For all their Champions League struggles, Arsenal have been uncharacteristically solid in the Premier League so far this season.
But as soon as talk of a legitimate title challenge came to the fore, the old Arsenal have made a return.
The Gunners were cruising at 1-0 up against West Bromwich Albion, only to allow Tony Pulis’ men to turn the game on its head before half-time.
First James Morrison got on the scoresheet, turning in a Chris Brunt free-kick.
Pulis team score set piece against Arsenal. I am shocked.

Before Mikel Arteta’s own goal gave the hosts a half-time lead.
so, Arteta came on (wrongly) to drag his sorry corpse ass round the pitch for 20 mins just to put us a goal down and go off inj as per.

Arsenal missed a golden chance to equalise after the break, only for Santi Cazorla to miss the target from the penalty spot.
Santi has no confidence right now.

And if that all wasn’t enough, Arsene Wenger’s side lost Arteta and Francis Coquelin to injuries.

So, just more of the same then for Arsenal…
Typical arsenal. Just when they make you believe they can challenge for the title, they remind us…..

Typical @Arsenal. Dropping points when you have the chance to go top. That penalty miss by Santi was ridiculous. Get your act together
