   A good assessment. RVP was selfish and Bendtner improves from week to week.

   ‘I think that our grip is almost completely secure on 4th spot’ lol…urm its only been two weeks since we’ve been 4th…villa have tough games now..but our tough games come at the end..the likes of utd chelsea and stoke in the last three games (albeit stoke at home doesnt seem bad, but they are in a relegation battle, it wont be easy)

   Arsenal takes some time to get into the match, and this trend must disappear quickly, so we could start on our old trend of finishing teams in the first 20 minutes, the team played well in the second half and deserved to win with some beautiful football that is a joy to watch.
   On the other hand I feel Wenger’s biggest problem is to know who is his real first team players, the competition is nice and well, I’m not worried by the competition between Arshavine, Rosicky, Nasri and Walcot as our quality wont drop with any of them on the field, but I’m losing my mind from the surprises that our 3 young midfield players (Diaby-Denilson-Song), as sometimes they seems average and sometimes the play superbly like world class players.
   People would have different opinions on who should partner Fabregas when he returns, I for one voted for Dibay, then turned for song, then for Diaby again, even Denilson has his moments and looks class.
   In the end we seems to have a very talented group, that would go big in history if we win the League title, I know it is a very long shot but mathematically it could be done, who knows.
   Sheers for the double.

   Somewhat shocked on your comments about Diaby. He is definitely the weak link in midfield because he can’t pass and tries to dribble too much it the wrong situations. I lost count of the amount of times he lost the ball through trying to beat the same player five times and when he did pass, it was invariably off target. Arsenal are a team that gets everyone involved in a move. One player off his game and moves continually break down. I can’t wait for Fab to return and until then, I’d rather see Song in midfield, because at leat he passes the ball.
   I also thought Gail had a gr8 game at last, and I feel you’ve marked him too low. Other than that, I agree with your assessment, especially on Bendtnar who continues to prove and does not hide. He’s a brave boy and I liked the way his name was chanted when he was subbed.

   Diaby does not deserved a 7.5 rating. Besides the goal, which, to his credit, was greatly executed and essentially the winning goal, he made a lot of mistakes during the match. His passing was wayward at times and his decision-making in the final third was pretty bad. I would give him a 6, at most.

   Although Diaby was impressive, he still needs to work on his decision making. He dribbles to much which 1) slows down the attacking move and 2) puts himself at risk of losing the ball. Good win today though.

   Up the Arsenal!

   There is one line which Arsenal fans on these sites always use when analysing Song, Denilson, Eboue and Diaby:

   I’ve lost count of the number of times that…

   [Insert]
   1. They lost the ball
   2. Their passes were intercepted
   3. They didn’t chase back
   4. They lost out in a tackle

   These are young and developing players (bar Eboue) who are still learning game and have had to hold up Arsenal’s midfield with little to no experience surrouding them. Admittedly Diaby hasnt improved as much as we would have hoped but he has got amazing talent, and it looks like Arsenal’s season could well be a very successful one.

   Harsh re Diaby…at times he provides something very different to our other midfielders & gets beyond the forwards. He definitely has ability its just a question of getting the best out of him.

    So Billy gets a yellow.

    What exactly would a toon player have had to do to get one?

    Apparently a deliberately aimed forearm to the face doesn’t warrant a yellow (never mind the red that it actually should have been).

    Double rugby tackle on Gael?

    Nope, not that either.

    But Billy got one for a clumsy challenge.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    The ref is wanker and hates Arsenal just as much as those three muppets on MOTD, throw in the FA for it’s moronic pursuit of Cesc and you have a stacked deck.

    Forearm smash to the face of Arshavin, double rugby tackle of Clichy, not a card from the ref, a word from the FA, not a mention on MOTD, you can see where i’m coming from.
