Jack Wilshere charged by FA

Jack Wilshere have been charged by FA over an offensive gesture in our last outing against Man City.

The incident was not seen by match officials at the time,
though video evidence shows that he raised his middle finger at the home supporters.

A statement on the FA's official website reads:
"Wilshere
has been charged retrospectively by The FA under a new
pilot project for potential ‘not seen’ incidents in Premier
League matches.

"Under the new process, if an incident has not been seen
by the match officials, a three-man panel will be asked
by The FA to review it and advise what, if any action,
they believe the match referee should have taken had it
been witnessed at the time.

"For an FA charge to follow, all three panel members
must agree it is a sending-off offence. In this instance,
the panel were unanimous."

He has until 18.00GMT on December 18 to respond
to the charge before facing a possible ban, which will
include the home game with our title rivals
Chelsea on December 23.

Big blow - Laurent Koscielny suffers knee laceration

What a big blow for us. It makes me to wonder had koscielny full 90' min would we conceive that number of goals.

6:3 what an open game according to Mr. Wenger.

" It was a difficult game. We had the best defence in the Premier League and we
conceded many goals today. Honestly, we could have scored at least six as
well. It was for me a very open game but on our front I think we made too
many mistakes. Our strengths until now was our defensive discipline and that
went as the game went on. In the second half the regret I have is at 2-1 we
make it 3-1, after we come back to 3-2 we make it 4-2 and always through
easy mistakes. We were in a position where we could see the legs were tired a
little bit and we had to run after the score. You have always more chances to
lose more than to comeback because we had tired legs. In the end it was 6-3
but hurts me more is that we had an opportunity to put Man City at nine points
and they are three tonight. That is very difficult to swallow because it's a team
that was not unbeatable today [Man City]."

Laurent Koscielny was stretchered off with a "deep laceration" to his knee. The Frenchman suffered the injury in a challenge with Alvaro Negredo in the 39th minute, but it ended unsuccessfully for the

Gunners as the striker put Manuel Pellegrini's side 2-1 ahead.

Let's hope he comes back soon.
