Cmon how could he hear the whistle there?!
Ah thatās soft enough. I think he heard the whistle alright and I donāt believe him for a second. Still unusual though.
Thats a joke of a red card.
harsh. to be sent off for that is shite
Ridiculous, truly ridiculous. 
Those four Brazilian attackers for Shakhtar are top class. Quality strike by Willian there on the back of the Douglas Costa effort from the first leg. This is tough to take.
While I do think it was soft I do think he heard the whistle. And he canāt have too many complaints because he had one little rake on Messi earlier that could easily have been a ywllow card too.
Rocko,
what does wenger do now,
he has no CF on the pitch?
id take off Rosiky for Bendtnerā¦
Iād bring on Chamakh, holds the ball up better than big Nik.
In fairness itās gonna be an impossible task to hold Barca off with ten men.
I think he deserved the benefit of the doubt rocko, no one can know for sure whether he did or not. To issue a second yellow there was just ridiculous. Goes without saying that is one of footballs more stupid rules anyway.
This will be a long 30 minsā¦
While he deserved a yellow for the Messi challenge, the one he actually got was pretty harsh. Arsenal can definitely feel hard done by.
I would do the same. Iād ask Fabregas and Wilshere to play everything forwards to Bendtner or Nasri and Diaby and get them breaking at Barca at pace.
Rocko in taking sides against the English team shocker. :rolleyes:
I donāt think the first card was harsh. He didnāt make much contact but he can have no complaints over that one. I do think he deserved the benefit of the doubt as MBB has suggested and a stern word would have sufficed.
The penalty decision might end up being more important anyway.
Itās rare enough itās enforced though, as far as I can remember. Donāt strikers often have a go anyway?? Ridiculous yellow card in such a big game.
Daft from Clichy there. Fucking hell.
I hope TASE, Mr Totti and Rintintin can forgive me for switching to TV for Barca-Arsenal and relegating Roma to my internet stream.
Rocko, do we have a ācryingā icon?
Barca have had some great chances here but might panic soon enough if this keeps up.
Think Pedro is less effective against defences that stay deep.
Can anybody enlighten me as to what Rosicky does exactly, not just in this game but in general since he came to England? He always looked decent in World Cups and European Championships but the injuries seem to have destroyed him.
Wenger needs to get Chamakh on for him soon or even for Fabregas who looks unfit. Almunia doesnt even have anyone to kick the ball at.
If Arsenal can hold on for another ten minutes or so the pressure is really going to be on Barca.
