If Arsenal lose this, I must say this would be my pick for shock result of the day !
Cos gunners at home is like almost impossible to lose to a small club by 3 goals !
9 mins + added time for Arsenal to get at least 2 back...
-
hang on!!!
-
5mins stoppage time.
2-3 now.
lols, as usual. arsenal never give up at home.
-
hope they 5mins extra time equaliser
-
The secret to defeating Arsenal at home is not to score too early.
-
Arsenal fighting hard to come back... 60 sec remain...
-
Lol... Rosicky again... That was the last chance i belief...
-
Nasri suddenly become CF
-
This time the ref stopped at exactly 5mins.
-
Well, at least Arsenal made the score more respectable rather than 0 - 3 at one stage...
-
haiz
at least we fight back 2 goals
-
arsenal was complacent in the 1st place.
-
More like... Champions League commitments in mid-week ? All CL teams resting key players....

MANUEL ALMUNIA'S latest howler helped WBA tear Arsenal's unbeaten record apart.
The Spanish keeper saved a Chris Blunt penalty but fumbled in Gonzalez Jara's effort as West Brom hit three fine goals after the break.
Peter Odemwingie tapped the Baggies in front on 50 minutes before Jara and ex-Gunner Jerome Thomas struck.
Arsenal's only inspiration, Samir Nasri, tucked home tweice after that but the visitors clung on.
Emmanuel Eboue spun to fire the first decent chance just wide on 13 minutes.
Then seconds later Arsenal teammate Andrey Arshavin managed to hit the post twice from an Eboue cross.
The Gunners, by now, were pouring forward, Marouane Chamakh heading close and went Samir Nasri whistling a 25-yard drive inches off-target.
But Peter Odemwingie began to show glimpses of his dangerous pace at the other end.
And on 27 minutes it was the burly striker whose angled drive was pushed onto the post by Almunia.
The Baggies' confidence soared as Arsenal seemed to lose imagination.
But they wasted the one glorious chance of the first half, Almunia tripping the onrushing Odemwingie but saving the resulting under-hit penalty from Chris Brunt.
West Brom keeper Scott Carson then tipped Bacary Sagna's six-yard header over.
Ex-Gunner Jerome Thomas punished Arsenal for their second-gear display, jinking to the byline for a 50th minute pull-back slide home by Odemwingie.
And just two minutes later Almunia undid his vital work before the interval with one of the goalkeeping howlers of the season.
Gonzalo Jara danced round the Arsenal defence but his long-range shot somehow squirmed in past Almunia.
And Thomas caught his old club on the break, firing into the roof of the net from seven yards.
Nasri fired a left-footer off the bar before hsi superb footwork enabled him to drill home with the same foot.
And he pounced again asthe match entered five minutes of stoppage time.

West brom deserve the 3 points. I like west brom style, they play attacking football and they keep believing in themselves.
After their 1st game where they kena wallop nicely by chelsea, they still believe in their attacking football. they were unlucky to lose to liverpool at anfield but they just keep believing in themselves.
Kudos to them. Hope to see them stay in the epl this season.

Hahaha... Now watching one angry Malaysian on mio fanzone & post-match showing his disappointment in Arsenal for not taking advantage of Chelsea droping points.
The guy is on skype scolding Almunia and blaming Wenger for not playing Wilshere...
He sounds so angry man... lol.
