S1 Ep5: WHAT IF... Robin Van Persie Hadn't Been Controversially Sent Off Whilst Arsenal Were Beating Barcelona In The 2011 Champions League?
Manage episode 300285834 series 2971895
It's time for episode 5 and let me tell you, it's a spicy one.
If you're anything like us (AKA, not Arsenal fans) you may not know the story behind this one. Well, Arsenal were playing Barcelona in the Champions League round of 16, and as Arsenal were set to go through on away goals, the referee that day sends off RVP for a completely innocuous incident. Arsenal then go on to lose the tie, and Barcelona go on to lift the trophy that year.
So the tall tale we're telling today is this: what might have happened if that referee hadn't sent the flying Dutchman off for a completely undeserved reason?
Do Arsenal win the Champions League? How is Barcelona's future affected? And what role does Andre Santos play in all this?
Find out the answers to all those questions and more, in this particularly juicy tale of corruption, redemption, and good old fashioned sh*t-housery.
