Eh bro when a Man U fan starts to get doubts abt beating LIVERPOOL, u'd better be on ur guard ok! Nvm, it'll be an interesting contest. Maybe unsung heroes will take the stage and win the game, ppl like Mascherano, Fabregas, Toure or Carragher, i'd REALLY love to see Carra score a goal at the proper end. He's got 2 goals this season, yes 2 goals. Pity they were own goals, 1 for Spurs and 1 for Hull.

So its now 1-1 at half-time, with goals from Robin Van Persie in the 24th min, before a cracking equaliser from Robbie Keane. In truth the score could have been something like 3-2 or 3-3 had both sides taken their chances. Steven Gerrard slid in but the ball went over the crossbar, before Dirk Kuyt's belter from 20 yards was superbly parried by Almunia. There was then some commotion from the resulting corner between Van Persie and Albert Riera. The corner was poorly taken but as Arsenal looked to break swiftly, Jamie Carragher stepped in with an excellent challenge to concede a throw-in. But that was of no detriment to Liverpool as referee Howard Webb then blew the whistle for half-time.

Its been an entertaining match with the usual drama, dubious fouls and a very soft red card. To be very honest here, Liverpool shoulda won, look at the match stats, 58% possesion! And 13 shots! Best chance of the half fell to Daniel Agger, but his stunning drive was inches wide of the top corner. But the main talking point is probably Adebayor's sending off. Quite a dive by Arbeloa to be honest, and it was an extremely soft 2nd yellow. I didn't anything wrong there, and he was very, very unlucky. I actually yelled 'referee kayu'. But a draw is a draw, and with Chelsea playing Everton, i dun see any reason they shld slip up. Arsenal have a very very slim chance of winning the title now, as they lacked real cutting edge after Fabregas was substituted. And Adebayor's sending off only made it worse. I must applaud him for keeping his cool. So, the final score at the Emirates stadium is 1-1. Robin Van Persie '24 Robbie Keane '42.

yup it's an entertaining match nonetheless. im glad that arsenal manage not to concede a goal in the second half after adebayor's sending off. he didn't really deserve the second yellow card though. and fabregas' not being able to continue on in the second half, i thought it spelt doom for arsenal actually. diaby wasn't really that good last night, he lost possession of the ball far to easily often.
both goals are spectacular, van persie's shot and keane's tap. a much needed soccer dosage after watching how singapore lost to vietnam despite the chances they have in the vietnamese penalty box.

YES!
If anyone realised, the majority of pool chances came after adebayor was sent off! Friggin diver arbeloa. And I believe the ref was a lot more biased than i would have liked, given so many CARDS against Arsenal when Pool committed more fouls...
But kudos to both goalscorers cause they were both magnificent goals - Van Persie's turn was awesome, and so was keane's finish.
I just hope they can rescind that yellow because Adebayor clearly did not deserve to get sent off, if that Poolboy had some balls he would have challenged clearly for the ball, not go down as though he was elbowed when Adebayor tried to shield the ball from him. Cmon he was clutching his FACE!

Haha i second that. Diving is, however, common in the game, and Van Persie did dive quite dramatically in the 18th min when Carragher won the ball fair and square. But i agree, 2 great goals and quite a few chances. Now, come on to Anfield!
