I note Wenger has said how we would have won the CL if VAR was allowed at the time.
I do wish he would just say nothing sometimes.

We also would have won it if Thierry Henry had sorted his fùcking feet out.Quote:

Video assisted refereeing, theory being that the goal by Eto'o would have been ruled out for offside.Quote:

If there'd been video in that United game, Mike Riley would have been charged with conspiracy to commit fraud.Quote:

Well, I agree with you there. Can't even recall the Eto'o goal :cry: Couldn't really see through the rain. Thirteen minutes though, sw, 13 minutesQuote:

:hehe: The puffed-up outrage of a Chelsea fan I joshingly spoke to about that goal a couple of days later made me very resistant to the idea that there should ever be a system whereby dodgy goals are ruled out. I know we've had our bad decisions, but when bad decisions go your way, it's very sweet.Quote:

You could spin it out further and suggest that the enforced substitution of Almunia meant Dennis never got on either.Quote:

For this reason - in addition to his acting the cünt in sundry other games and gifting Tottenham a draw in the game where we won the League at WHL - I can never get on board with all the nostalgia about 'Mad Jens'. I think the teutonic lunatic was basically a liability.Quote:

We were immense. Almunia was superb for an hour and then he did his usual thing. We would have won it if either Titi or Freddie had tucked away their chances on seventy something minutes.
Would have helped if the ref had just played an advantage of oh, say 2 seconds, rather than blowing immediately and sending Lehmann offQuote:

Hugely popular in the Clock End - always got a great reception when he did his somersaults. Had a bit of a laugh with the crowd tooQuote:

My mind was put at rest though, as I was informed with a chuckle that the condiment firm is actually a little older than the penitentiary. Phew.
