We need a new [keeper], I don't care if signing one would "destroy [whoever we already have]...
Anybody watching on ITV's stream? Can you hear somebody else's phone call?

I can understand diving when you're past a player and diving when you're alongside them but diving when you're behind them? Some of these Porto players are full of tricks

Porto lucky to have a goal due to Fabianski's ineptness in giving them a goal lol...nice to see Campbell back and scoring a goal but honestly doesnt bode well for Arsenal if you have to rely on your defenders to score a goal
...but at least we are level so thats the main thing.
Porto being quite physical and roughing up Fabregas quite a few times...think its only a matter of time before one of them gets sent off and rightly so.
All in all not a bad first half...we are still utterly useless in front of goal...But as long as we walk away with a draw im happy with that....as the return leg is at Emirates so hopefully our injured players ie Song, Gallas and Arshavin will be back in time.

Fabianski is dire, even Mannone is better, no wait, even ALMUNIA is better.
Sol Campbell had a crap start but has been a little bit better, still getting outdone by Porto's pace, Rosicky has looked good, Nasri has looked good, Fabregas has looked 'okay'. Bendtner has been alright, showing off a few skills but not really having a good final ball and Diaby has been alright as well.
What's annoyed me first half is Fabianski's complete howler and Porto's dirty tactics. They keep going down incredibly easily, most of the time the player gets up flailing around in protest, gesturing for cards to be given out, diving theatrically... It's disgusting. Fabregas has been fouled 5 times now, sort it out for ****s sake, Porto said they were going to keep Fabregas under wraps, obviously by kicking him off the park.
Also, ITV's coverage is absolutely ****. The commentary could be done better by two blokes in a ****ing bedroom.
Oh yeah, and instead of watching Sol Campbell's tackle a few more times, lets instead see Hulk miss from 30 yards about 5 times from various angles...

ESPN has Porto on 7 fouls compared to Arsenal's 5, that doesn't seem that bad

Yeah but if you've been watching the game you'll see Arsenal's have been like, a trailing leg or something where Porto have made the most of it. Arsenal's players, particularly Fabregas are just being clattered.
