Ill advised. What's Monreal gonna do out there? Nothing. And theres barely time left. Just braindead but I'LL TAKE ITThat was just a dumb foul from Wasilewski...
As it played out v ten men yeah. But Atkinson should have gave Simpson a warning. His last tackle was not a yellow for me. A game like this we really do need a ref not to get too involved. But so often refs put their mark on a game.What a finish. They deserved those 3 points.
Well sure, but if we're going there then Leicester's goal should never have happened either.As it played out v ten men yeah. But Atkinson should have gave Simpson a warning.

Are you talking about the penalty decision. It's debatable, but when Thierry Henry says it's a pen...there's good grounds for it being a pen.Well sure, but if we're going there then Leicester's goal should never have happened either.
I may have sort of, a little bit, hit my girlfriend in the face on that score. Whoops. Good thing it's not a special kind of day or anything.I haven't had a good jump-up-and-down, scream-like-a-banshee sporting moment like that in quite a while. Thanks, Danny!

Think the keeper was playing for a re-direct and Welbeck, as you noted, barely even touched it so there wasn't any true redirect.Did Welbeck even change the path of that ball? It looked like it continued on its course from the kick on the restart. He at least grazed it, sure, but it looks like he got little more than a few of those heavily-slicked hairs on it.
I was shocked the keeper didn't move into the path of the ball. He just stood there. Had Welbeck not touched it, it would have gone untouched into goal from about 35m out with Schmeichel doing a statue impression.
That game was crazy. 0-0 97 minutes in, then van Persie 98, Kuyt 102. All that extra time thanks to Carragher getting KO'd by Flanagan.I remember, a few years ago, Eboue fouled Lucas after Arsenal had fought so hard to get the 1-0 as Lucas was going away from the goal in the box. It was such a dumb foul and unnecessary and the ref had no choice but to give the pen. Kuyt nailed the pen. Players are dumb and impetuous. Still doesn't excuse Wasilewski or Eboue.
I don't think either team can be happy with the officiating. It seemed like Atkinson changed his course in the second half and that sort of bit Leicester in the back. I don't think that foul warranted Simpson's sending off, but I do think that he was close to a second yellow given unchecked fouls in the first half, if we're going by aggregation.Aye, those can go either way mate. I feel your pain.
Leicester have seemed like a very confident team and I'm not sure this shakes them at all to be honest.I haven't had a good jump-up-and-down, scream-like-a-banshee sporting moment like that in quite a while. Thanks, Danny!
I did say before the game that I had a gut feeling Arsenal would win; it just felt to me as though it was Arsenal's turn to have something good happen, and Leicester's to have something bad happen. How many times this year have Arsenal knocked at the door time and again late in a match without getting the equalizer/winner they were looking for? And how many times have Leicester had things break for them just the right way? Results are the confluence of luck and skill; Leicester have been the best team so far this season, but I don't think they've had many (if any) moments where it looked like things were going their way and then didn't. I wonder if this might be the moment when Leicester stops absolutely believing that this is their year, and conversely, when Arsenal really starts believing they can and will win the title.
So you admit that the officials were the reason Wednesday beat Arsenal in the League Cup.I can never decide if the earth revolves around Liverpool or Arsenal.
Good thing the vast officiating conspiracy didn't stop plucky little Arsenal Football Club from knocking off 10 man Leicester.
This was a true gut punch of a game.That game was crazy. 0-0 97 minutes in, then van Persie 98, Kuyt 102. All that extra time thanks to Carragher getting KO'd by Flanagan.
How many times will we be saying, "Well, can't defend that."Having Suarez, Neymar, and Messi on the other side is enough to give you that "bad feeling."
