Unfair on the players that got us to this position, but nice to see Wenger taking the opportunity of winning the carling seriously.

Wigan line up

M Pollitt, P Chimbonda, P Scharner, S Henchoz, L Baines, G Teale, J Bullard, G Kavanagh, A Mahon, J Roberts, N Mellor
Subs: J Filan, M Jackson, A Johansson, D Francis, R Ziegler

Should be an cracking game, and proberbly the best time to face Arsenal, just keep them contained, and if its 0 - 0 at half time, it could get very interesting indeed

Good save for the pen.

HangTime · 24 Jan 2006 at 20:21

What's this nonsense, after the Man City fiasco I thought it had been agreed that Henry was going to take all the pens now :confused:

edit: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/4368116.stm

As a result of the incident, Henry has declared "I will now take the penalties - all of the time", having previously passed had he been the player fouled.

It wasn't a bad penalty to be fair, just a good save.

PENALTY.
That was the most blatant penalty ever.
Lucky Arsenal.

Kerplunk · 24 Jan 2006 at 20:34

This referee is utter tosh.

edit, Robertsssss

Gooner14 · 24 Jan 2006 at 20:36

0-0Ht.

Pollit's made some good saves, could have been 4 penalties so far. Diaby doesn't look half bad.

Well I'd say the blatant hand ball at the other end was far more certain.

Phil Dowd is a bad bad bad referee.

Its quite possibly the single worst refereeing display in the history of terrible refereeing.

Players who should be off:

Scharner- Repeated fouling 2x dangerous tackles.
Henchoz- Deliberate hanball in the area, Obstruction in the Area, repeated fouling.
Campbell- Bringing down a player with a clear goal scoring opertunity in the box.
Senderos-Bringing down a player with a clear goal scoring opertunity in the box.

Score should be
3-1 to wigan (Taking into account Arsenals saved penalty and the other they should have had, assuming all penalties are scored)

Why is there such a lack of decent referees in England at the minute?

Blame Keith Hackett.
Blame the amount of money in the game.
Blame the Press.
Blame the complete lack of sanctions agaisnt bloody awfull referee's.

Mike Reily, Phil Dowd, Steve Bennet etc etc etc, should have been booted years ago, they dont learn, they have never played at any level, THEY DONT GET ANY BETTER.

I don't know the answer but it certainly makes football a lot more interesting.
