As for the penalty claims i think Parks was a stonewall penalty i've seen it a few times now and from the back it's inconclusive but Zhicov didn't win touch the ball at any point imo.

You need to watch it again. This time, watch the path of the ball. If you don't think that Zhirkov touched the ball, book an appointment with an optician.

Thought they were both penalties to be honest. Neither decision affected the game though as Chelsea were far better in all departments.

I thought the Anelka penalty was definite.

I thought the Park one could've been given. If Zhirkov hadn't made contact with the ball then that would've been definite too. 50/50 call for me. The way Park went down would have swayed the decision against him but TBH I'm not sure whether he was doing a Gerrard.

Couldn't agree more. The sad fact was that Chelsea could've upped their game at any time.

Walcott being hyped up as Arsenal's key man tonight.

They're out.

1725: CSKA Moscow v Inter Milan: Stay tuned for a full build-up of Barcelona v Arsenal, but it kicks off on the plastic pitch at the Luzhniki Stadium in 10 minutes, so lots to talk about there too - including Inter coach Jose Mourinho's amazing pre-match comments after CSKA's scheduled league game against Zenit St Petersburg at the weekend was cancelled for security reasons following the double Moscow suicide bombings last week: "CSKA have already done something to win - they didn't play on Saturday," said Mourinho. "They used a slightly sad excuse but they did it well. Of course they could just have told the truth. Would I coach in Russia? Only for CSKA, because they have the ability to reschedule matches as they want."

Inter a goal up after 6 minutes.

Free kick from Wesley Schneider. Terrible defending and 'keeping to let it in.

I'd be pretty damn furious with the ridiculous performance they put in though, and if that player was one of the worst he'd be getting my virtiol over that, but over leaving the ground? Big deal.

From Teddy in Barcelona, via text to +44 7786200666: "Well Stevo, I'm at my hotel afraid to leave the room in my Arsenal shirt - not because of hostility, rather embarrassment... this really could be a drubbing. However, we shall leave Spain with our heads held high, whether it be a loss or win, knowing we have just played the best team in the world. In Arsene We Trust."

Now that is a perfect example of an Arsenal fan. And one of the biggest reasons I hate 'em so much.

That's how you hit a ball.
