Graham Poll

Some Arsenal holes are still going on about Poll and THAT penalty.

I've seen it a few times and to me it always looks like Campbell catches Robert's heel just before the ball, which technically means a foul.

Add that to the fact the play was in our half then switched quickly to Robert who ran like the wind, Poll is obviously going to be miles away and to him it is a clear penalty.

SHUT UP YOU STUPID COCKNEY TOSSERS!

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest, Bobby's point about being bad losers has also caused personal offence with nearly every Arsenal fan, which just goes to prove him right.

Mr Robson didn't actually say that Arsenal were bad losers. What he said was the "Some people in this building need to learn how to lose. We have had to." At the time it seemed that he was really refering to Henry.

They just need to learn the rules. If you tackle from behind and make contact with the player, regardless of whether you play the ball, it is a foul and a mandatory yellow card. A foul in the penalty area is a penalty. Duberry took ball and man out today from the side, no foul, no penalty (no dive either, but the FA will tell you that one).
