Our players on the other hand got booked one by one, I may regret saying this but somehow I believe football is corrupted from the top including almighty Barthelona!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arsenaltalk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/abidalt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1218  aligncenter\" title=\"Barcelona's French defender Eric Abidal\" src=\"http:\/\/www.arsenaltalk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/abidalt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"441\" height=\"610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arsenaltalk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/abidalt.jpg 441w, https:\/\/www.arsenaltalk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/abidalt-216x300.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 441px) 100vw, 441px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now you tell me who should of been sent off, even if Van Persie did hear the whistle for the offside (no one really looked at this because he was sent off but was it really offside?) it was a split second when he took the shot. He didn&#8217;t boot it sky high it was a controlled shot towards the goal and to me this is allowed in the modern game because it&#8217;s so quick. Don&#8217;t we forget that Chelsea was not given three blatant penalties when they played them two seasons back I believe, so it definitely looks like favouritism is well among UEFA especially when to comes to those cheats from Barthelona. We know we didn&#8217;t play well especially in the first half but that sending off changed the whole game.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m only hoping the lads will bounce up from this, a tough game awaits us on Saturday now, with a trip to rainy land of Mancunia. A win there would certainly lift those wounded spirits and I&#8217;m really proud of the lads after last night even though it was very disappointing result. We need to get behind them they certainly need us now more than ever. Gunning for two two trophies from now on, let&#8217;s hope we can bring one home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We haven&#8217;t played well enough perhaps to win the game, however I believe justice has not been done last night and FIFA &amp; UEFA should be ashamed of themselves.
