And that was a foul by pepe

Unfudgingbelievable

And that was a foul by pepe

In a game where the goalie can handle it outside the area, that ain't a foul.

Yup, and we’re now going to have to play in the 2nd qualifying round next month whilst as FA Cup winners they’ll go straight through to October’s group stages.

Could have been even worse, they could have been two-legged affairs. At least its only additional 3 matches to reach the Group Stage

Gives us a chance to rotate the squad and get more players up to match fitness sooner.

Beats behind closed doors friendlies.

Also means the Goons are tied up twice a week (he says, trying to find some sort of silver lining).

 

[paxtonwolf]

Down to 9 men now

So now what, we have 1 2 legged qualifier to get into the competition proper ??

If I had have been a betting man (not had a bet for 13 months) I would have done my lot on Arsenal winning this today

The referee and every main decision went Arsenal's way, the injuries to 2 key Chelsea players as well

At least it will wipe the smile of that prick Lampards face for a while

Yep, Jose will use the games properly.

3 FFS hahah, ah well will get some of our ressies up to speed

 

[Seedy Ron]

Off.

This.

As I say it could have been even worse. Could have 3 lots of 2-legged affairs starting early September

 

[markysimmo]

Can see how far the ball is out of his area, ridiculous

 

[Baleforce]

Also makes Pep Lite’s job a little more secure, like Ole at United. Both good for us.

 

[Jordinho]

At least Cheatski should get a fine for all their bookings, if not for their incompetence.

 

[SteveAWOL]

And to add insult to injury, Kovacic got a red card for this

[StephenH]

the referring was atrocious!

sack all PGMOL referees and get european based referees for the UK

 

[DeanoAustin]

Liverpool win the league. Arsenal win the FA Cup. We can't go and watch Spurs.

Carlsberg don't do seasons but if they did this one, I'd drink fudging Budweiser instead even though it's pure tinkle.
