Fog Postpones Liverpool - Arsenal Match
“We could see both goals clearly, which are the rules, but it was difficult to convince him. We trained in worse conditions this morning. When can we play? We’ll need to move the semi-final [scheduled for January 9 or 10] or perhaps we should play both cups in the same game.” - Rafa Benitez
“I’m very disappointed because I wanted to play and so did Liverpool, but we weren’t able to influence the decision of the referee. In our opinion the pitch was playable. But, on the safety side, I don’t know. I just know everybody’s very disappointed.” - Arsene Wenger
Juuuust great. We’re giving more time for Cherry (Thierry) to get fit before the clash. Jeeezuz. Let’s just get it over with, ref!
UPDATE:
THIS is how Liverpool felt about the game being postponed.

“…said he could see clearly both goals but the [teams'] colours could be difficult for the linesmen.”
they could have gone for the shirts versus skins option.
the match is reset to january 9. i was hoping it’ll be aired when we’re in bora: we could make a drinking game out of that.
