You have to give a lot of credit to Jack Collison last night for not only playing but showing huge character and composure after he lost his father in a motorcycle accident on the M25 on Sunday, The events summed up fantastically here... "Collison was helped from the pitch clearly distraught and in floods of tears on an evening that had offered an opportunity to return to normality and the day job but instead had been drenched in vitriol and hatred."

Distin looks more than likely. Will be interesting to see if the takover at Portsmouth puts a stop to the hemorrhaging of players. Has it come in time to stop Distin walking away?

I think after handing in a Tranfer Request a move away is just a formality now...

I used to like Eduardo but not anymore the little Diving Sh'it, There is no room for things like that in Football it's disgusting, I think Artur Borucs reaction sumed it up perfectly...

Shocking dive. Thank Rafa none of our players do that.

I wonder what Arsène Wenger has to say about it...
The two sides have been evenly matched Arsenal shading the better chances and it's a shame such a "Dodgy" decision has spoilt the game in a way, If only Scott McDonald could have held his run...

I think they should ask him a few days after the game. Where he'll have analized it and got to see the dive from all angles. Then he can't answer he didn't see it.

Arsenal superb at the minute, lets see how they cope with a proper team at the weekend though

FFS is Eduardo the only player who has ever dived?

Tyldesley has wittered on about everyone from Wenger to the PFA getting involved to tell him off, I don't recall such comments from him when Ronaldo or Gerrard (to name two obvious examples) have taken tumbles during CL games over the years.
