Did anyone think the decision to take off Fabregas for Flamini was really bad? I did at the time as Fabregas was the only one trying to take the pressure off and after that we didn't keep the ball at all and they scored 3 minutes later.
I also thought Cole was really off the pace today right from the start.
Yea i was a bit bemused with it to begin with, but it made sense. Cesc was very tired and in the engine room you need legs. Flamini is a defensive midfielder, and a decent one at that.
Cole looked good, few weeks with England and he'll be ready for the World Cup.

Yeah but there was about 30 seconds when Larsson blocked Almunia and the **** ref stopped our break to book him and didn't add any time on. Great.

Great interview on sky with Henry he spoke a lot of sence for a guy who had just lost a huge game.
The way he'd spoke you'd think he wouldnt go on holiday to Barcelona let alone play there! So who knows.

I didnt say it was my view did I. But the list of clubs and big games he doesnt score in are longer than the ones he has. Real madrid are hardly a defensive stronghold or even a great team anymore. They are a team of ego's.
I'm interested to see if Henry can cut it in the world cup this time, because on the other big occasions he's been nowhere.

What this isnt Ice hockey, the clock isnt stopped. Extra time is from 90 minutes regardless of when the board is held up. So if the lines man shows the board at 89 minutes for 3 minutes extra time, would you be happy if he blew on 92 minutes????

G-MAN2004 said:No, he's saying that the linesman held the 3 minute board up after a minute had already gone...i think
...yes...but it's 3 minutes added to the 90 so even if he'd held it up on 92, they'd still have only played for 1 more minute!

Anyways regardless im proud of Arsenal, they did well...yeh the ref was terrible but cant say Arsenal didnt have their fair chances at goal. Henry must rueing those 3 missed shots, but thats the way the cookie crumbled.
I really do hope Henry stays at Arsenal and gets us to the final next yr, hopefully against Barca so we can put right what went wrong.
/me salutes Arsenal on a brilliant Euro Champ campaign, they really did do well until tonight...well until Barca were gifted that first goal.
Theres no reason why Arsenal should hang their heads in shame, they did superb tonight even with 10 men.

Henry was right there, that ref was on their side, no chance 10 against 12.
Hang on Hang on!
The Referee wasnt THAT bad.
Eboue, two footed studs up tackle on Ronadinho? on the edge of the box, automatic yellow card?
2x yellow equals red?
Some very good tackles by both sides being called as fouls and they shoudnt.
Arsenal were gifted the chance to score by "terrible" refereeing.
The best team won, its as simple as that, Arsenal should have perhaps concentrated more on playing than wasting time, they might of got a couple more goals.

Spot on even though the ref was bad in his own right, Alumnia is a liability and really should have saved both goals though. If Lehmann was there then we would have probably won tbh.
