Come on BARCA!

I share your sentiments.

Referee made a mess of that. Arsenal up against it now.

 

[The Baconator]

Barcelona deserved the goal there, but the extra man should help them.

 

[roseboy64]

Lehmann off! It'll certainly be interesting now.

 

[superkingdave]

Lehmann was just determined to keep his record for the most minutes unbeaten

You could argue that it helped Arsenal - 0-0 is better than 1-0 (though I don't subscribe to that view).

 

[Tom Halsey]

Keeping up with the "D" part in the CDMs, Eboue dives, gets a free-kick and Arsenal score.

 

[steds]

Eboué dived to get that free kick. Fair play to big Sol, though.

 

[superkingdave]

well Sol only manages one decent attacking header about every 2 years so that's not good for the world cup

He managed two in a game in 1998 (the gap just then doubled until 2002).

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Entertaining stuff init. Doubt they can hold this lead, I reckon they'll need another at least, it's hard enough playing Barca with 11 never mind ten.

Come on Gunners.

 

[luckyeddie]

Seldom have I seen more incompetent refereeing in a showcase final.

 

[Tom Halsey]

I think I have never seen such incompetent refereeing as tonight in a major final.

 

[steds]

Tom Halsey - can be a copycat.

Tom Halsey - can be a copycat.

I changed "seldom" to "never".

 

[steds]

C'mon Henrik!

 

[The Baconator]

Larsson to provide the goods for Barcelona?

 

[steds]

Larsson to provide the goods for Barcelona?

Of course.

 

[Kweek]

Bring on Bergkamp!!!!!

 

[Tom Halsey]

Get in. 1-1.
