Barcelona vs. Arsenal

3-1, Champions League, Nou Camp, 8/3 -11

Outrageous from the ref, sure we were outplayed by Barca for most of the game but we kept the score-line down until a certain Swiss referee stepped in! van Persie had picked up one yellow in the first half (which we came out of a goal down), after just about an hour played van Persie was flagged offside, though he didn't noticed and took the shot, the ref showed him red !! Completely unbelievable, there were more than 90 000 people in the stadium shouting and whistling, van Persie was far from the referee, the ref blows his whistle like a second or two before van Persie makes contact with the ball, what the fuck does he think will happen!? You would think that the ref, who is actually in the stadium with the players and can hear all that noise, would understand the situation and avoid ruining the game for us! Not even Wilshere could hear the whistle, and he was virtually next to the referee ! What makes it even worse is that we had actually pulled one back and was currently in the next round of the Champions League! (though it was a Busquets own goal).

But now we must look ahead to the FA cup game at Old Trafford on saturday, now that is a game I'm sure that we can win!

Injury Update;
-Good news is that van Persie didn't have a recurrence of his injury!
-Don't really know much else at the moment, except for the fact that Frimpong will be back and training next week after being out for seven months !
