Barcelona v Arsenal - video highlights and some thoughts

I'm still gutted about last night's match. If you have the stomach for it, you can view the highlights above.

Technically, the referee was probably right to send off van Persie, but really he needs to show some common sense. The fact that two different Barca players grabbed two different Arsenal players around the throat prior to this with no action being taken against them (van Persie being one of the Arsenal players involved) puts things into perspective.

Now, to add insult to injury, Arsene Wenger and Samir Nasri have been charged with improper conduct after making remarks to the referee. Although this comes as no surprise, it does seem that it's okay for referees to be incompetent but not okay for players or managers to voice their opinions on this. Frankly, I'm surprised that van Persie didn't get charged as well after calling the referee a joke on live TV. Perhaps UEFA just haven't got around to it yet?

I have heard plenty of people (including the pundits on Sky) saying that Barca were the better team and therefore deserved to win, but the truth is that they barely had a shot at goal before van Persie got sent off.

How many times have Arsenal been the better team but failed to win due to a combination of bad luck, bad refereeing decisions, good defending and good keeping? What have the pundits' reactions been to this? They've said that Arsenal play pretty football but lack backbone. Total hypocrisy!

Anyway, we have to make sure we regroup now and try to get something out of the FA Cup match against ManUre and then go on and win the league. It won't be easy though, especially if Szczesny is injured long term.

Arsenal v Wolves - match highlights video

After the stresses of last weekend's match against Newcastle this was a straightforward 2-0 romp against a Wolves team who beat ManUre on the same day that we struggled to beat the Georgies.

Van Persie bagged a couple, the second of which (3 mins. 40 into the video) was a beautiful passing move like something off FIFA 11. Ping, ping ping - ping, ping, ping - ping, ping - goal. Amazing!

Enjoy!

Arsenal v Everton - match highlights video

Despite one of the worst decision of the season (or possibly any season) by the referee's assistant last night, Arsenal battled back for an important win. These male linesmen clearly don't know the rules.
