What a genius that man is. Heh.

With the straight red, Sol WOULD miss the final.
They should stick Gilberto at centre back, and have a midfield of
Ljunberg | Pires | Parlour | Wiltord

I wonder if Campbell will be able to play in the FA Cup final, as it would be a big downside for him if he does. I just hope the FA sees sense.
Campbell shouldn't have been sent off, but then Henry's second goal shouldn't have counted.
Question is, will Sol's absence for the next few games cost Arsenal the four (effectively) points that goal has saved them?
It seems unlikely, but then if Cygan makes an appearance at center back I wouldn't bet against it...

Good game of football which makes the title still even between two teams. It could all go down to goal difference providing that both teams go through the matches undefeated.
Man United will have a tough task against Blackburn, which I think could end up a draw.
Also think that Sol Campbell should never of got sent off. It was a foul but I don't think that he intended to use an elbow.

From what the lino saw, he elbowed him. You can't say that it wasn't a red card because the lino clearly saw a deliberate elbow from that angle and that's a red.
Maybe it will work for him when they see the other replays.
Just, why did he have to stop and push him back like that in the first place? It would have been a foul and a yellow card for him deliberatly trying to push him.
A moment of stupidity, he didn't need to do that.

But have you seen the Fan Zone commentary on Sky Sports News??
That's even better!! :D

It works in rugby, but that sport's whole atmosphere and ethos is very different. The amount of foul language you'd hear would be unnacceptable.

Haha, that was hilarious. They showed the replay, with Ljunberg kicking Giggs a foot off the ground...then Ashley Cole just walking by the incident, doing nothing. Hah.

When you are trying to gain a yard you have to use your arms he didn't just look behind him and elbowed him.
I have to admit that I do not believe Sol Campbell deserved to be red-carded for 'that incident'. By all means, he deserved a yellow for the use of an elbow in the face - whether it was intended or not. But the fact is that after numorous replays, you can see it wasn't intended, and that he HAD actually tried to hand-off Solskjaer - which, in it's own right, could've also seen him enter the book.
I was amazed to see the cameras were actually allowed that-close to the refferee and his assiatant. I thought there would be things against it...?

Great goals from van Nistelrooy, and I was stunned at the sight of how well we domnated in the first-half. O'Shea had another good game, and I was almost as surprised to see him subbed at half-time as I was to see him actually start the game. I reckon we could've gone on to win the game, had he remained on the pitch... Wes Brown did a bloody-good job at the back too, and made Henry almost 'invisible' throughout the first-45-minutes. Some great, solid Roy Keane-style challenges, there, also.
Surely he deserves Danny Mills' place in the England squad?!?!
But I don't know what happened in the second-half...
Arséne Wenger had onviously "had words", and they were ready to actually take-part in the game, so it seemed... And after the sheer LUCK of Ashley Cole's goal (was Henry offside then?!?!?), and the goal that shouldn't have been; aswell as 2 corners that should've clearly been goal-kicks... Arsénal got off VERY lightly!
We could've been 3-0-up by half-time, and hardly deserved to conceed even a single goal.
Best part of the game was when Cole 'apparently' kicked at the grounded Ryan Giggs, and the Welshman walked towards him calling "Ashley F'-ing Cole!!!"! But I don't think the word was "Cole", either.... :D
And has anyone seen the highlights of the Fan Zone commentary on SkySports News??? Absolutley brilliant!! Especially when Giggs' equaliser goes in! :D
You have to watch it -- put channel 408 on... NOW!!
"YEEEEEESSS!!! YEEEEEEESSSS!!!! SHUTUP YOU FLAMIN' MUPPET!!!!!"
:D

It looked like one from his angle, yes, but slow it down and you can tell it wasn't deliberate violent conduct, so shouldn't have been a red card. It was a mistimed tackle, not a swinging of the elbow.
