Arsenal

[Chris]

Two really poor sides. Lacazette is crap.

[Maxiedge]

I like Lacazette. Let’s agree to disagree on that one.

[RichC]

Seen nothing in him so far myself, big reputation but he’s not impressed me so far. Maybe next season we’ll see more from him

[Norbs]

I can't believe that Wenger has the audacity to wheel outbthe 'didn't see it' argument. He's a massive hypocritical cunt he really is

[Kenneth]

He said the ref didn't see it because there was a player in the way, which the replay suggested wasn't true.

But I think it was a pen, the arm was way out in front of his body and motions towards the ball, almost like a karate chop. Handball for me.

Wenger in trouble....

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger charged by FA after West Brom draw

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been charged by the Football Association over comments made to match officials after Sunday's 1-1 draw at West Brom.

The Frenchman was angry after referee Mike Dean gave the Baggies a last-minute penalty, which they scored.

It is alleged the 68-year-old's conduct in the match officials' changing room was abusive and that he questioned the integrity of the referee.

Wenger has until 18:00 GMT on Friday to respond to the charge.

With just a minute remaining at The Hawthorns, Calum Chambers was penalised after Kieran Gibbs pushed the ball onto his arm, but Wenger felt his player had not deliberately handled.

Football's laws state handball must be a "deliberate act" and the distance between the opponent and ball should be considered. Chambers was standing about two metres from Gibbs.

Speaking on Tuesday, before the charge was announced, Wenger said: "It was very disappointing.

"What is more frustrating for me is it happened many times this season - at Stoke, Watford, Man City, now West Brom.

"It is a concerning coincidence for me. That is why as well I was not at all happy with the movement the referee made as to why he gave the penalty. It did not correspond at all with what happened.

"On that front, it's a bit worrying."

Last January, Wenger was given a four-match touchline ban by the FA after being found guilty of misconduct after an incident with fourth official Anthony Taylor during a league game against Burnley.

Wenger's side, who are fifth in the Premier League, host third-placed Chelsea on Wednesday (19:45 GMT).

What's the ideal results tonight? A draw so we gain two points on each or Chelsea win to put Arsenal further away from us?

I think I prefer the first option, but it would be nice to have a bit more room to Arsenal and only have Spurs to focus on for a bit.

[Alex]

A draw. I want 2nd this season, so we need all rivals to drop points. A draw, Chelsea losing, Arsenal losing. In that order

[Alex]

All of the things are good though.

[Fosterbloke]

We can't really lose to be honest. I think I'd prefer a draw followed by a Chelsea win.

Having Arsenal win would keep them in the hunt. I'd rather they lose hope!

[Kenneth]

Agreed. The difference between coming 2nd and 4th is trivial compared to the difference between 4th and 5th.

[Fosterbloke]

Agreed. The difference between coming 2nd and 4th is trivial compared to the difference between 4th and 5th.

Especially as fourth place will enjoy automatic qualification this season.

[Roboklopp]

Gooners ahead.

See I think we’d be best if Arse lose & drop out the fight for top 4.

[Roboklopp]

Haha pen.

[Buzzo]

Huge dive from Hazard to win the pen.
