It’s you! No it’s you! No it’s you!

It was so damn funny to watch this live but not any less in the repeated views. I happened to remember or step on this when I was browsing for something else.

On this incident, Arsene Voyeur said:

It could be interpreted that Robert was being disrespectful, but that would be wrong. I think it is because he is so serious that he was insecure about taking a second penalty. I felt Robert had enough confidence to take the second penalty, but that is not the way he felt. I felt disbelief. But Robert is a lucky boy because the team has not been punished.

Not sure about his players but we are not stupid. Pires took the first penalty of the match to make it 1-0 and he was not confident about taking the second penalty. And it all sounds like Arsene never knew that such a thing would be done by his players on the pitch. I can’t imagine this happening at Chelsea.

As if this was not funny enough, Henry says that Pires’ leg was numb.

Robert’s leg went numb, but had he touched the ball, I would have been there to bury the ball.

It’s like a referee saying just before the match that he is blind!
