Re the penalty
You see situations like the Fabregas dive v us get pens all the time, yet somehow the smalling attempted sexual assault on giroud didn't even get a second look?
Wtf.
Exactly why I hate Mike Dean.
Should have been 1-2 tbf.

The worst first half we've played in over a decade evinced by the fact we couldn't even manage a single f***ing shot. Truly pathetic. Couldn't hold on to the ball to save our lives.
Cazorla was egregious, I don't know how Wenger allowed him to come on for the second half. Completely anonymous.
Ozil was quite dire for the most part and Giroud should have found a goal from the three chances he had.
Wenger continues with his artard tactics of Ramsey on the right, he hasn't the balls to drop any of his favourites so would rather f**k up our equilibrium by forcing all our midfielders into one side.
Fluked a goal thanks to Walcott (would you look at that, an actual winger making an impact from out wide, who would've thought it?) and got the point which basically confirms we avoid a CL playoff so that's good but we bottled 2nd place.

Insipid performance overall. No intensity whatsoever and we're playing United away.
We got the equalizer in the 82nd minute, claiming we looked more likely to score from then on isn't really saying much - there were only 13 minutes to play after that point.
And obviously we were going to improve in the 2nd half considering we didn't even manage a shot in the first, as I said it was our worst half of football in over a decade. Just because we turned it up slightly after a historically shit first half doesn't mean it's anything to shout home about.

worst first half of football in over a decade is absolute nonsense by the way - being 3-0 at Stoke earlier in the season is just one example of where we were far worse. Going forward we were shit and we were the worse team but it was hardly the abomination you're making it out to be.
We were the better team for about half the game and deserved the point. I can understand the complaints about the first half because it was dire but I think you're being too harsh on the team for the most part.
