Making Plans 929 Posted April 13, 2013 Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "I thought we wouldn''t give in and fight until the end. No-one could predict we would score three goals but we have great attitude, spirit and desire - and it got us there. We deserved to win but we were against a strong side and needed something special."Well sorry Whinger but you did not deserve to win that match but you did get something special Former Leeds manager Neil Warnock"You are shaken after feeling such an injustice when a man 50-yards away gives a decision for a penalty that no Arsenal player appeals for."You have a busy linesman over there. I get in trouble so much about referees but now I can say what I want"."That penalty that started this would not have been given at the other end of the pitch." Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker"Hugely controversial decision at The Emirates for the equaliser. Linesman gives a dubious penalty from afar following a corner that never was."

AJ 1,218 Posted April 13, 2013 Anything from Hughton? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crafty Canary 490 Posted April 13, 2013 Yes, he is clearly angry and questions how an official from 50 yards can give a decision that the ref from 10 yards cannot.We can all take being beaten by a better team on the day but this game turned on a corner that never was.BTW, does anyone seriously believe our players have only been fouled once in the area this season as that''s the number of penalties we have been given.

Making Plans 929 Posted April 13, 2013 [quote user="AJ"]Anything from Hughton?[/quote]Norwich manager Chris Hughton: "Losing in that manner is frustrating. For 85 minutes you have to accept the balance of possession is going to be Arsenal''s. But we battled well, broke when we could, took the lead and made it difficult for them. "If it''s a bit of quality that opens you up, then you hold your hands up. But a decision has gone against us that a linesman has given from 45 to 50 yards away and the referee is less than 10 yards away. "For a linesman to give it from that distance, and the third goal was offside with him 10 yards away, it''s almost criminal on a day that we deserved so much more."

It's Character Forming 1,156 Posted April 13, 2013 Agree 100% with CHAlso we all know Warnock tends to see things from his teams perspective. But today he was a neutral and you have to say he''s called it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
