It reminded me of Fabianksi rolling the ball to the ref for that quick free kick we conceeded in Europe, which I alluded to in the article. At the time Fabianski was slated, but now Gomes appears to be portrayed as the victim.

Morning All…
So there we have it, it’s true, it was crazy, but as Kieran said – it was the letter of the law – the referee thought it wasn’t a penalty and didn’t see the handball and didn’t give the freekick. Gomes picks up the ball and really should kick it – by throwing it on the floor, that wasn’t because he thought it was a goal kick – it was because he wanted to get greater distance on the ball. He looked to his right and saw a Man United player retreating – and probably forgot that Nani was behind him – because as soon as Nani was in front of him, he panicked, knowing he had made the mistake. It was Gomes fault – very plain & simple. I was listening to 606 on my drive out yesterday and the ref has got a lot of bad press, but Gomes seems to be the victim in all this. How silly. If the ref / linesman had seen the handball, it may have been called back – but at the end of the day, they didn’t…!!

Dev – I think the comments posted by Trevor have been stolen from this blog, http://wrighty7.blogspot.com/ I doubt the blogger will be happy. I assume they’ve been stolen anyway and the person who commented didn’t provide a link back to the blog.

@ trevor:
We played West Ham on Saturday, not today. I don’t think anyone has knocked Arsenal for scoring late against West Ham – the press have been universal in their praise of West Ham’s resilience and their keeper – I haven’t read a single person moaning or groaning about the result, considering we’ve scored 8 in three games, I don’t think they’d have any grounds to.

I have no doubt we will hear a lot of moaning and groaning about us ‘only’ beating rock-bottom West Ham 1-0 today but truthfully I couldn’t give a shit.

A lot of people were expecting a cricket-score but football doesn’t always go as expected.

Personally I think Robert Green deserves a gee-up for his performance.

Once again he was outstanding against Arsenal. I’ve never really rated Green but for some reason he seems to turn into a brick-wall whenever he plays us.

I think he might hate Arsenal or something.

If Chelsea won 1-0 with a late goal then they are resilient and its a reason that they are champions.

We win 1-0 with a late goal and we are lucky.

See the difference?

Who cares that it was a late winner? Who cares that we didn’t win by four?

At the end of the day, its three points on the board and another win.

I’m starting to feel really confident in Arsenal again. In the days when Thierry, Patrick and co were in the side I was confident that we would overcome any hurdle.

Be it playing against side intent on putting everyone behind the ball or being 2-0 down, I’d still have the belief that Arsenal would come through.

We have been too soft for too long and finally we are becoming strong again.

For the last few years watching Sky Sports News during game time could be torture. Hearing a ‘goal in the Arsenal game’ made me nervous. Who scored us or them?

Now I’m confident when Jeff Stelling utters those words WE have scored. Like I used to be.

Grinding out results is what champions do. We cannot win by hammerings every week. Even if the opposition are bottom of the table.

A win is a win and I will take that every time.
