Sixty seconds of glorious footballing saw goals from Podolski (assist from Gibbs) and Giroud (assist from Podolski), but this just wasn’t enough to see off the Swans, who claimed a point when a Flamini own-goal in the last minute of regulation evened the score. Four minutes of stoppage-time didn’t leave enough for the Gunners to find a last-gasp goal, and the dropped points all but end any last hopes of clawing back to the top of the Prem. So it goes. It’s the third time we’ve followed a drubbing with a draw; here’s hoping that the pattern holds for the second match after, which has been a win each time.
Whether it was the lingering effects of the Chelsea match, or perhaps a jaded look past Swansea to Man City on Saturday or further ahead to the FA Cup semifinal, we just didn’t have it today. Pity.

Swansea were on the attack with some 30 sec left. I think the ref save Arsenal from another defeat .Don't besurprised the gunners can even lose to Wigan and can only take part in the Europa league. The sooner Wenger goes the better.Arsenal must take the risk to get another guy.
What's a bad luck. Keep your heads up and bring back a killer instinct. By gone is by gone.
It's not bad luck. Arsenal are the only team in the epl whose game is based on passing hundred times.So by the time the gunners get near the box,there is aforest of defenders.You don't even have a chance to shoot ,let alone score.Wenger is the problem and he shd asap otherwise Arsenal could get stuck in the Europa league fo many seasons.
