Thats daft, 2 moments don't define a match. How did Henry get a yellow card when he was the one being kicked?

How did Oleguer get a yellow when he won the ball?

The ref was bad, but he was equally bad.

Chelsea, you win the title. Liverpool, you go home with the FA Cup.

Man United, you leave with the League Cup.

Arsenal, you leave with nothing :D

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Because he commit a foul at the same time. Henry won the ball without touching the player, got kicked, and got a yellow.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Please I can't believe you just compared the the league cup with a Champions League final

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

No he didn't, he won the ball first. ALso if you check my other posts I said Henry did not deserve his yellow.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

No he didn't, and i never said you thought he deserved it, i was just pointing out that 2 moments don't define a match. Barcelona commit more fouls that wern't blown up for, anyone could see that, hence everybody said the same thing.

I'm not an Arsenal supporter, i live miles away from there, but someone as a supporter of English sides is getting hacked off with foriegn refs who don't know the game of football. Apparently diving is ok and not cheating. Arsenal dived once (blatantly), i saw 10 Barcelona players dive tonight. If you are from Spain or Italy diving is OK, it's a part of football. I think Henry is right tonight, he needs to learn to dive more.

Bah, anyway, i'm off to bed, roll on the World Cup, however i fully expect us to have more fouls given against us than most other teams.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I'm sorry? What did Arsenal win this season?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

He's right. Fergie would swap the league cup for a place in the champions league final every time.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Perhaps. But the Old Trafford trophy cabinet will have a new addition this season.

Arsenal's? Nope.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

And English football of course - Owen V Argentina, Gerrard V Ac Milian, Rooney V Arsenal........

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Not sure that matters really, look at the bank balances. Fergie would rather have Arsenals season.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

And lose out on automatic entry in the Champions League? You sure about that?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Positive.

Fergie would love the money Arsenal have generated from this run to spend on players. I think thats the bummer point from Fergie's side. I hope for Fergie they will dig deap, cos it would be nice for them to get a couple of centre mids, i think a couple of decent ones and Man U can really challenge Chelsea again (some may laugh). I love the transfer chat that ensues regardless.

Don't forget, if Abramovich hadn't bailed Chelsea out, we'd have won the title this year.

No way. We finished higher than Arsenal, we actually won a trophy, all in all our season was successful. I can't see SAF being unhappy with that.
