Looking at the post-match analysis I've decided it's a pen lol. Very tough game against Everton coming up...

Great result for Brentford in the end, 2-1 down with what 10 mins to go and finish the game 3-2, though all the main opposition all won their games as well, didn't drop the points, keeps the pressure on, still down to Brentford's performances if they go up or not at the moment.
Walcott was clear as day offside, as someone said we bought the linesman, or he has a friend with a bet on. dodgy as hell corner, dodgy as hell penalty, destroyed Norwich mentally, then another goal to finish them off that was dodgy.
Also Sagna should have been sent off, his "I'm faking an injury to avoid another yellow card" bs. he jumped in late, high studded a guy in the knee and then went down, worked though. Again though its that same linesman that should have told the ref, its easily a second yellow and not far from a straight red.
3rd, 4th, or 10th has nothing to do with why Wenger should be fired. We haven't improved once in 7-8 years, the wage bill has well over doubled(going to be likely 250% by the end of this season) since we last won anything while the team has gone backwards at each step. We put in an insipid performance again and got bailed out by bad decisions, again, that isn't anything to be proud of, Norwich are completely awful, and yet deserved to win today... that we got points is irrelevant, that we might finish top four is irrelevant. Wenger has put together a circa 160mil a year in wages squad that failed to outperform a team like Norwich, and can't get close to winning a cup.
Every year we keep Wenger is a years worth of worse squad, higher spending, more crap on the wage bill the next manager will have to deal with. That is why he should be fired. A manager who takes the team backwards every year for 8 years should be gone(after 3 seasons for any other team in the world). The fact the league is getting significantly worse quality and other teams are going backwards as well doesn't change how bad we are becoming.
Wenger should keep his job because LIverpool got worse to a larger degree than we did, does that sound logical to you, me neither.

Thought that at first but it was McCarthy.

Norwich get screwed over by the ref. Same story, different day.
A point (or 3) would have been massive for us and would have hopefully pulled us out of the relegation scrap.

I don't fancy us getting anything from St James on the last day of the season either
Not sure my heart can take moments like that. 2-1 down with all the teams around us winning. 2 goals in 80 seconds to win it
also practically relegated Portsmouth at the same time. Now got 2 of the top 4 teams to play in our final 3 games...Phewwww again struggled to make any decent chances today, had to rely on a penalty which I thought was pretty soft and an OG by Bassong to overcome Norwich :/.
Thank god we have Podolski as when he came on, we looked more likely to score and as usual Gervinho the **** messes up 2 good chances...again why Wenger persists with him over Podolski is truly beyond me.
But 3pts bagged and now we got Everton on Tues which again we must win to give us a gap over Spurs.

errm, I only just thought to check the maths, todays result means Brentford can't finish lower than 6th now, so its definitely play offs if not automatic? Awesome, had we lost and Walsall/Tranmere won it wouldn't be sure yet, even more important win than I thought
Only bad thing is Hartlepool winning though, ish, don't want to see them go down, nor put a team down, but they also have more of a reason to win now.
Mackems are coming so bolt your door
Hide all your jewelry under the floor
Zip up your pockets and hold on to your stuff tight
From a bus full of thieves from the stadium of *****
Shell suits are fashion down Sunderland way
With brighthouse your saviour with five years to pay
They wash in the Wear and struggle to cope
And don't understand the reason for soap
I love the rubbish that gets tossed around come derby day
Already really nervous and dreading it as I hate derby days, plenty of beer though and should be all right
