Ramsey’s injury broke my heart. To see such a talented kid lying there with his nascent career flashing before his eyes was too much to take. All the moreso because us Gooners know how tough it is for one of our own to come back from such trauma

If you was to ask me who I thought was the player of the season before I looked at the figures then I would have said our captain Cesc Fabregas who has contributed to most of our goals this season

The much criticised Manuel Almunia having the 45 minutes of his life was responsible for the teams going in at half time at 0-0. Arshavin only lasted 27 minutes, Cesc was clearly playing with an injury from the Birmingham City

The Chavs hadn't conceded at home all season and won 5-0 against Galatasaray while Figo, Rivaldo et al were giving Arsenal a footballing lesson in the week

There is a justifiable argument to suggest that Denilson was at fault for all three goals. After Nani's unbelievable bit of skill to leave Nasri and Clichy standing around looking as gormless as the Chuckle brothers
