Granit Xhaka's error presents Chris Wood with a bizarre equaliser to deprive Arsenal of victory against Burnley at Turf Moor.
At least Arsenil are out of the relegation battle....just...!!! LOL
I respect Arsenal Fans because they don't moan and blame others for their results like Spurs, Man Utd and Liverpool ??
Throughout 94 minutes I was asking what Chambers was doing on the pitch yet Bellerin was on the Bench
I’ve been an Arsenal fan since i was young , Iam now in my 60’s. This must be the worst Arsenal side I’ve seen in all that time. Will I renew my season tickets - doubtful. This game - two poor sides and a dull watch. It matters not now but they really ought to sort this handball shambles out for all the sides benefits - the VAR official is on a par with those clowns Hancock and BJ !!!
I honestly got believe what I just watched if you don’t laugh you will probably smash the whole house up ha AFC
Exactly! The article starts with "Arsenal were denied victory by....XYZ" but the real reason is they lack urgency, intelligence and work ethic. And Xhaka should be sold asap, his red cards and plain stupidity are beyond belief.
I love Xhaka , he's taken over from John Stones ( comedy) .Pepe ...£72 m ??? I love watching Woolwich Arsenal and AFTV nowadays , it cheers me up no end !!
Well played Burnley
Played 10th Placed Woolwich Arsenal Wanderers off the Pitch.
Pepe £72 million ???? missed a sitter!
Thank God for VAR ??
Where was Lacazette though?...
... still looking for his header?
Charity Shield Winners 2020 ?

You need to win something to qualify for charity shield and then win it. Arsenal won FA cup and then charity shield. Your team failed to do both.
The carabao Cup final spurs will learn a harsh lesson. Arsenal are rebuilding. Thee arsenal probably have the stadium virtually paid off. Spurs are just starting to pay off there's. Has Jose's management not driven you away yet. Drove the raver away a long time ago.
Another slip up by the goonies in their battle for a top half finish. Didn't Spurs put four past Burnley last week? Xaka what a clown and that Pepe looks a real cracker.
Ah yes, the famous "We Beat Burnley and Arsenal Didn't" Trophy
Another famous achievement for the Spuds trophy room. Can take pride of place next to the "We Put The Pressure On" trophy and "We Came Third In a 2 Horse Race" Cup.

Another hilarious episode of The Arsenal Show! And people say there's no good comedy these days...
Hopefully Burnley can soon join Arsenal as a mid table club
They are much better than that.
Well done Burnley think of the positives Arsenal your only 27 points behind Manchester City
Well played Burnley. Unlucky Arsenal. Partey and Xhaka did not play well.
Pepe missed a sitter that's what £72m buys you. Anyway another points helps towards finishing in top half
When you make Joelinton look value for money..
A good point for Arsenal in the quest for a top ten finish.
Yes but Villa now have 2 games in hand over Woolwich.
Absolutely. They're only a win away from getting over 40 points now, to be in that position by early March is very impressive.
With some luck with injuries and form, Arsenal could look as high as finishing 9th this season. ??

We were always unhappy about Wenger's top four. It is painful being an Arsenal fan
Ha. Sure Burnley got cast aside by that much bigger outfit recently
What the fans deserve for ousting their most successful manager...muppets, guaranteed top 4 looks a long way off for Arsenal
Arteta - “I love our form right now. I really like the way I am using our talent. I am super excited about our chances of finishing in the top half of the bottom half of the table. Right where we want and ought to be.” ?????? Hated the last days of Wenger, it was hit and miss and way too soft, but this is terrible. Talent to burn and wins rarely on the board. Highly sublime mediocrity!
How funny how the five fans of the most unsuccesful team in north London always seem to come here when their vastly more successful rivals drop a point! How many years without a trophy now? 100?
Unlucky Burnley had the chances to win the game with the Wood chance and the Pieters lob among others but will have to take just the 4 points from the Woolwich. Great block by Pieters too.
Have to say Burnley were the better team today, they fought harder and scored through good tactical play - if a team wants to knock it around their own goalmouth it has to accept the consequences, no blame to Xhaka or Leno, it happens and Burnley deserved something today. We needed Ceballos from the start, so far Odegaard looks a bit out of his depth and played very safe.
Wenger in
What a promising start. Dear oh dear. You think it would be clear to Leno, if playing from the back do not pass to Xhaka. Spurs trolls please form an orderly line here please..
Well...someone please explain how Arsenal's record signing, Pepe, missed that sitter?
It because he is rubbish, and the previous manager was a mug
Honestly it requires special skills to miss that kind of inviting pass. Pepe has that special technique - a rarity these days. Worth each penny of his 72 million.
Because he's crap?
He’s just not very good...
Great battling performance- another point towards safety UTC ?? & 4 points off Arsenal this season ??
Burnley have been robbed by Arsenal in the past. So some levelling up as promised by the government!!!
Arsenal make me sick! Complete joke and Xhaka is a waste of space.!!
Agreed. Makes mistake after mistake and still plays. Much rather have Guendouzi who at least tries to be more positive rather than sideways and backwards passes.
It is unbelievable that Arsenal cannot even beat a team like Burnley! It is high time for Arteta to be dismissed for his incompetence, his disastrous instructions asking his players to start from the back. Though Xhaka (who should have been sacked a long time ago) is responsible for the mistake, Arsenal has adopted a strange way of passing the ball around at the back since the arrival of Arteta.
And some say it’s the right way to play football ??
From all burnley fans we apologise for not letting you win ???? no respect as usual...??
Another ill informed comment from a plastic (probably overseas) fan of "The Big 6"
"A team like Burnley" have beaten each and everyone of the 'Big' clubs in recent times. Some of them more than once.
Yes, we've had some hidings as well, but we simply get on with it for the next game, as opposed to whining about how dare little old Burnley not let you win, like an entitled little brat.

Still talking about Arsenal and not trophies.
Arsenal are currently Fa cup holders and the Charity shield.
Spurs no trophies in years. Just a bants club.......or maybe a pants club.

Spuds not exactly setting the league on fire
Why are so many non Arsenal supporters on here commenting ha. We might be a poor side this season but we still got haters
All this identity stuff had gone to far when Spurs were allowed to identify as a big successful club.
Of the Spurs team that last won the league are any of them still alive?
What a peach, or was it a plum, LOL.
No it's a different Arsenal in mid-table, the same old Arsenal are always in the top 4
That makes absolutely NO SENSE whatsoever.
Wasn't Xhakas fault as such. Stupid leno played a stupid ball to him which put him under huge pressure!!
I’ve never known a player who’s errors always cost us he is terrible I can’t even celebrate when he scores for us
I love xhaka. It’s like putting a fork in a microwave ?? coys
The article says "Xhaka's errant pass"!! It was a blind cross across his own 6 yard box to an unmarked forward. That's not errant, it's idiocy.
I hope they give Xhaka a new contract....he is so well suited to that team.........:) :)
Drove Martinez out, now driving Martinelli out. Arteta out! And take Xhaka and Willian with you.
Xhaka +VAR 1-1 Arsenal
It is unbelievable that Arsenal cannot even beat a team like Burnley!

We're arsenal this bad under Unai Emery, I really can't remember what the problem was if Arteta's arsenal is the solution?
According to Woolwich it was 'only Burnley' last weekend when Spurs beat them 4-0 ??
+ VAR + Officials who change the rules during a season...Football is rife with corruption...
Why are you calling them Woolwich, you do know that they don't use that name. Your making yourself seem a bit touched
That is right it was only Burnley!
Arsenal could have been away in first half but chose to be pedestrian in their play.
One bad one good VAR decision
Arsenal should have won but didnt deserve to

Run along and watch your dvd collection of Spurs “glory” years...will any be in colour?
If the Spurs are so great then why are those precious "Lilywhites" just barely ahead of Arsenal in the PL table?
Yes at home! And not on a god awful pitch desinged for lumping the ball long.
People love to moan about VAR when it goes wrong. But never give it credit for things like today when it denies Burnley from being robbed!
Fantastic result for Arsenal. The Spanish Alex Ferguson has got his team matching superior opposition on their turf. This is a step forward and once again proves, that as a manager, Arteta is capable of saving clubs from relegation.
MTG.
Arsenal ... never fails to disappoint on a weekend ahahahah !

Surely nobody can say this Burnley match was boring. good to see both sides trying to win it from 1-1.

Congratulations to Spurs on winning the “We beat Burnley you didn’t Cup”, is it as good as the “We beat Leicester you didn’t” Cup though, perhaps you could tell me? However, clearly the Spurs trophy cabinet is positively overflowing with many more to follow!
Sorry, could you please explain what you mean by Arsenot? Not what? not won 13 League titles, against Spurs 2, yes thats 2! I know thats hard to believe as the way spurs deluded fans go on you'd think they'd won 40 league titles, or are you talking about the 14 FA Cups, the most of any club? I'm not even an Arsenal fan but am compelled to ask what planet spurs fans live on. Pathetic & very sad!
Where's wenger when you need him eh?
A typical Arsenal performance for this season - in complete control then outrageous self-destruction. Hugely frustrating. But you’ve got to admire Burnley - they work so hard and put their bodies on the line. The Premier League would be poorer without them.
Burnley are still in the prem and won't be going away. Relax. As for Arsenal, they shouldn't be blaming Xaka. They had the entire second half but couldn't score. So it shows what a good side Burnley are.
But not without Arsenal. Apart from anything else we wouldn't need to put up with " I only want to talk about Arsenal and try to convince everyone they are a good team" keown each week.
Sums up our season in that one game. Still everyone seems to be interested in Arsenal as when they lose draw which is most weeks we have more non fans on page ha
Annoying that I've had to scroll this far down to find a sensible comment but here we are...
I'm not sure why the premier league would be poorer without them. They add little for me, and it would have to be a dire team that replaces them that couldn't add more.
How lucky can one team get?
Burnley should have conceded 5.
Really would love them to get relegated

Arsenal are the most vulnerable team in EPL. Why do they give away goals easily to their opponents? Because they push the ball in their own quarter as if kicking it will hurt it. Even from the mid field they pass the ball back to defenders and even error prone Leno. Why did Leno push the Ball to Xhaka who has made more errors than any other player in EPL in recent years?
I hope they caught the sniper that shot Lacazette.
Stoic defending by Burnley who weren't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

That was just plain embarrassing and just about sums Arsenal up. If he was in the invincible’s side Tony Adam’s or Martin Keown would have picked him up but the scruff of the neck...
Absolutely shocking decision not to give the first penalty shout for handball. Pieters' arm was intentionally out to make himself difficult to get past which bypasses the short distance rule.
The one VAR overturned was obviously not a penalty for the record.
Either way, with the mistake from Xhaka and Pepe's miss, we can only really blame the players for dropping points today.

Emery out
Arsenal still making great progress under Arteta. 10th in the league having played more than most above them. Utter rubbish
Everyone at Arsenal knows they are overachieving. The Spanish Alex Ferguson is dragging this shower out of the relegation battle. He's doing a wonderful job in reality.
I can’t work Arsenal out. The last 10 minutes they looked like world beaters, the previous 80 they were distinctly average. Someone (Arteta) needs to get them being positive for more than the last 10 minutes of a match!!!!
'Worldbeaters' lol.
Sorry, that made me laugh. I remember Fulham played well for 20mins against Spurs. I guess Kane should join them and win trophies.

Arsenal fans cried out for Wenger to be sacked. Not sure it was that wise in the cold light of day.
Must be said similar to Levy removing Poch who won nothing but played good football.

Always good to see Arsenal dropping points but against Burnley ????
Let’s not make this about the ‘penalties’ that were not given
Or Pepe’s glaring miss
Or Xhaka and Leno’s madness
Or Chamber’s impotence
For large sections of the match, we were poor, slow, ponderous and lacklustre
We were back to our rubbish best (or should that be best rubbish?)
And then we woke up in injury time..
So frustrating!!!
Anyway, MOTM Ben Mee well deserved

Arsenal fans said when spurs beat Burnley 4 nil they said it's only Burnley what now ??????????????
It's only Arsenal
Not all Arsenal fans said that and if they did they got short memories when they turned us early in the season we are average this season just gotta get in with it
Hacker Saka, whacker Laca, slacker Xhaka boom!
Is the referee going to be banned? He denies Arsenal a clear penalty and attempts to atone for it by awarding another penalty where there is none!
So you are 10th, 4pts behind Spurs and a game played extra and the ref lost the game, even though Arsenal were poor again. Gotcha. :D
Another slip up by the goonies in their battle for a top half finish. Didn't Spurs put four past Burnley last week? Xaka what a clown and that Pepe looks a real cracker.
But finishing above you pretty much every season.
Well at least we have three european trophies to your single pathetic one
That's rich coming rom you, almost every week you're clinging on to some pathetic stat to try and convince yourself Arsenal are still better than Spurs.
Spot on mate they love dishing it. Go to their forum and read what most the wums say when they play badly or lose. They should win next week, so the dvd will be out. Come back and compare yourselves when you win something! Tin potless team.
But all the sad goons were saying last week its only Burnley wait till we play them. Well we waited and guess what you bottled it. 4 points Burnley have taken off your pathetic lot this season. That's a proud record to have
Not an Arsenal or Spurs fan but that is so brilliantly funny
So if you cant take it, don't fall over yourself in your hurry to say "it was only Burnley" last week.
Wums work both ways you touchy little person.

If you are talking about Fulham last week, you are right
That was awful. I hope it does not put Fulham down
But don't forget what VAR and the handball rule did to us in Champion's League final

20 years ago we finish 2nd, 10 years ago we finish 4th, today we looking finishing midtable, another 10 years we will be playing Championship football just watch.
Arsenal has played against referees most matches this season. A clear handball was denied. There were many other examples. Yes, the coach appears naive. I don't know what he trains his players
FYI:
Arsenal finished 2nd in the PL in 2016 (that was less than 5 years ago).

Agreed. Can't believe the ref gave that as a penalty to Arsenal initially!
And for denying Arsenal a clear Penalty. Perhaps the new rules of cancelling a wrong with another wrong

A degree of truth here tbh. Arsenal have a higher net spend than. Chelsea over 5 years and perhaps less value retained. VAR is a mess but improving as refs now know that some accidental handballs cannot be avoided at close range. Teams that rely on them should remember this is not how sporting team should want win.
It is unbelievable that Arsenal cannot even beat a team like Burnley!

Another point closer to really peeing fans of every other Premier League team off. We continue to do what we have to with a very small squad who give everything for our cause. I little fortunate with the first handball, but overall Arsenal weren't all that today. We need to take our chances. VAR working correctly for once. UTC.

According to Woolwich it was 'only Burnley' last weekend when Spurs beat them 4-0 ??
We know who the real bottlers are, and have been for decades!
Comeback when you win a trophy. We’ve dropped the Woolwich, ages ago. Keep up
I enjoyed watching the game. I’ve always liked Burnley, lovely little old club who have actually won the top level title on 2 occasions. In 1921 and 1960. Good luck Clarets. As for the Arsenal, they aren’t just a sleeping giant, they’ve been comatosed since the invincible’s side of the 2003/4 season! When will Arsenal wake up? Not anytime soon me thinks ???????
They are Anti football.Negative mindset.What have they ever done in premier league since they came up??offer zero and awful to watch.
Hope they go down alongside Sheffield and Newcastle
Hope they go down alongside Sheffield and Newcastle
Perhaps he should have cost per goal and not per game. That's £16m then!!!
Better than Pogba
More than £4 million per goal!
Hope they kept the reciept.

Comedy gold from the nomads, hilarious. Burnley were superb and deserved to win.
JUST LOVE Taking Points Off Arsenal up the Clarets
Championship is where you belong, definitely your pitch does
you might only be able to do that for another season, can't see you lot in the PL for much longer.
Thats 5 points dropped v Burnley now. You'd think Arteta would have seen enough of Xhaka now to know that he can't be trusted. As soon as this club rids themselves of these sloppy players that make big mistakes in games they will never progress.
Unfortunately Arteta does not learn from his mistakes. He should go to Barcelone together with Willian (who should have retired), Xhaka (who is a liability for the club).

Just about sums up the level of ambition for you lot doesn't it?
Mind the gap...spudsy ??????
Since when?
Do it for twenty years as well as being in CL for same amount of seasons. Throw in a few PL titles & trophies & you might have a point.
Yes spurs might be doing better at the moment but not by far & you are not lighting up the league or even needing to light up your trophy cabinet!!!

Arteta is no Pep, not got the experience, squad or finance.
Worst decision ever to appoint him.
As for the players.
Willian- total waste of space
Pepe- total waste of money
Xhaka- total liability, mistakes and cards.
Luiz- past it for a while.

North London s Worst team
It’s going to be interesting watching the two of North London’s record signings go toe to toe next week .... Pepe Vs. Ndombele ... let’s see what money can buy.
Actually one of them is trying to become South Londons worst team ??
... I dont like arsenal, most expensive tickets for a game, greedy club, .. well done burnley from a foxes fan.
Hahaha slip sliding away...can we still shoot em ??
Removed
Nothing to do with last week then?
I don't like Leicester, worst ground in the League, worst City in the country and hope they crawl back down the divisions where they belong
As you would only buy an away ticket which is/was capped at £30 their ticket prices don't affect you so its pathetic to use that as a reason to dislike them.. like the cost of a pie there! And Leicester are just as bad!
Still heart broken after last week don't worry you'll bottle it just like last season
I think you'll find that Tottenham' tickets are more expensive at their new 'stadium with no name' - because, as always, Levy has asked too much for the naming rights.
I think you're still bitter from last weekend.
Away tickets are capped at £30 to help cover the cost of travel- you would know that if you went to the game, have a good day
Arsenal have the most expensive tickets? Why don't you look into that to see if its right rather than believing what you read in the tabloids or other trash media before spouting such nonsense! Once you've done so, you'll see that per game (in their tickets they inc cup games unlike any other club) their season tickets are cheaper than spurs and chelsea's. Please check it out! Then apologise.
So Arsenal can’t do to Burnley what Spurs did and we all know (even us Spurs supporters) that we’re rubbish. So what does that make Arsenal then?
Arsenal will finish in the mid tables if they were to play in Championship. It is painful being Arsenal fan since Wenger left
We've won more trophies in our worst 10 years in history, and yet it's still infinite more than you. What does that make Spurs then?
