Just back from vacation so catching all the highlites now, so not trying to bring up bad memories.

I just have to say that the Van Persie sending off was one of the worst I've ever seen. Shocking decision considering the circumstances. You can argue that by the book it's a yellow (questionable IMO), but tie game with over 1/2 hour to play? Give me a break! Maybe if Arsenal were up 1 with under 10 minutes to go, I could see it, but not in that situation. Terrible sending off.
