Wenger still feels cheated by European exit at hands of Liverpool

*******************************************************************
According to a news report by THE GUARDIAN UK, Arsène Wenger suggested yesterday that Liverpool had cheated their way to victory over his Arsenal team in last season's Champions League quarter-final.

The Frenchman is preparing for the Premier League showdown against Liverpool at Emirates Stadium tomorrow, but the draw for the Champions League last 16, which paired Arsenal with the Italian club Roma, prompted a wistful look back.

Arsenal had been set fair for progress into the semi-finals on away goals last April, when Emmanuel Adebayor scored in the 84th minute at Anfield to make the scoreline 2-2 on the night and 3-3 on aggregate. Yet the dream was shattered two minutes later, when the Liverpool substitute Ryan Babel went down after a tackle from Kolo Touré to win a contentious penalty. Steven Gerrard scored and Babel made the game safe with Liverpool's fourth goal in injury time.

"It was a dive, you can say that, because Kolo didn't touch him but he [Babel] did it well," said Wenger, who also claimed his team ought to have had a penalty in the first leg when Dirk Kuyt challenged Alexander Hleb. "We had the penalty that was not given and the one over there [at Anfield].

Arse-ne claimed Toure didn't touch Babel, may be he saw Babel was running solo and Toure was like 5 feet away. But tell me what do you see from this photo? Arse-ne... stop denying. And accept your losses gracefully. Liverpool did you 3 times last season.

hahaha... now Arse-ne is becoming more and more like Jose Morinho. The Special One can never ceased his fascination towards Luis Garcia's `Ghost Goal'. Now Arse-ne is claiming that Liverpool cheated when they were beaten soundly in the 3 consecutive straight games. They couldn't register a win at the 1st leg in Anfield, managed only to draw from Peter Crouch's surprised shot some 50 yards away at Emirates and again, lost 4-2 also at Emirates.

The sorry state of Arsenal who were evidently out-maneuvered by a more matured play by grown-up man of Liverpool seems made no sense at all to Arse-ne. He failed to recognise that his team is nothing but a school boy team. They can be easily thrown away by a more muscular opponent.

Yes Arse-ne keep on telling us how his team is playing a beautiful game with that fluid passing and neat crossing... but hello... all the other teams now know how to stop that from happening. Just ask Hull City. And one might suspect that is exactly what Liverpool might do tonight.
