Really remarkable last 5 minutes to the game. I dare anyone to mention a game still in open play that owned that sheer amount of drama in just 5 closing minutes!
As per usual Arsene Whinger and the Arsenal faithful had a lot to say about the ref, the pen, etc. etc. I'm sure the colour of Kenny Dalglish's suit must have been another mitigating factor accounting for the Arsenal win that failed to materialise. Tut tut
I think the game proved to me at least why Arsenal have been failing to win much over the past few seasons...
A team with character sticks to the task till the very very end. They never back down, and even when the odds are against them, throwing in the proverbial towel isn't an option. If luck is against the team, they go against luck and make things happen!
I'm proud I just described my team, I'm sad for Arsenal that until they lose their 'it's our birthright to win things because our brand of football is so pretty' mentality, convincing themselves in the process that the worlds refs, opposing teams and managers hold clandestine meetings plotting their downfall at every turn, then they will continue to win zip, zero, nada, nothing!
Grow some Arsenal. A good start would be to ban whining from your vocabulary and yes, that does mean your manager Arse should go!!!
