No matter how good a player may think he is, no player is bigger than the manager or the club. No matter what you may think of Lukasz Fabianski, he is older and has waited longer for his chance and now he has games under his belt, he has deserved his starting place.

While many might criticise Song's new tendency to get forward, I feel that it is making us more unpredictable and you can see from his goals and assists in recent months that we are greatly benefiting from this

Samir Nasri more than often plays his best for Arsenal when he is playing in Cesc Fabregas' position but when the captain comes back into the team, Nasri gets pushed back to the wide position. Both Cesc and Nasri have not played more than a couple of games together in a three man midfield

It is fantastic to hear that both Robin Van Persie and Aaron Ramsey are almost ready for first team consideration, although the latter will be brought in at a slower pace for obvious reasons. Having said that, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Van Persie pick up a niggle before Ramsey regardless of how serious Ramsey's injury was. We have missed a world class striker and potentially a world class midfielder from our squad, you could almost forget how big those two are for us and they will make a difference to our squad when they come back into the team

In the 30 months that Carlos has been at Arsenal he has only managed to start 18 games, only 3 of those in the Premier League. Inf act Vela has never started 2 consecutive games for Arsenal regardless of the performance

As talented as our ball players are, and we have many who can play out in wide areas, Theo's movement, pace and finishing is vital in this Arsenal team. His sixth of the season having missed a large chunk through injury

I watched some clips and downloaded some Bordeaux games when we all knew that his next destination was going to be the Gunners and I must admit that I was unsure of exactly how he would fit into our team, I suppose I had hoped that Van Persie was going to continue from his world cup fitness and actually play more than a couple of games before he found his way back to the treatment table again

Wojciech Szczesny has been itching in his pants for a first team start, so much so that he couldn't help but to shout out in frustration in recent weeks about his lack of pitch time. With Wenger sending Mannone on loan to Hull City, it is Szczesny's chance to show what he can do and become our cup keeper. He spoke very well in his pre match interview and said that nerves will not be a problem as he does not suffer from them. Good lad

He had better install the beep test in his garden and get beeping. I want to see this player that Arsene can see. Sounds like fun. He has been taking the piss in the reserves though, making it look like a walk in the park. I am sure he will feature tomorrow, perhaps even start by the sound of Wenger but where will he play as I am sure Nicklas Bendtner will start. I would have suggested that Emmanuel-Thomas would have started on the right but little Theo will be having none of that. The left doesn't really suit JET so Wenger will have to figure that one out

honest, god-fearing, English Arsenal fans, who want him to succeed more than anything) there is something very understandable about this perception and for proof of this we really only need to look back in time at the memorable moments from his football career since joining us in January 2006
