Just give your red membership number.

I began in 2006 I think so you should be close to silver now.

Thanks, got a reply from them already. Seems I'm at position 309. They can't tell me exactly when I'll be offered silver membership but surely next season?

Ya they reply back straight away.

Next season for you, I have another two or three I'd say.

Anyone know how much it usually goes down each season?

13714 in the queue for silver membership.

How much longer

I was a red member since day one and i was upgraded to silver for the current season. About 3 seasons ago I was told I was in the 3000's

Could be worse I suppose but given all the hype about our so called British stars both Ramsey and Walcott have been absolute muck so far. Ramsey gives the ball away for sport against the big teams.
Ref is a total dope though. No surprise there

Call Me Jimmy

I must be the only one thinking arsenal aren't doing too bad. Lucky not to have conceded but it's not like they're playing **** imo.

I think second half will be a lot better from Arsenal.

.jacksparrow.

Our captain situation is ridiculous

Soups123

Another **** performance against a top 4 team, we just can't get up for these games.

Giroud is fine for a top 4 push but not good enough for any more, link up play fine but forwards need to take chances and he misses too many.

Wenger annoyed me tonight long season, small squad, not one player really performing yet no subs.

Still joint top yet it feels ****, Merry Christmas

.jacksparrow.

Mehhh that's all.

dvemail

Mourinho is anti-football.

tayto lover

Very poor performance.
Tiredness had little to do with it.
We are just not good enough.
Fighting for Top 4 at the end of the season again i'd reckon.

.jacksparrow.

Why were our fans booing

Looper007

1 shot at goal at home!!! shocking stuff

It's clear we need a world class striker, god bless Giroud but you can't pass up those chances. We are too predictable sadly and Chelsea, City, Utd and Everton played us well. We don't have an plan B.

our midfield was useless. It feels like a defeat more then a point gained.

Mickeroo

****e match, don't think we were that bad though Chelsea played for a draw and mourinho's is teams are very good al that. Was the united match all over again. Win our next two matches we'll most likely be top again unless Liverpool beat City and Chelsea.

It was a poor performance, no effort or desire to go out and win the game.

TimeToShine

Did Mike Dean actually lose his cards for the first half? Very poor refereeing that favoured Chelsea's "break them up" style of play.

I could complain but we came out with a draw which isn't too bad considering that we had 0 shots on target in the first half.

Edit: 0 shots overall actually.

dvemail

Game was there to be won, but once again we are devoid of ideas against a big team. Brutal stuff.

emergingstar

Will take that draw

No back to been consistent against the lower teams and we will be fine

You're just a barrel of optimism..

We didn't play great but i'll take the point none the less.
I'd hope Wenger will see that we need another Striker.

Joint top of the league, our fans are pathetic let's be honest.

Not for me - I've seen too much of Mourinho coming to the Emirates and letting us play the better football and taking the 3 points for himself.

I think the big matches have shown that sadly. We get away with it agaisn't the Fulham's and Hull's of this world. One shot at goal at home is disgraceful.

We got 2 points out of 9 and two of those games at home and you're happy with that?

Shocking display from the home team tonight. No chance of winning the EPL with that form in my opinion. Displays like that are just not good enough.

dvemail

Anyways, should be looking to win our next two games. Get back on track.

emergingstar

Two cleared off the line

They should have gda a player sent off

We should have had a pen

.jacksparrow.

Really need a top striker.

I meant 0 shots overall in the first half, as in not a single attempt on goal of any form.

When that Ramsey chip fell to Giroud I just knew he couldn't finish it. It's the kind of thing that if it were to fall to Suarez or RVP I'd be out of my seat but just the way Giroud approached it indicated that it was never going in.

I've seen it all before.
We are not putting together title winning performances.
Optimism or pessimism has nothing to do with it.
It's what happens on the field that counts.

I'm disappointed we didn't try to win the game as it was at home. A lot of passing it back to the defence rather then looking forward. I'm disappointed with the lack of effort at home agaisn't Everton and now Chelsea.

Your turning into some moaner lately

Do you honestly think this team is good enough to win the league?

We were the width of the post from beating Everton
And they should have had a man off and we should have had a pen tonight

It's little things it's what makes this league so good

There a lot of stretching positive in that, I didn't see a red card challenge, two yellow, lampard hit post too!

Poor display

We need Podolski again. He has that clinical finishing that we've been missing the last few months.

Mourinho came for the draw, he played a boring game

Lads think we should be bossing and dominating every game

Never gonna happen swings and roundabouts

Embarrassing.

gandalf

Didn't see the match but happy with a draw against Chelsea. It is obvious that we do need to invest in a option 2 in the striker area, let's hope this helps to make up Wengers mind.

Alfred Borden

Disgraceful display and deserved no better, hopefully can get 4 points out of next two games and be top at new years. shocking by wenger tonight, not making one change.

I don't.

Ah in fairness we knew Mou would set his side up to frustrate and go for the draw. He's smart to do it. Disappointed but we win the next two and it's all OK

Chelsea weren't that great either, apart from Lampard and Willian chances. They were for the taking, you think City or even Liverpool wouldn't have gone for the win at home the way Chelsea were playing.

From tonight it's clear we need a World Class Striker, that's not knocking Giroud before his fan's jump on my back.

I'd take that looking at this game in isolation but we consistently can't step up for these games, beating Chelsea at home is not a huge ask, City away was

Our season will be defined about how we do against the lesser teams

Yet Chelsea got their point at the Emirates.
We got nothing at City or United.

Giroux will get one good chance without a doubt, hope he finishes it.


I know it wad obvious but still.

dvemail

Right, just think about this.
How sh*te has we been playing for the majority of this season?
And now we currently sit 2nd in the league on goal difference.

Pundits keep talking about when City and Chelsea find their form they will run away from everybody else. No reason why we can't do the same.

It feels like a defeat the way we are going on about it.
I think it's the lack of effort we put into the match that hurt. after been whipped by City you'd expect them to go out to prove it was a one off bad game. But they failed in trying to prove we are league winning team.
