Well im gonna hand it to Arsenal for the comeback where other teams would let their balls shrivel and die and accept defeat. They came back and attacked Barca. Hopefully you can finish the tie at the Nou Camp. But i doubt it.

Yeah, I thought they showed guts and spirit.

They are not out of it, that's for sure.

I don't really think it was a right call for a penalty there.

Cecs' leg was caught in between Puyol's out from nowhere, it was a silly tackle and IMO far from a penalty call.
It wasn't deliberate from Puyol, but it had to be a penalty.

Fabregas was about to score and the contact from Puyol prevented it.

It was just clumsy/unlucky from Puyol but it was the right call.

That's pretty much outlined in "Rules of the Game". Contact that denies a player a distinct scoring opportunity is an automatic red card and a direct free kick.

Nor me, and you never, ever, ever, ever, ever, get them outside the area when someone is taking a shot. Ever. It was a home decision.

It was a penalty, but not a red. That's just not fair.

But folks here will say that Barca gets all the calls because they're crybabies.
