[quote=“Rocko, post: 906498, member: 1”]Wenger had a right moan last night. I don’t really mind his nonsense complaining about the referee and the sending off - he’s completely wrong but that’s just pretty much par for the course now that a losing manager blames defeat on incompetent officials.
He also took the time to have a go at Robben over the penalty as well which is acting the prick. He got clearly caught, with the keeper’s studs, on his shins. It was as clear-cut a penalty as you could ever see and I’d say the challenge actually hurt a bit. If it happened further out the pitch, there’d be no talk of Robben overreacting. He also had a go at Neuer for diving when he was clearly caught too. I’m disappointed in Arsene and am now looking for a new English club to hate least.[/quote]
[quote=“Rocko, post: 906308, member: 1”]Agreed. And you’d have more handball on the line and all that sort of stuff - why wouldn’t everyone take a chance?
I’m also a bit taken aback by the talk tonight of Robben’s touch going away from goal and am extremely disappointed to see @Bandage joining in that line of thinking. His touch went away from goal so he could take it around the goalkeeper who was careering off his line. That doesn’t make it any less of a goalscoring opportunity. If the keeper didn’t rush out and foul him then it was a goalscoring opportunity. His touch was sideways to avoid the onrushing keeper. That didn’t make it less of a goalscoring opportunity. And taking it a level further even, if his touch had been backwards or miles away or anything you could still argue it was a goalscoring opportunity because you couldn’t divorce Robben’s touch from the keeper advancing on him and not playing the ball.[/quote]
I can’t understand why this wasn’t a free out.
Robben’s foot was high and clearly dangerous. He had both feet off the ground.
If he lifted his feet in the middle of the field like that it would be a free straight away. Why are players allowed get away with it inside in the box?

Eh no it wouldn’t be a free against him else. He jumped to cushion the ball down for himself.
Yes, Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.
this is a very bad game
Olympiakos are poor and they are w/o Javier Saviola who is there main source of goals, but by God united are awful. Watching Ferdinand is car crash stuff, he is all over the gaff there, Vidic is doing well again and is keeping them in it like Arsenal last week.
utd;s midfield is not happening at all, i think this could get worse actually for them

Can see Olympiakos win this 3-0.
