It hurts


It hurts.  Arsenal have been knocked out of the FA cup.  A cup we have won over and over again in the last few seasons.  A cup I did not expect to win last season.  The Emirates FA Cup, for a team that plays in the Emirates stadium. 

Do not get me wrong, Nottingham Forest deserved the first goal, due to our terrible defending, and the second goal that they scored was amazing.  They did deserve the first penalty as well.  However, I feel that the second one was not deserved.  I think that Debuchy got to the ball first, but it is unclear on the replays that the referee had no access to.  But the penalty was a double touch one and should not have counted.  But again, this is hard to tell when using the replay.

And with our defending, I am not looking forwards to the league cup game against Chelski later this week.
