I agree with Arsene that he should have at least got a yellow card on the day. Maybe Carrick too.

Secondly. Arsenal have to be careful?…. Rooney dived for that penalty. Fair enough there was contact after he started his tumble, as he knew there would be, so the referee had no choice, Almunia was stupid. But the fat kid buckled before there was any contact.

You sound like Andy Gray in your assessement of Eduardo and Eboue, then turning a blind eye to British players’ rough house tactics and simulation.
