CL: Hamburg vs Arsenal | 13/09/06

Guys, some of you REALLY need to watch the replay again. If you watch the penalty incident from the side view you can clearly see that the goalkeeper catches RvP's left foot. I'm not gonna lie, RvP went down easily but there was still contact there

spoilt is completely an appropriate word in this occasion, after the psv game the other night ,most pool supporters were completely happy about coming back home from an away champions league game with a point In the bag. But noo its impossible for some people to be happy about us winning once in a while here. There is always something or someone to whine about, and it really is getting annoying tbh.

So true!

About the penalty i thought that was what the mayority of the people in here wanted? To be a bit more cynical? There was contact, yes he went down far to easily, but penalty nevertheless. And in the end it gave us three important points! A whole different story if there wasnt any contact at all... The red card was rubbish though...

Any news about Toure for sunday by the way?

 

[tgr]

toure will be available, but v.persie in big doubt

i thought it was a good win tbh.

we shouldnt have conceded at the end but doing so then should hopefully show the players not to be so damn complacent.

Lehmann must be fuming that his record is gone, i seriously reckon he could have made it up to the quarters with his record.

i'm very pleased with the way we played against hamburg at AOL stadium (although a faster counter-attack gameplay would be more pleasing) but i can't hide my frustration at how we conceded the last goal...

we were sloppy in the final 5 minutes when we should be as tight as possible...

anyway, we got 3 points and 2 AWAY goals...

they need to keep a cleansheet and score 2 AWAY goals to beat us (which i'm very confident they won't)

umm... this is the group stage. i think you've confused it with the knockout stage. what matters here are points and we got those.

Due to our away win in Hamburg, Arsenal overtook Juve and are now 4th (highest ever!) in the UEFA Club ranking (Milan are first, closely followed by FC Barcelona; Inter are just above us, mainly due to their UEFA Cup run in 2002). It's very important to be in the top 8 (Manure -11th- and Chelski -12th- aren't, ), because that means we are top seeds for the CL draw.
