Well I'm just glad Arsenal have never scored a goal from a quickly taken free kick. That's something Thierry Henry would never have done, eh Arsene?

It's a good job it wasn't Moureen or Chelsea there tonight, otherwise another ref might have been forced to resign over numerous death threats.

That said, can't believe that clown is going to the World Cup.

Shay Given, dear oh dear.

Shocking mistake. Been the best goalkeeper in the Prem this season IMO. Could come off his line more often but he has been excellent.

As for Vieira, he made a stupid challenge. TBH I think a lot of City fans will be happy to see him banned. Not sure myself. I think he has done ok from the bench. If he is banned and De Jong gets injured then we may have to play attacking football for a change. That would be nice

You missed the s after mistake. Just because the referee took pity on him and disallowed the goal, it doesn't mean he wasn't massively at fault. The Stoke player did nothing wrong whatsoever. Given and the ref should be massively embarrassed over that incident.

Good job it wasn't Man United there, or there'd have been a few Porto players with sore heads from all the coins thrown at players' heads.

Just remembered this, but did the ITV commentator really go overboard on the impact Theo Walcott would have when he came on?

I'm not sure he did as I was only half-listening. Then I thought he couldn't be bigging up Walcott because he's dreadful.

And after he came on Walcott looked like a Championship player who had got lost and found himself in the CL. Which is pretty much what he is.
