Xavi could keep a beachball off a group of guys in a phonebox. You give him the ball, he keeps it and then he passes it to a team mate. He completed over 100 passes tonight - the ultimate continuity midfielder, every successful side in history has had one.

People keep saying Xavi is nearing retirement age, but he doesn't need pace or huge amounts of stamina to do what he does. As long as he doesn't go blind, or lose a leg, he can continue on for years to come. Just like Pirlo.

Shocking stuff. Ref should consider himself extremely lucky if he ever referees a match again, AMAZED the league of black lawyers havent picked up on it as its an unbelievably racist thing to do IMO. Would not have sent off the wrong white guy in the situation. Sounds like we are appealing for both suspensions to be rescinded as not a goalscoring opporutnity and also the Rafael precedent. Still, didnt take awya from how utterly pants we were. Worst thing was seeing the classless Mourinho fucking off with about 5m to go, abhorrent cunt.

Soooo glad I went and sought out a ticket before kick off Worst £56 I ever spent

Time to batter Swansea then take the points off City at the weekend...

This is an instance where I'd agree tbh. To an extent. If there were two similar looking white players, it would be entirely possible to get it wrong.
It has done a good job of masking the fact that Arsenal once again fell short against big rivals. They were absolutely rotten before the sending off.

I think we actually deserve credit for our performance, and how despite Arsenal being poor, we also made them poor.

So Oxlade has got away with it? He would deserve a yellow card I assume?

you deserve credit for th opening 7 mins, after that you cna stop being so selfish

tricky one wrt Ox IMO... not a red by the letter of the law (to do with actually stopping a goal) BUT Ox clearly thought it was a goalscoring opportunity otherwise he wouldnt have done it

Tbh it should still be a ban? If the ref sends someone off for what he deems a goal scoring opportunity, would the FA rescind it if they disagreed? Ox and whoever spotted it obviously thought it was going in.
Btw, what the fuck was he thinking? Last minute, level or winning - yes. 2-0 down with over 70 mins to play? No.

As I say, tricky one... not a red by the letter of the law as it wasnt going in but clearly AOC thought it was otherwise he wouldnt have done it. dont think the fa would normally have rescinded it but think they just wanted to move on quickly from the incident

this pisses me off as youre legally correct but it wasnt denying a galscoring oppotunity (clearly subjective but thats modern reffing!) thereofre should just be a yellow for unsportsmanlike behaviour

that said, i hate all the rules regardign pens as theyre a joke. A pen shoudl ONLY be given (IMO) when it denies a clear goalscoring opportunity... why shoudl a foul literally just inside the box where the player is goign out of the box or where the player doesnt have the ball under control and its going out of touch (like the rooney 50th game unbeaten pen ) be deemed to be so severe that a one on one spot kick is justfied?! should be given as a (direct though makes little odds due to proximity) free kicks in the area. Also for me, there can be contact in the box which is not deemed a penalty, esp if the player then throws himself to the gorund (aka Suarez and Rooney 99% of the time ). Rafael's handball also wouldnt be a penalty for me, just a free kick a few yards out and a yellow for unsportsmanlike.

ALSO, GK should never be sent off when inside his own box (barring violent conduct/intent to harm) as hes not the last defender and hes not denying a goalscoring opportunity as they get a spot kick instead. That said, i realise we'd see a LOT more penalties if this were the case

I can't help but feel if Arsenal won against Chelsea 6-0 you'd be waxing lyrical.

I, am not, but I still think we need a little bit of credit for the result and the performance. We still did the damage, irrespective of the sending off.

been on the end of enough thrashings to be relatively modest about it!
