The Norwich game wasn’t pleasant viewing, was it? No.. It was bordering on farcical; almost pantomime-like defending and a bewildering lack of concentration when there was much at stake. Fortunately, the footballing gods saw fit to grant us yet another chance to end the season on a good note. Proceedings should really have been finished and secured a long time ago, but the concept is simple enough
how we should play Chamakh and go more direct to avoid the pitch but isn't that just playing the oppositions game?

Since joining Arsenal over Manchester United back in 2008, Aaron Ramsey has had somewhat of an eventful time at the club. A bright youngster who was developing quickly, had a great attitude and then suffered from the Shawcross assult, had his place in the team taken by his Caring Cup team mate who had made a similar impact and then got his place back again
Is there room for Bendtner and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas in this squad? Does one of them have to leave to allow the other to progress in their career?

JET was once again brushing past the opposition with both skill and strength. His third was a delightful clipped curling effort beyond the outstretched dive of the keeper.

With so many forward players ahead of him in the first team right now, the logical thing seems like sending him on loan, perhaps that will happen but maybe it would happen after our Carling Cup game with Newcastle United
