Wenger is going to have a massive hissy about one or both of their penalties. It seems the harder he tries to subliminally put it into referee's heads that they shouldn't give penalties against them, the more it backfires :D

It was a clear penalty. You can’t make a tackle from behind like that. You need to get level and then take the ball before the player. Pen every day of the week.

I need to see it one more time, looked like a 50-50 the first time I watched it

I don't think either penalty was actually a penalty and Forest should have had 11 players sent off, its a clear conspiracy, well at least thats what I'm going to tell any goon i speak to just to rub it in :D
also, the FA should have made them play the game at Arsenal.

Famous fantastic win.

Chuffed.

Wenger loses in the 3rd round for the 1st time ever.

Deep joy.

It wasn’t a pen for me, it was 50-50
Mate, you're embarrassing yourself. A 50-50 implies no one had possession of the ball. The Forest guy was dribbling the ball and the tackle came from behind and through his leg (that you see buckle from the challenge). Doesn't get more 100% pen than that.

Why is Wenger treating this like a league cup tie? Where are all their main players?

Not complaining, well done Forest. Bloody brilliant.
I think they’re much more interested in winning the EL this year. That’s going to be their only way back into the CL.
