Heartache

I won't run down the match, since I was talking to Mel for most of it and had it on mute. The only thing I have to say is that I agree with Wigan, the referee'ing sucked -- they missed a penalty, and one of our goals was ruled offsides when it wasn't. And that own goal must feel terrible when they played so well. Really. Sorry Wigan, I didn't want you to win, but you shouldn't have lost like this.

That said, theirs wasn't the only heart breaking on Sunday. WHAT is going on with Arsenal? What happened to our defense??? We looked terrible, terrible. I'm not sure how we can comfortably beat Manchester United and Liverpool, and suck against Watford, Sheffield and Wigan -- and the latter AT HOME! Bolton must be on cloud nine. I've never seen Henry pissed off before, so that was something, and I'm not sure it deserved a yellow card, but that little show by Lehmann at the end was completely uncalled for. He really is a bit of a dick. Still think we should get Buffon to take his place.

I understand the Wigan manager is going to appeal to the FA for bad officiating. I don't blame him, but if they do review it, they'll see that Adebayor wasn't offsides, so the score will still stand. Right?
