The most pleasing aspect of the evening was the return of Tomas Rosicky, he started for the Czech’s against San Marino and was replaced before the hour. I was fuming at one point as I read that Rosicky had suffered a bang to the knee and could have gone off injured

Whoever said that International football was a waste of time obviously doesn’t have a clue.. ahem, err. Ok, perhaps that was me and we could well do without it but everything went pretty well for the Arsenal last night unless Arsene comes out with some late surprise bad news.

A few members of the Gooner squad managed to find the net last night which will do those players the world of good. Nicklas Bendtner managed to score his second goal in consecutive games for his country, he managed to get ahead of the goalkeeper after a long ball forward and flick his header over the keeper and into the back of the net. Lets hope that this can spark Bendtner into achieving his goal scoring target.

His confidence will be high right now and this could influence Wenger’s decision for the weekend. Having played both matches Wenger may have been tempted to rest him and given the role to someone fresher.

Cesc Fabregas looked like a striker with his side footed effort into the corner of the net for Spain in their 3-0 victory against someone or other.

Cesc also made an assist for the second Spanish goal. He played the full 90 minutes which is ok as he needs game time after his recent injury.

The most pleasing aspect of the evening was the return of Tomas Rosicky, he started for the Czech’s against San Marino and was replaced before the hour. I was fuming at one point as I read that Rosicky had suffered a bang to the knee and could have gone off injured but that was not the case, well the injury part anyway, the knee knock if true. The Czech coach had an agreement with Wenger that he wouldn’t play more than an hour.

Coach Ivan Hasek said:

“I’m happy above all that Tomas could play, that he was ready for the game, I had a deal with Wenger to keep Tomas on the pitch no longer than an hour.”

So he could well feature against Manchester City on the weekend, I think it is pretty unlikely that he will start the game but depending on how the game goes he could get some pitch time late in the second half. I want to know if he will be played in the top three of middle three, he certainly is capable of playing in both areas but as we know it is the managers thoughts that are important.

So now to England vs Croatia, I have a few points and thoughts about the game and what surrounded it.

Firstly, I thought the treatment for Eduardo was expected yet disgraceful. Stupid England supporters lapping up what the media have been feeding them. Eduardo is now some hate figure whilst angel Wayne Rooney is a saint. So well done the sporting press, good job once again.

Well done for Eduardo for getting himself on the score sheet, he will need that after all that has happened in these last few weeks. I hope he can do that for us against all the abuse that he will get from now on.

Fabio Capello is a fantastic manager who has been successful pretty much everywhere he has been. He has turned a bunch of over hyped egotistical players into a solid hardworking team who have won eight games straight in the qualifiers.

I may have very little respect for the England players but I have plenty of respect for Mr Capello.

So hopefully we have a clean slate ahead of the City game, well clean slate minus Nasri and Djourou which is bloody good for us.

Before I go, I would like to show those who haven’t seen it yet but our good ol Dennis hasn’t lost his touch. He scored a beauty for the Ajax pensioners.

Match thoughts and predictions tomorrow, perhaps a daily blog also. Enjoy your day.
