Surely Bentdner must have the biggest ego v talent imbalance in Europe. A truly shocking player.

Simples seems to want away, just doesn't seem bothered.

One of the worst professional footballers i ever seen, if he was 5.5ft he would be struggling to make junior soccer teams in ireland, donkey. Its his size thats got him were he is but he has no talent.

Arse fans really getting at the team, don't like to see that.

Agree with that, Arshavin's confidence is a low ebb so good to see Wenger not playing the popular card and leave him on.

As O'Neill said Arsenal have a large squad so replay is no big deal although the quality of the second team is questionable..

I see young Theo admitted taking a dive today! I should be slagging the wee faker off, but I thought he was fouled, so fair play to him for coming out and holding the hands up!

[Boycey]

What a ridiculous statement he came out with "I'm not the type of player to do it". Eh but you just did.

He's not that bad. He has scored goals for every team he played for at all levels. Scored a classy effort against City at their ground. He has off days and compounds it by not hiding - he'll always want the ball and try to produce something whereas others will disappear. Last year he had a horrendous game in the league to the point that the crowd and Bendtner were finding it hilarious. Barn door and all that. The next game was a Champions' League group game and Wenger played him from the start. He scored a hat-trick.

His ego is inflated and does think he's a better play than what he is but when he's on the field, things tend to happen. He gets into good positions. Wenger often plays him wide right which doesn't help matters.

If I was going home to this every night I'd be pretty cocky too, oh and she's worth close to €500 million




Can't help but think he'll be a success away from the Arsenal, perhaps with a team that plays more direct..

Having been to Denmark she would be only average looking there! though the money would be a major draw for Nicklas

That wasn't Denmark, that was Tarmonbarry.

That game is also a good shot in the arm before the Ipswich game. Hate playing a side with a new manager - they usually play out of their skins.

[STREET FIGHTER]

Arshavins on a slippery slope with the fans.

Hope he can turn it round a bit.

Yea - sorta weird to hear a player to admit that - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/9351043.stm

It wasn't as if it was an obvious dive too.

I like Walcott, honest, articulate and intelligent just a pity he has the first touch of a rapist...

Starting to show a bit of consistency though

What effect will that 7-0 hammering today have on Ipswich for Wednesday? Feel uneasy about it now, although the fact that it's two legs is a help. Hard to believe this competition is getting me nervous.
