and that cunt neuer kicking sanogo in his follow through (which is fine) but going down as if sanogo kicked him and got him booked. ref was appalling and did deny us a chance but we did well. didn't expect a win, we all want the league or fa cup so gutted but as you say not to downbeat. this side beat barca 7-0 last season, europes best and we did well. if the ref got all the big calls right, then who knows but he did deny us a chance
On the sending off's/non sending off's I don't agree. Chesney took him out, Robben's touch was brilliant and he would have scored IMO, the rules say that's red.

Would need to look at Boateng, but noone has complained about that, not even Wenger in his interview.

Wenger said we made big mistakes, we had the chances to be well ahead and missed them, the penalty was a big blow and the sending off killed us.

Great effort by us but in the end I think we just missed our chances when they were there, sh*t happens as I said didn't expect us to go through.
