I don't usually write about football matters outside the mighty reds and England. Yet I'm compelled to comment on Arsenal's wednesday defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League Final. I found it such a shame that Arsenal's resiliance to hold Barca at a 1-0 scorline with only 10 men was damaged heavily by their manager and captain's brainless comments that the ref supported Barcelona and how king Henry was poorly treated by Barca defenders throughout the match. Audaciously, he still managed to call the Barca players 'women' for their 'diving' antics. Henry might be a phenomenal player but he's talking absolout bollocks there. His manager falls under that category as well.
If anyone should complain it should be the Barcelona players. They scored a perfectly good goal which was dissalowed and Lehmann the Arse goalkeeper sent off. Then Eboue set out to break van Bronchorst's leg with a dangerous high tackle. Not to mention his superb dive to earn Arsenal the freekick which lead to Campbell's goal.
I suppose Henry's and Wenger's comments helped me deminish all respect for Arse's squad for their achievements in this year's Champions League and go back to hating them as I always have done.
