 1-0 at half time is a disaster in the context of this title race.
Sorry

There's no comparison whatsoever between a complete useless waste of space multi millionaire who only played a handful of games who was at best bang average shoving someone in the face to a DM who is there to make tackles getting a second yellow.
Had the ref not been biased today then they would have gone down to 10 and their player would have been on the receiving end of the spud supporters ire and we would have gone into win.
For what it's worth imo the ref gave Newcastle the draw that day and not Diaby.

Yes mate he was miles away from the ball. No chance of getting it. He took Kaane out deliberately down the line imo. Just a pity Kane got up.

If Coq had gone in for the second yellow with the intention to stop that *word censored* Kane, he should have gone knee-high with an elbow on that fucking mask. Am I wrong in thinking that Kane left both feet in to make sure there was contact, exactly like Vardy the other week? Anyway, as usual, another immature decision from a Wanker-coached player which could have cost us everything. Having said that, with Adams, Keown, Dixon, Vieira in that team today, we would have won 1-0.
