Well, for the first time in a few seasons, I did not watch an Arsenal match. There was no coverage here and the copies I found out there were shit, so I just went and watch the highlights over at Arsenalist.

Niklas Bendtner’s goal was lovely, but not as lovely as the footwork of on Emmanuel Eboue leading up to the strike. I hear tell Eboue put in quite the performance at right back. It’s so good to see him finding some good form these days. I actually look forward to him coming on the pitch these days. I wonder what this means for Sagna though? Can he move to another part of the pitch? Probably not, but we’ll see.

Captain Cesc Fabregas put in a PK in injury time. On the replays I saw, it looked like a bit of a dive. I really hope I’m wrong about that, but it certainly wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen Cesc go to the mat. Some players are just programmed to go down at the slightest touch when they’re in the area. It’s a shame really. A player of such bountiful talent as Cesc surely doesn’t need to resort to such tactics.

So, a nicely taken three points, Manchester United got beaten by Everton (quite glad we’re done playing them for the season), and Chelsea put in their expected defeat over Wolves at Molyneux. As much as I thought this wouldn’t happen, we are actually still in it. Keep the faith, Gooners!
