ManYoo Screwed Up As a Gooner I loved it, but it has to be said that we weren't great, and United blew it. Wenger got it spot on - when United started time-wasting with 20 minutes to go, they handed the initiative to Arsenal, who until then hadn't looked like scoring. I just don't understand what is stopping referees from clamping down on this - perhaps Bennett just didn't have the guts to give Evra a second yellow.

I wonder whether people have been fooled by his goal-scoring this season - he's clearly got better at getting into the six-yard box to score, but he's still an intensely frustrating player the rest of the time.

I know how hard you work and the sacrifices you make to protect our city." Yet, Potter said, he'll stick by his approach to publicly call on officers for changes when he sees a problem.
