Default Re: Champions League - April 8th

Obvious you ain't got a clue about football - ref was playing advantage in letting play continue as the ball was at Babels' feet and no matter which rose tinted spectacles you were wearing Toure pulled Babel back!!!
The first leg incident was also a penalty but not given but no matter what if Arsenal had got the penalty in the 1st leg they still had to score it and even then if they did score it the scoreline brought to Anfield would have been 2 v 1 to Arsenal and on my calculations over the 2 legs LIVERPOOL would have won through
5 v 4 - Give it up!!! Liverpool won simple and plain! no matter how pretty Arsenal played...

Arsenal were completely dominant in the 1st leg and first 30min of the 2nd. Liverpool got the result they wanted from the 1st. The 1-1 in 2nd leg was vital to Liverpool as the game became much closer and they dominated at spells, especially after their 2-1. Then Walcott makes that fantastic run only to be denied a crucial goal by a very suspect penalty. It should have been a freekick as Fabregas is the one pulling Babel (just outside the area) and Touré runs behind him harldly coming in contact. Overall Arsenal were worthy to go through in a tight 2-leg game, but Liverpool were the team to have most of the luck (and Arsenal have Senderos )...sometimes that is what is needed to win games. What's done is done I guess...well done to all that won last night, no games I wanted to get involved in.
