Lame. It wasn't a foul imo, and even if it was, it wasn't a goal scoring opportunity, as the guy didn't have the ball under control.

Oh well.

Damnit, well atleast we have Song to fill his cb position while Denilson takes his place in midfield....

Ive never seen the FA make a logical decision, ever.

are the fa blind or what?? no way the challenge even deserved a yellow

Typical bullshit. FA are too stubborn to say a decision from one of their referees was incorrect.

A Chelsea fan backing an Arsenal player? I like.

But the decision is complete poo. That's all I have to say on that one.

I should be incredulous, but with the FA... Sort of expected.

This is exactly why, indeed. Same reason (but with UEFA as the moronic governing body) that Øvrebø still referees Champions League football.

probably Wenger's fault, Boy Who Cried Wolf and all that ****.

I guess Wenger hasn't had much to feel sorry for himself about since Ramsey's injury.. It's a win, win situation for him
