Braga vs. Arsenal

0-2, Champions League, 23/11 -10

There have been better times to support the Arsenal, but unfortunately you can't pick when you want to support and when you just don't.
After a tough weekend we were looking to bounce back by securing the qualification to the knock-out stages in the Champions League, but courtesy of the ref that proved impossible.

We were dominant throughout the game, but didn't have too many chances, with 22 minutes to go Cesc got a recurrence of the hamstring problem that's been haunting him lately, and when we had made all three substitutions Eboue had to be carried off on a stretcher after a bad tackle from behind.
So when Carlos Vela got brought down in the box with fifteen minutes to go, it surely was defining for the game, but not in our favor, no, even though they have two extra referees watching the box in the CL, they couldn't tell when Vela was brought down, they decided that it was a dive and booked him! It really is a disgrace, they have put in extra referees just to avoid these kind of situations!!

And then things went straight down for us, again....
