Graham Souness: "If he deems this is not a sending off he shouldnt be refereeing football matches let alone World Cup Finals."

[Barnet Flame]

Souness is right.

Pretty sickening that and even moreso that he got the winner.

Henderson and Downing have done essentially F-all so far to justify Kenny acquiring them. Adam hasn't been much better. Sort it out gentlemen.

Whoops my bad, but hey, who doesn't have Craig Adams on the brain sometimes?

Pathetic display today. Bolton? Really?? 3-1 loss against bloody Bolton!?

This team is really missing Suarez. Stupid idiot and his racist leanings. Talented MFer though.

F me. No CL next season again for LFC, it appears. Brutal.

[d_phaneuf]

not often can a sub cost you two points but this one certainly did

[Barnet Flame]

Wenger with the most ridiculous and therefore utterly predictable substitution in the history of football costs us the game.

Even RvP was shouting 'no'!

[cheevers]

Wenger has turned into an incompetent old man and should be fired immediately. His refusal to buy wingbacks cost them the first goal and his idiotic sub cost Arsenal the second goal. The guy has completely lost it. Tottenham, Man city/united all have far superior managers and that's why they are ahead of them.

[d_phaneuf]

the look of RVP yelling "No" might be better than Gerrards a few years ago when Torres got subbed

[Barnet Flame]

The boos that greeted that substitution were as unprecedented as they were deserved.

[d_phaneuf]

"I can understand that the fans are upset about the substitution, especially when it doesn't work, but he (Oxlade-Chamberlain) had started to fatigue," Wenger said.

"He was sick in the week. Arshavin is captain of the Russia national team.

"You have an 18-year-old kid making his first Premier League start and a player who's captain of his country and they are querying the substitution? Let's be serious.

"I've been a manager for 30 years and have made 50,000 substitutions. I do not have to justify every decision I make to you (the Press). I stand up for it."

that's 30 a week, the league might want to have a look at that...

[Winsor_Pilates]

The arrogance of his comments just put it over the top for me. What a stupid substitution and a manager who doesn't care what anyone thinks.

It seems he just does things he shouldn't, or doesn't do things he should, just to stick it to everyone and do it his way regardless of the outcome.

Wenger has been expired for a couple years now, this is just getting stupid.

Holy crap, that's really brutal. He is one serious nutjob.

Howarb Webb I used to actually believe was a biased ref. Now, I just think he's pathetically incompetent.

The F.A. surely has to suspend him for a long time for this blatant assault. Then again, this is the F.A. we're talking about so you never know.

Yeah I know. Always have a problem with that one for some reason.

To keep your sanity I've edited my original post. You're welcome

Webb didn't see it. There was a longer video on youtube yesterday (it isn't there any longer as the PL took it down ...) where you could see Webb following the ball, not Balotelli. Clear red card if he sees it (although even that is in question as Webb is such a bad ref). The assistant should have seen it though. I hope the FA takes out Balotelli for some time because of that. He's such a gifted footballer, but that guy is obviously as intelligent as a bag of pucks. Seeing him getting the penalty and scoring the decisive goal then was just sickening.

Glad we (yeah - I'm a lifelong United supporter ) won to Arsenal yesterday although it was a really close game. Arsenal did a heck of a job for most part of the game, but Wenger killed it with the Arshavin sub. The Djourou sub at halftime was good for them though because Nani was constantly making a fool out of Djourou. Like the Oxlade-Chamberlain kid though, it seems the Gunners have found themselves a really promising player. Van Persie with a great goal once again, but he was really kind to us when he missed that chance after Smalling slipped and gave the ball away.

Happy with the way Valencia plays at the moment, he is a beast right now. Makes the injury to Young easier to cope with, however losing Nani and Jones was brutal. Carrick and Rooney also limping after the game. The injuries are just crazy this season and I fear it will cost us at some point. Playing a guy like Evans on a regular basis can't be good.

As much as I’m seething about his reluctance to get rid of the deadwood, I cannot really fault Wegner with regards to the fullback situation. Unless we are willing to get rid of or part ways with one of our four injured fullbacks, the club cannot bring in another. A loan is not really an option, would you seriously want Wayne Bridge?

I dont think it'll look too good having 'Arry be the manager for England after hes being tried for snatching Her Majesty's purse.
