Arsenal - Villarreal, 3 - 0. Arsenal stadium, London, England, 2009-04-15
What a guy, eh, this Wolfgang Stark. Severe, even angry at times, another German (see: Kircher) who doesn't seem to like his job.
book book book and send them off!
Book em for talking back to you when you just awarded a penalty for nothing, that is the way to go, Wolfgang Stark. And always keep that nasty look on your face. There can't be such a thing as emotion in football.
didn't he do anything good?
yes, he did, he is pretty good at giving the advantage, and most of his decisions were good, still, not a pretty sight, this humourless German. And his most important decision was wrong and those are the ones that count. Don't forget, Herr Stark, that this was a quarter-final and that Villareal stood a chance, and that there is such a thing as emotion.
