Arsenal 3-3 Norwich City
Another dreadful home display saw Arsenal held to a 3-3 draw by Norwich City at the Emirates stadium. That result could prove very costly.
Yes, very costly because third place which Arsenal seemed so destined for in recent weeks after making a mesmerizing run to climb up the table, is now in danger of being gifted back to Tottenham or Newcastle who are both just two points adrift of the Gunners with as many games in hand.
Arsenal have chosen to it the hard way.

And if they had won today,Wenger’s would have done it the hard way after Norwich gave them a real run for their money. The visitors went behind to Benayoun’s terrific curler only 66 seconds after kick-off but Norwich responded and got their reward with an equalizer after 12 minutes courtesy of a half-blunder from Szczesny who failed to keep his grip on saved shot as the ball creeped into the net.
On 27 minutes, it was even more terrible scenes at the Emirates. Holt found a lot of space upfront and his shot at goal was deflected by Gibbs before the ball chipped over Arsenal’s on-rushing goalkeeper and into the net. Norwich were 2-1 ahead at half-time.
The hosts did show their expected fight back after the break, but in truth, Norwich’s equal efforts made it an even contest. But after Oxlade-Chamberlain and Chamakh were introduced midway through the second-half, Arsenal sparked the fire again as Van Persie pounced on a trademark long pass from Alex Song to level matters at 2-2. And with just ten minutes and injury time left, VanPersie capitalized on a mistake from Norwich’s defense to net his 3oth league goal of season and put Arsenal back ahead. But the Gunners’ own defensive woes gave Norwich the last laugh as Gibbs and Vermaelen went missing on the left side of defense to hand Morrison the chance to race past Koscielny and score a dramatic equalizer.
Arsenal’s miserable run

Lack of quality in depth of squad is going to be our downfall this season.
Over rated and over hyped Chokers
Arsanel were not playing their level best & they shld forget being in CL nxt season wat a crap supporting arse its only 1 game left while spurs had 2 more games arghhhhh!!
The only donkey is a welsh prat called Ramsy!
Again and again week in week out we see his absence has an advantage !
As soon as that failed shameless donkey leaves arsenal start playing flowing attacking football.
Ramsy must leave or we deserve this humiliation.
Anyone accepting such quality like Ramsy deserves to be humiliated today !!
That’s the price you pay for being so stubborn and blind like Arsene !!!
vERY WELL SAID…i HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT rAMSEY IS HOPELESS SINCE HE COST US THE POINTS AGAINST SWANSEA…REMEMBER HIM GIVING AWAY A BLANTANT PENALTY ?AND LOSING THE BALL FOR THEIR WINNING GOAL…ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH,AND WENGER SHOULD SHPULDER THE RESPONSABILITY
What’s his nationality got to do with anything?
Racist prick!
The player’s name is RamsEy by the way. You sure you’re an Arsenal fan? Doesn’t seem like you’re paying much attention. Thank Christ you’re not watcning a ball. . .
Wow. A spelling mistake. Was your mother an English teacher.
Ramsey. Ramsy. Ramsi.
Who cares. He’s still welsh and crap!
If that’s the issue you need real help.
DENCH ……….
LOL ….. LOL
Champions League …
LEAVE IT !!!
As that fool Frimpong would say !!!
U need to show the players some respect. Donkeys? Really? I am very frustrated. Angry even… But donkeys? Come in on.
I hate to say that but it really whenever Ramsey play, we will have a hard game. Starting from Feb, when AW started with Rosicky instead of Ramsey, we have a very run and beaten no of strong teams while once AW used Ramsey replaced Rosicky, we ended our run by losing to no of bottom team. Couple weeks ago, when AW benched Ramsey again, we again won no of big games. While once Ramsey was placed for the poor Arteta since 9 min of the Wigan game, we losed to Wigan and draw three game.
Arsenal 1-2 Wigan Athletic
Apr 21 FT Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea
Apr 28 FT Stoke City 1-1 Arsenal
May 5 FT Arsenal 3-3 Norwich City
If Arteta and Wilshere or even diaby are not available and we are short of mid field. I would rather AW use 4-4-2 like second of today game. Yes, we are still disappointed with today result, but the damaging the 4-4-2 of the second half can create is impressive and far better than the first half.
Well… Ramsey, he can’t create any chance but too lazy to protect def line. No of time he was either too slow or too slow to come back and play def… PLS AW.. No Ramsey..
The usual arsenal miserable story. The weaning character just does exist. I feel so bad for rvp. I wont blame him if he refuses to extend the contract.
well. let me put it this way. We are mierable without Arteta. Please tell me if Ramsey would be in the first eleven for Newcastle or Chelsea or Liverpool. I think not. We shot ourselves in the leg and there is only one person to blame. it is the manager. I remember when the 2003 2004 season started and the pundits were asked which players should we add to the squad to make it better and they had no answer. Well today they could easily list ten players at least. SHAME ON US
the attitude the players showed today was terrible to say the least.No commitment to get back.for example the second goal, ramsey,rosicky and song failed to trackback instead walking majestically.Complacency.Barcelona treat all the teams in europe equally.No small team no big team.That has been arsenal problem for the past seven seasons
Let’s talk facts: When Aaron Ramsey plays more than 60 minutes per game Arsenal average about a point per game less than when he plays less than 30 minutes per game. Look it up! The team has never lost when Ramsey played less than 30 minutes. It’s more than Ramsey though. What is Gibbs doing pushing up the field time and time again with Arsenal holding on to a one goal lead with ten minutes to play? He is clueless and reckless! Szczesny has to take the blame for many bad goals including today. No creative midfielders, reckless gambling defenders and a sometimes shaky goalie. No Champions League for this group.
The only [problem at Arsenal is Wenger thinks this bounch of craps are superstars whiles he think Ramsey will be the best Best Midfielder than Fabregas which game in and game out has shown that Freaky dreams of his are nightmares.
I feel for the Home fans who pay to watch games and thanks to the heavens am back home in Ghana and won’t travel from Yorkshire to watch this crap.
Am thinking the “Wenger Out ” Crusaders are coming back to life again.
Don’t blame no ref blame the crap players we have in Gervinho and RAmsey who can’t even give a decent pass
Maybe you should come to a couple of games to support the team, rather than moaning about them from afar?
I go to home games everything I return home and I am A season ticket holder at block 115.
ok mate
I have watch 12 home games this season before go to Ghana for my cousins wedding.
WELL SAID !!!!
Arsene believes in the crap no one will ever buy !!
Over paid flops that cos us yearly.

instead of blaming Ramsey,I think our defense was nt at it’s best hence should also be blamed.
I think Wenger has too much power and wont change. Get ready for more decline folks until the owners realise you can make profits and win at the same time. It does not have to be one or the other.
Why is everyone blaming Ramsey, i know everyone loves a scapegoat but seriously?!! So it was Ramsey fault that szczesny spilt the ball into his net, it was ramsey’s fault that gibbs kept backing away from holt until he managed to get his shot away! It was ramsey’s fault that Gibbs was up in the wrong end attacking and vermaelen’s positioning was all wrong (song giving the ball away before that).. Before you start blaming him, look at the defence!! How many times did kozzer have to make a last ditch tackle! Give the lad a break!!
yes it was…he lets out negative energy..that a** hole
U guys are basically saying the same tin! But most of u are missing the point like arsene wenger. Its not about buying MESSI, its about leaving him on the bench to play ramsey. Dont u see? If hez benching chamberlain for ramsey and gervinho he wil do the same if he bought messi! Arsenal have ONE ROOT PROBLEM- ARSENE WENGER! If we dont deal wit this problem called wenger, Well buy Messi after podolski and u wil see them on them on the bench for Ramsey, gervinho and chamakh! KILL THE VIRUS AND CANCER CALLED WENGER NOW!

This is all just a waste of time!!! (Crying)
The team reflect the manager, arrogant, tactically inept, overpaid and unable to deal with pressure. Ramsey simply needs a rest, he needed it 10 games ago. I am a season ticket holder, I dont make these comments on the back of highlight packages, Arsene please go now before your legacy is hurt more.
Thou i have to say… Szczney kept like a FRIGHTENED SCHOOL BOY TODAY didnt he?
Really guys, Bendtner would’ve given us something different had he come on, not Chamakh. we should bring him back next season
U need to show the players some respect. Donkeys? Really? I am very frustrated. Angry even… But donkeys? Come on.
The trouble with we Arsenal funs is that we’re too emotional to be objective about our problems. Unless we can objectively identify our problems, finding a consistent and a winning solutions will always be as elusive as finding an effective vaccine for the common cold.
Mr Arsen does not mind if arsenal ask him to step down as manager,because he has 26millions to enjoy himself in south of France.Or may be he climb the ladder and join Mr Gazidisse in the board room taking some lovely decision regarding contract and wage increase for the deadwoods. As I said before it is costing the fans a lot of money to watch their team.Some players can’t even bother to chase the ball,,We need player who is determine to play for a great club and show interest .Some of the players we have now is not good enough to play for London Conley .We bought Pod and Arsen already said that we don’t probably need any more players.WE. NEED QUALITY PLAYERS.NOT AVERAGE PLAYERS. At the moment we don’t deserve to play in CL. Not. Until we have a quality squad .IT IS SAD FOR A GREAT CLUB. PLEASE BRING MR USAMOV AND LET HIM USE HIS MONEY TO BOOST THE CLUB BY BUYING SOME QUALITY PLAYERS. WE KEEP HESITATING TO BUY PLAYERS FOR FIVE MILLIONS.WE GO ROUND AND ROUND UNTIL THE WINDOW CLOSE. WHO. IS. EXACTLY. BENEFITING BY NOT BUYING THE PLAYERS REQUIRED . THE FANS ARE ANGRY AFTER TODAY’S MATCH,WHO WANT TO BUY THE NEW ARSENAL SHIRT FOR 50 POUNDS. MR WENGER PLEASE LISTEN TO THE FANS FOR ONCE. IF YOUR HANDS IS TIED UP THEN DENOUCE THE CULPRIT.TAKE YOUR FORTUNEAND GO AND ENJOY YOURSELF.
who the hell needs CL anyway? Concentrate on EPL & FA Cup
How can u field Gibbs(19 yrs) and leave a healthy Santos(28 yrs) on the bench? Are u experimenting? Do u really want to be a title contender or a participant? Hw many yrs have we seen the youth project backfire? Can’t Ramsy pick his fitness or sharpness from smewhere else other than crucial games? When players are injured, that is an excuse for not winning games. When they are fit, it is time to first experiment with the youth/ forever upcoming players. Sensibly u’d rather bag the 3 points then try experimenting afterwards but this stubborn fellow has always done the reverse. He enjoys things the hard way and he is not bothered by what the fans feel.
