Wigan were certainly robbed and Henry should be banned after his jibe at Kirkland. Paul Jewell has a right to be barking mad.

I'm an Arsenal fan, Wigan were great today, they played hard, they were well organised, and a few things didn't go their way, but hey, that's football. In some matches decisions, even bizarre ones, go your way, other times not. Maybe it's time for video technology to come into play ?
Calling Arsenal cheats is sad, how in fact did Arsenal cheat today ? Note that the referee decided it was not a penalty, it was the linesmen who didn't call for offside with the first goal. We were fortunate, not cheats.
By calling Arsenal cheats all you are doing is shaming yourselves. Take it on the chin, you played fantastic and if you continue to play like that then there's no way you'll get relegated.

Sure, it was tough on Wigan and I'm sorry for Henry's reaction, really I am but I also sympathise with him and understand his reaction. I suspect Wednesday's game with Bolton will be no different. Bolton are past masters of this tactic as well as others. What, really, can you expect from a man who's spent the entire game chasing after the ball and who's to say what sort of back and forth was going on between he and Kirkland? I find interesting the photo of the two shaking hands at the end of the game.
At the end of the day, football is a game of passion, heart and commitment. I'm also certain it's tough on Wigan, who I have nothing against, sadly, I've nothing for them either. I found the referee's reaction to Lehman's timewasting (yes he was) predictable, book him immediately as it's so obvious near the end of the game, as opposed to Kirklands. Yes, Wenger had a point.
Consistency is all we want in refereeing decisions, it's still lacking. Adebayor was on onside to make it 1-1, Flamini possibly wasn't. Take your pick.
Frankly, I just want to see Henry winding up Jaaskalainen on Wednesday for the exact same reasons.

Im not an Arsenal or Wigan fan, but watched the game and Wigan should have been given that penalty and won the game! They should have been the first team to stuff Arsenal at home in their new stadium!

Oh c'mon...everyone knows that Arsenal loves to thrill their fans by getting down in the first half at Emirates and pulling a win out at the end.
