Kim Jong-il. Already seen that one before. I think Calum posted it IIRC :D
 
It was worth Szczesny getting a yellow just to get Cole like that. Also loved Theo dominating him all game.

Also - did anyone else see Szczesny after Chelsea's offside goal? Was absolutely giving it to the Chelsea fans.

surprising he stayed. it could have been a straight red for him on that 'fake' tackle on cashly

Comes hand in hand with keepers being beaten at their near post.

Some have even tried blaming him for the 5th, there is no way he could of judged the swerve that shot had on it. Some goals, even at the near post, are unsavable.

Haha! The ref got that decission spot on only giving him a yellow, if you look there was a defender covering him.

There's a defender, but he would never have stopped Cole from shooting. Szcezney himself said he should have gone.

Dunno how really but I somehow got to that vid while surfing youtube. Had all but forgotten about that match - had only just begun watching the PL back then.
 
Chelsea keeper channeled his inner Almunia for that last goal.
 
Young American star Brek Shea has joined Arsenal for month long training. Really excited, the guy is a 190cm mean machine with some badass hair and, of course, badass skills.
