Porto vs. Arsenal

1-2, Champions League, Estadio do Dragao, 17/2 -10
Campbell 18

There's not words to describe how weird that referee was in his decision that led to Porto's winner.. I'm soo disappointed in the decision, and the ref is from Sweden, which really doesn't make things any better..

We played quite well, Porto's first was unlucky for Fabianski, who dropped it in, but after that we responded well and eventually Fabregas' corner found Vermaelen, who headed towards Rosicky, who headed back to Campbell, and the power in his header was just astonishing.
When we got our goal we kept going strong with some great chances, and in the second half we should have been given a penalty when Rosicky was brought down in the box, and he wasn't the only one that recieved tackles, Fabregas was clearly their main target for the evening.

When Sol accidently got a toe to a ball that Fabianski picked up, and the referee gave Porto a free kick in the box, but the fucked up shit was that when the referee stood in Sol's way, a Porto player passed another player and he scored, and the referee gave them the goal!! I mean, when you give a team a free kick in the box, the defending team should always have time to gather their defence, but this time it was just like giving Porto a goal, since they could take it at once!

Anyway, we are just simply going to take it to Emirates for the return, we won 4-0 against Porto at Emirates last year, so hope is certainly not gone.

Injury Update;
-Gallas(calf), Almunia(finger), Arshavin(hamstring), Song(knee) and Eduardo(hamstring) all missed this game
-Song is likely to return for the Sunderland clash, Almunia is 50:50, but the rest + Diaby will be out.
-Diaby picked up a medial knee ligament injury
