Cap’n Willy, Nicklas Bendtner, Abou Diaby, Armand Traore and Tomas Rosicky quickly returned to the dressing room, although the former two came later on for some light running ballwork

Nasri proved his affinity and ability to come in from the touchline and create as he played a first-time ball into the path of RvP down the left. The Dutchman stood the ball up at the back-post but Ade couldn’t direct his header goalwards

Imagine that nasty, slimy Peter Kenyon whispering sweet nothings in the ears of Jacks parents
