Bizarre Penalty
Anyone saw that Arsenal second penalty attempt against Manchester City? I've never seen anything like that!
What happened was, as Pires stepped up to take the kick, he stopped and tried to dummy David James. Then he tried to do a very short pass to Henry who was rushing in. It was clearly well orchestrated beforehand. But he either screwed up or hesitated too long, because Henry didn't get to the ball and in the end the referee blew for a free kick to City.
Like what the commentator said, Arsenal ended with egg on their faces for trying something so different. They weren't exactly leading comfortably at that time (it was only 1-0), and City had a goal disallowed after that. Boy, if that had stood, it would be really malu man.
I don't know if you can do that for penalties, but it was definitely the most bizarre attempt I've seen. Such arrogance!
