Arsene gets a free pass because the owners aren't really involved and are content to be a club that makes the CL, if he ever missed that then I think he would come under some pressure. Liverpool are expected to compete for the title with Utd and Spartak London. Its all about expectations really, for the past 3-4 years Arsenal have been pretty much a selling club (Henry, Adebayor, Toure etc.) that competing for the league is a bonus not a requirement.
Liverpool deserved 2 more pks against Spurs? in the opener? don't know about that. And the pk that reading got was the right call
I do think Liverpool win wednesday, Spurs never win these important games that they are supposed too (and with no Yossi, Torres or Gerrard Spurs are superior on the pitch by a fair margin).
