We were unlucky today, would have won 9/10. Arsenal got the luck we didn't.

WHy not offside?
You can see where the ref is from the camera far out.. If the hand doesn't touch the ball, it goes wide..
no need for hypocrisy. we also benefited from shit ref today.
He's an Arsenal fan in disguise, no point in arguing with him.
Arsenal got away with two pens against Leicester, that bogus pen they got against Soton and now this handball/offside hybrid goal.
That's 5 points they're better off thanks to the refs. Compared to us being screwed against City and Watford.

So Arsenal have gained four points now this season because of a shit referee decision.
Just fecking implement video refereeing, there's no need to test it, we all know it's going to fecking work.

London clubs always get help from refs
Ow sorry, didn't realise we weren't allowed to complain about the constant shit refereeing in this league.
It's ridiculous - I have watched at least 3 matches where they have won it in overtime due to a referee mistake. Pisses me off.
Not just me then... 
Those offsides never get given though do they?
Handball looked pretty obvious, mind.

Look at the replay again. When Walcott heads the ball Ox and and Kos were both onside. A defender was playing them on on the near side.
Calm everyone.Football luck always evens itself out.
Love all the bitterness.
Big diddums to all you bottom-lip tremblers.

They have been lucky so far, but even if some favorable decisions you can say the ref didn't see it or something but this one? From one of the replays you could see the ref having a clear view and did nothing. State of English refs nowadays..
Not even close to playing him onside.
That's 3 games decided by luck for arsenal. 3 times they are saved by refs this season.
Luck will always run out. That time will come. It's the law of averages.
excellent
And how exactly would it bring disrepute (wtf does that even mean) to the game having a panel of semi-intelligent humans revising that decision ex-post, correcting a blatant wrong in the process?
Both players were onside after Walcott's header. Look at the replay again. A Burnley defender was playing Ox and Kos on.
Nope. I rewound it to double-check. Offside.
How the feck did that goal stand? Couldn't be more obvious that it was a handball and offside
How do you miss that arm ffs. It's not like you need years of veteran refereeing experience, you just need a pair of eyes!
feck off.
feck off.
That's not the point. Oxlade's shot strikes Koscielny who is in offside position. Even if you don't think it's a deliberate handball it's clearly offside.
And I don't think anyone can argue that the handball was deliberate.
When Ox kicks the ball on to Kos's hand though? How are you getting around that?
At the header sure, but Koscielny was clearly offside as Chamberlain was behind him and kicked the ball at Koscielny's hand which was offside.
Not much to be bitter about with Arsenal to be fair. A club that ranks somewhere between PSG and Olympiakos in achievements.
Its Liverpool we should be worried about.
Difference between ourselves and Arsenal summed up today.
What does it matter? It resulted directly in a goal.
It was not offside, about as clear as a handball gets though..
Edit: I only looked at the first situation, didn't think about Koscielny being offside later. So yeah, double feck up by the refs...

I don't think Ox touched the ball. Kos hit it into his hand.
Koscielny is offside when Ox kicks it into his arm on the line
We've let just the 3 in so far, a penalty, a fortunate free kick from Barkley which wasn't a shot and a header from a free kick at Middlesboro. We have a very solid base but the team defends willingly from front to back and let's be honest Alderweireld is exceptional.
Re the title it's not on the agenda for us, our target has to be a top 4 finish, we need to maintain that status. If we are still in the mix cone Feb/March then the target maybe changes.
City regardless of today are the outstanding team in the league and I will be surprised if they don't win it and even with room to spare. And as time goes by and Pep gets what he wants from them and the more teams have a go at them like we did today the more they will learn to cope with it and deal with it, it was handy for us to play you fairly early on.
Who did?
Screw you and your annoying team, Grinner.
I'm done with football...
For the next 2 weeks at least, then we'll repeat it again and ruin another week.
They had three shots on target and won via a dubious handball.
In terms of piling it on at the end, we did the exact same at Hull.
Arsenal are hardly known for their bottle, what is the point you're making?
