Wenger moaning about how BOTH goals were offside when in actual fact, neither were.
The first, even with the aid of video technology, was inconclusive, which means it is ON SIDE! benefit goes to the attacker!
The second there is no debate about as the ball is played to meireles who is comfortably onside. stop moaning about interfering with play and the like because neither were offside.
If we want to talk about a scandalous decision, what was the ref doing allowing that blatant push by arshavin on kelly in our box. could very easily have led to a goal, but im sure wenger didnt see that one!!

The ball was played. Suarez was in an offside position. Suarez gained an advantage from that offside position.
Anyway, I think it WASN'T offside. WASN'T!
The first one was though!

We scored two goals that were offside. So what! We will do what we want

First one was so close that the linesman couldn't have possibly given it offside.
To say that the second one is offside is laughable

Suarez was cleary interfering with play for the goal he scored, but so what? its pointless moaning about it after the event.
Wenger should be looking to blame Flimbsysong for getting sent off for the loss, not the ref.

'A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by
.........................
So as the the ref gave both goals, in his opinion neither where offside? Glad we cleared that up and we now know they were onside!

================================
Suarez wasn't even close to Meireles when the ball was passed to Meireles and he wasn't in the ball path.
These Arsenal moaning fans need specsavers. Not even close to offside

"red_man23 (U1669) - You don't have to touch the ball, you have to interfere with play to be offside".
And Suarez wasn't interfering with play as their defender had got the ball and attempted to make a clearance .

Even "Mr Arsenal" himself, Alan Smith, said the first was borderline and you would like to think that the attacker gets the advantage. As he has the benefit of a replay and the ability to draw lines on the screen etc, you gooners can have no complaints about that decision...ON SIDE!
The second is laughable. In wengers interview he says he hadnt seen the second one and in the same sentence says its obvious both are offside and scandalous decisions.....WENGER VISION!

I dunno mate, the problem with this "interfering with play" rule, there is a massive grey area. Suarez' presence alone made the defender rush the clearance into Ramsey. Do you class that as interfering?
Like I said, grey area, but you won't find me complaining :P
