He is not way off the mark. In fact, his comments have been proved right in the CL final. Any one remembers seeing the linesman raise the flag for a penalty when ferdinand made a head-high challenge on joe cole? Why wasn't that awarded? Wasn't that a ref mistake?

The subtle inference here is obvious. "Arsenal only won nothing this year because we were cheated by refs in big games". No Arsene, your team weren't good enough. How will Arsenal ever win anything if the manager refuses to face up to his side's failings, instead choosing to blame the referee?

Paul, London,

Let's finally put an end to the
perpetual winge from Chelsea. Mr Michel did them a favour by giving the so called ghost goal instead of awarding the stonewall penalty kick and sending Cech off. Pity the ref in the Barca-Arsenal final did not award Barca's goal and leave Lehmann on the field.
