Wasn't it Koscielny?
Vintage Arsenal performance. Completely outplayed Spurs first half and could have been out of sight. But as usual they wasted so many chances and crumbled when Spurs pulled 1 back and started to take the game to them.
He may have scored a few goals but I honestly think Chamakh is ****. He broke up more Arsenal attacks than Spurs' back 4 did today.
It's really difficult to see Arsenal winning anything until they're more ruthless in attack and get some sort of backbone in defense.

+1 nailed it on the head....we literally gave the Spurs the game today...Fab was crap in the 2nd half, giving a penalty when he shouldnt have been anywhere near the wall...WTF was he thinking ****hole....Chamakh wasteful and Kos missing an easy easy header....Nasri went pretty quiet too in the 2nd half as well...putting Rosicky and Walcott on wasnt going to do FA for us and it didnt.
Arsenal forever a 3rd or 4th place team.
He shouldn't have been near the wall, do shut up, Fabregas created a dozen world class passes for Chamakh, RVP, others in the second half, he wasn't even remotely crap in the second half. I've also NEVER seen that penalty given before, maybe it was Chamakh's arm way above his head that effected the ref's idea of where the arm was, arm infront of face/chest and hits the arm, never in a million years a penalty.
Who gave away the freekick in the first place, Song, was there any need to at all, not even slightly. Sagna/Song/Denilson, giving away stupid freekicks in stupid places is what they do. Sagna gets an early yellow for a daft challenge 50 yards from goal. Ridiculous, neither of the fouls Song did leading to goals were dangerous situations, he wasn't last man back, there were full defensive lines and midfielders between the players he fouled, and the goals, they were going nowhere.
Song can't defend, he is useless going forwards, sooner he, Diaby, Sagna, Theo and Denilson are sold the sooner Arsenals squad can win things.
For any Arsenal player to call Fabregas crap today is laughable, he created every chance we had, Chamakh was truly abysmal today, put through on goal a half dozen times by Fabregas and he turned away/refused to shoot each time. Nasri refused to take responsibility for anything, he wouldn't cross a ball in when he had the chance, but pass back to Fabregas and run into the box, these days he has no interest in creating goals, just scoring, he's become very selfish and its overall hurting the team rather than helping.

Nope, Song, Modric/kos were running alongside each other basically, Song came in at stupid angle with no chance at the ball and took the player, Song yet again, as always, gives away ridiculous freekicks in insanely dangerous positions, its ALL he ever does.

Doesn't really matter what a log says, its not official, the ref spoke to Song, Song complained about it not being a freekick, it was Song who made FAR more contact than Kos and Song who came in from behind Modric while Modric was running towards Kos.

Indeed, some of his bookings and whatnot have been debatable, but fact is he has a lot of Senderos about him. Seemingly makes mistakes that are costly either to the side or at least his disciplinary record.
Not the second goal, the third one. Bale was about to storm down the right-hand side and Koscielny went straight through him to stop the break, and got a yellow for it.

Song could've been at home having a bath and he would still get the blame

It was Chamakh's arm, not Fabregas'.

And he'd find a way of bringing Gerrard into it too
I can kind of understand it, actually. Bale would have been clean through had he not done that, and our gameplan had been to foul him out of it, for the most part.
