One-nil to the Arsenal... and then this....

So the win against l'fool at the Emirates amounts for nothing after the porto display. Satisfying as it was to plug one against the scum of merseyside, to watch the arse capitulate against the shit show that porto is even after a week-long break is disappointing to say the least.

Didn't watch the game live (thank goodness for that!) but I watched the goals. Fuckin lame shit.

fabianski somehow managed to push a cross into his own net when it looked a comfortable enough catch for him. No class.

Then Sol equalised - funny how we lost the last CL game he played in where he scored too ...haha.

But comedy galore early in the 2nd half when Sol back-passed to fabianski and the silly git picked up the ball rather than play safe and boot it into row Z. It resulted in an indirect freekick that porto took quickly and passed with ease into the net. The goal probably shouldn't have stood but the ref was a cunt, as often is the case.

However, to whine about bad luck or bad judgement from the ref ultimately costing the arse is hogwash. That goal came early in the 2nd half - meaning the arse had a good 40 minutes to hit back with at least one goal. But the determination does not exist in this side. What a weak side this is. Oh, I noticed penilson played again. Funny that. Of course, maybe it's only fair to consider that a number of 1st-teamers were absent through injury but hey, at this level, that's no excuse either.

Let me tell you what will happen in the 2nd leg: porto will set their stall out. They will dive. They will waste time.They will kill off the game. It will probably end up 0-0 or, at best, the arse winning 3-2 and getting knocked out on away goals. The arse will be left whining. The arse will be left with another failed campaign.

I've always hated drawing supposedly "weaker" opposition in the CL. I think it's no coincidence that our best campaign had us play the likes of juve and real on the way to the final and we controlled most of those games. The only game we nearly screwed up was the villareal game - again, supposedly "weaker" opposition.

Fuck this shit.
