Hello, they're welcome to a brand new ars blog arscast right here on ars blog dot com.

I hope you're well and recovering from what has been you have to say a fairly trying and difficult week for the arsenal of the club for the fans for everybody.

Think about it. Since the last time we spoke, we've gone out of the Champions League in controversial circumstances, and I don't care what anyone says about the way we played or the way the Barcelona played, it was controversial.

The red card made a big difference and we'll touch on that as the show goes on. Drop two points last weekend against Sunderland because a lineman couldn't see that an onside man was onside and gave him offside.

So we dropped two points and despite the fact that we made a net gain on Manchester United, the gap isn't as close as we wanted it to be nor as close as it should have been had the lineman got his eyes checked.

What else injuries Shesney's dislocated his finger and damaged the tendon in his finger and probably he'll get some kind of infection and his arm was swell up and fill with posts and then they'll have to cut it off.

As well as that you wait for charges for Samir Nazari and Ars and Venger for comments they made to shit referee Massimo Boussacca after the game on Tuesday night apparently they told him they thought he was shit and he took offense and according to Ars and Venger well from what Ars and implies the referee gave a little bit back.

This is a referee of course that gave the finger to young boys and living in Ireland I know that one should always be dubious of men who like to finger young boys.

He also took a piss on the pitch seriously in the middle of a game he stood there on the corner of the penalty spot and urinated and got banned for three games so he is clearly insane because nobody takes their lad out in the middle of a football match and has a piss.

Well I know Jens did but he went behind the advertising hoardings he didn't just get his Johnson out and start sprinkling the turf I mean who's going to slide tackle in that area the pitch again.

So it hasn't gone as well as it probably should have or might have anyway certainly not as well as we had hoped and you kind of got the feeling it was going to be one of those weeks after the sundial and game the penalty that wasn't given on our chave and maybe he should have fallen over.

Would even branded a diver if he had well we've seen penalties given with much less contact than that.

He tried to stay in his feet and take a shot and in the end that proved to be probably the wrong decision even if he had fallen over there was no guarantee the ref would have given it anyway he might have given him a yellow card.

And then there was the offside goal.

Arshavan clearly onside and given offside by the lineman whatever his name is Trevor Mulmings or Arthur Gleachamper I don't know what his name is all I know is that he's a pretty shit lineman because it wasn't even that difficult a decision to make.

He looked well onside to me at the time and the replay showed that he was indeed well onside.

Arsen vanger not particularly happy at all afterwards and then the week it kind of teased us a little bit it said I know Sunlund didn't go very well but what about this?

And Man United lose to Liverpool.

The Ferguson goes into media locked down and they're feeling the pressure and you think it hey this isn't bad you know could have been worse in fairness.

We might have been closer but you know we'll take what we're given and then what's this on the arse of website before the Barcelona Robin van Persies in training how is this possible he was like three or four weeks out.

Three or four weeks for Robin is you know usually longer and all of a sudden he's fit and he might play and then he's starting the game and you're thinking you know things could be looking up here and Barcelona dominated the first half but we defended very very well.

The tackling was fantastic well timed the attempts on goal were few and far between and only a mistake from SESC gave them the first goal now in fairness they had a lot to do and what they did they did it very well and Messi's finish was it was really really good and had it not been against Arsenal I would enjoy it I'd watch it again because that little dink up and then in is just first class but it was against Arsenal so I won't.
