Arsenal were changing up the gears and Bendtner found himself in the left channel a minute later, he crossed outside of the right foot for Nasri who was sliding in but couldn't connect with the ball
We really need to keep the main players together, champions league or no champions league. We cannot afford to have the same situation as last summer
I have a vague thought that previous teams were eager to score early and ran out of steam, or perhaps I have just made that up. I don't know but what I do know is that our slow tempo adds to our problems
Arshavin pulled up a little before the half time whistle and we feared that he may have picked up an injury that would have been typical of our club over the last few years
I stick by what I said at the start of the season and that was that we were capable of winning the league this season. I didn't bank on the amount of chopping and changing our side has had to endure over the course of the season
I think Andrey will be giving a chance from the start in the place of Vela, unless Arsene wants to rest Nasri as he has played a few games in a row lately
I have been trying to second guess Arsene Wenger about his selection on the weekend, when I say selection I am pretty much talking about Arshavin. My guess is that Eboue will not start, he will be saved for Roma and it is out of Vela and Arshavin
The club also faces financial meltdown as they could miss out on a Champions League place. Fiorentina and Genoa are chasing the last european spot and have caused Milan lots of problems and it seems it will be another trophyless year for Dad Ancelotti's army
But poor sweet Taylor got a blanket put over him with a hot water bottle along with a teddy bear to snuggle up to from the media. It made me sick. Ok, I think I better stop before steam comes out of my ears and I don't think that is a good idea right now
Eduardo showed his class a minute later with a superb outside of the foot half volley pass into Vela's path on the left wing. Vela ran in towards the Cardiff goal and fired in a low drive that was saved by Heaton in the Cardiff goal
