I am a sportsfan first and I accept it when any team I support or play in loses. What I cannot accept is when it is engineered so that any team, whether I support them or not loses. I felt similar outrage when Chelsea got screwed over by officials against Barca a few years back.
I'm not disputing Arsenal were outplayed by a better team, but neither should anyone dispute that no matter what the pattern of play was, 11 against 11, before that BS call, Arsenal were ahead and near FT, Niklas Bendtner should have been watching Van Persie bury the chance he missed.
The best team is through, but it should not have been on the basis of a competition between the teams, not the decision of the referee.
