This was copied word for word from World of Arsenal, and we don’t allow that. Fortunately Billy “The Dog” is free tonight, and will be visiting the perpetrator of this awful crime. Not that I am threatening or anything you understand Mr Mayor, but you know how it is.

Brilliant. Kudos to Billy for putting into satirical words the thoughts so many of us have had.

My own player grades:

Fab 7 – Could he have done better with the goal?
Gilbert 7 – Solid.
Gibbs 9 – Did Kuyt get a touch?
Senderos 6 – Not to bad at all.
Silvestre 6 – Ditto. Did nothing disastrous, which is a bonus.
Eastmond 9 – Star of the evening. What a performance!!!
Ramsey 7 – As someone above said, bit of a strange game. At times he looked otherworldly. At other times he seemed a bit lax.
Merida 8 – Cracking goal. More of that please, vicar.
Nasri 6 – mature and dependable, but still not match-fit.
Bendtner 7 – At times a donkey, but terrific finish for the winner.
Eduardo 7 – Always busy.

A good game last night for most of our players. Ramsey had, I wouldn’t call it a bad game, but a strange game. He made some good passes with his visions but he gave the ball away many times last night. Gibbs and Gilbert played awesome though, and Merida was class. And who said Bendtner can’t finish??? More of the same please!!!

oh btw, while we do previews which are great, can someone also do a post match analysis of some sort or just a player rating thing. I think that’d be absolutely brilliant.
