Almunia's cost us 2 points today, but Cech, Hilario, Foster and Kuszaczk have done the same. The sad thing is fair enough he's an idiot and he might make a mistake that leads to a goal, but when the reason we're not 2 up is because their keeper is very good then it hurts.

But the title isn't over until we find out the result of the United vs Chelsea game.

I expected Chelsea to drop points more than us dropping points. Nasri and Arshavin turned the game in our favour. Before that, it was all Diaby and maybe Fabregas.

Looking back at the chance Arshavin had when Bendtner passed to him and of course the 1v1 for Nasri which I think no matter what he did, he should have scored. Who was he trying to pass to ?

fawlty manuel strikes again…..

Birmingham substitute Kevin Phillips scored a stoppage-time equaliser as Arsenal’s title challenge was blown off course in a bruising encounter.

After a dull first half that finished 0-0 Wenger made a double change with Nasri and

in the 81 minutes Nasri scored a goal of real quality. He picked up the ball 40 yards out and charged to the edge of the box before unleashing a right-footed strike into the far corner.

In the last few mins with Birmingham pushing for an equaliser, gaps were opening up at the back and Nasri should have made it 2-0 but missed when one on one with Hart.

But the Gunners paid the ultimate penalty as a Hart free-kick was only half-cleared allowing Craig Garder to clip the ball back into the box for Kevin Phillips to poke it towards goal and through Almunia’s hands for a dramatic late equaliser.

Ratings

Almunia - (2) One shot 2 deal with in 90mins and he allowed it to go throw his fingers for a soft goal.We will never win anything with this clown as our number one keeper.
Sagna – (6.5) Decent game, But poor crossing
Campbell – (7.5) Looked pretty solid, Won everything in the air.
Song – (6.5) Booked for a late tackle but apart from that did ok.
Clichy – (6.5) Same as Sagna
Fabregas – (5.5) Poor game.
Denilson – (6.0) wasteful and slow
Diaby – (8.0) MOTM, Powerful and great skils
Walcott – (7.0) Showed some good movement and pace. Missed a good early chance
Bendtner – (6.5) Poor game.
Rosicky – (7.5) Played well, Worked hard and never gave the ball away

Subs:
Nasri, - (7.5) Changed the game and scored a great goal (Replaced Walcott)
Arshavin -(7.0) Did well, Showed some flair and pace (Replaced Rosicky)

And this is the arsenal way for F##king things up. Missing clear chances, having 3 points in the pocket, and if not the referees, a damn blooper f##k us.

Almunia, I don't have any more negative adjetives for you.

Wenger is to blame for keeping this "thing" so many years.

Now will be harder to win the tittle, I hope players don't f##k their minds up, and keep winning after this bad result.

One thing is for sure, a victory would have made us even more stronger and confidents for the next games, this is what pisses me off.

I don't want to start that anti-wenger again,but my opinion is that he made a mistake today,he should play with Arshavin,Eboue and Nasri from the beginning,those are the players who are in best form at this moment in our team,and Denilson&Diaby can't play together,and Denilson shouldn't be playing in Arsenal at all!Bendtner has played badly today cause he didn't have Arshavin as a partner from the beginning,Bendtner played excellent in partnership with Arshavin,and that's one more reason why I think Wenger made a mistake today,it's simple,he shouldn't change the winning combination,but anyway he did that
