    Penalty decision is still gross incompetence.

    Half time. Nil-nil.

    Arsenal the better side the last 15-20 minutes with a handful of solid chances. If the attack is sustained they should land 1-2 of their shots eventually.

    Gabriel pinch hitting ably for Koz today.

    Yeah, I'm flabbergasted at that one cause we've seen a lot of cheaper play get called without hesitation. It wasn't the harshest foul but it was a clear foul.

    In other news, I suppose I should check and see if the kids are enjoying their spring break...

    Replays aren't the clearest, but it looks like the ref had a clear view too.

    Nice to see you get involved in a MD thread. Especially when you appeared to have signed off from Arsenal this week. ;)

    But Iwobi not playing well?? Of course! He's on the bench. :p

    I watch, I just go in with more pragmatism than before. Plus it helps that I'm at home on a rainy day.

    Yeah, at second glance I realized it was Welbeck, but had already hit "send" so what're you gonna do?!

    Forcing a child to watch Arsenal in recent form qualifies as child abuse in 28 states.

    Ozil open at the 6 but closed down before he can pull the trigger.

    Click "edit"? It's your friend.

    P.s. I have plenty of trouble making out players, but mixing up Welbeck for Iwobe, that's special. [emoji848]

    How on earth does the ref say Ozil got fouled there but the earlier call wasn't a penalty?

    Starting to see more gambling passes. regression to long ball due to fatigue or mental lapses?

    Meh, my video player is clocking in at about 8"x10", so...

    A soft, intended shot that almost felt like an "Excuse me" goal, but hard to argue it's not deserved. Keeper should've done better, I thought.

    Oooh. Great exchange play between Ozil and Walcott feeds Welbeck but he comes a bit late and the keeper is able to stuff him.

    So Martinez is now our #1?

    How long will that be? What happened to Ospina?

    Ozil looking solid today. Well involved and making some great exchanges. Gets a great cross to Elneny who heads it too hard into ground before the keeper calmly collects.

    as the announcers said, "The approach play was vintage Arsenal." Nice movement off the ball. Ozil with a basic run down the left and surprisingly open, so he tees up Theo for a one-timer into the lower corner.
