well i hoped we might channel the '89 spirit to beat the scousers tonight but it wasn't to be. it was a fair game, played at full pace for the most part by two good sides. the arsenal dominated for 25 minutes but only scored once. the liverpool came back when a mistake by swiss tony let hypia score a trademark header. 1-1 as it been every time this season. then in the second half liverpool went ahead with a torres strike that was brilliant but he should never had got the chance - black mark again for senderos. but on came theo walcott who went on a mazy run (bit like TH14's goal against pool some time ago), crossed for adebayor to equalize and put us ahead on the away goals. then it all went wrong; we just can't seem to hold a lead at the moment. babel burst into the box and the otherwise superb kolo wrestled with him. penalty, a bit fortunate but predicable. equally predictably stev'errrrm gerrard scored. it was all over at that point and their 4th goal just sealed it. i am sure this ends our chance of silverware, we might beat united but i doubt it and think that even if we do we look too tired to win the league. whatever happens this has been a much better season for arsenal than anyone outside the club expected, including me and most other fans. so good luck liverpool, i hope you beat the chavs and reach the final: where thierry can his revenge on our behalf!
and on the bright side.. cambridge won away at rushden!

It was never a penalty, Kolo barely touched the guy. What made it worse we should have had a pen in the first leg - even Andy Gray said so!
