Niklas Bendtner turned jeers into cheers after his classy finish put us within eight points of leaders Liverpool.
To be honest, it was a rubbish game with one bright light, Robin Van Persie.
The first twenty minutes were quite encouraging, there was urgency pace and good passing but it always ended in nothing and by half time people were totally and utterly fed up. There was one comedy moment when Capi Toure and Manuel Almunia collided with each other on the edge of the box, you have to think what a fuss would have been made if that ended up a Bolton goal. There would have been a lynching party out looking for them.
I will talk more about Van Persie’s game later on in the post but the critical moment arrived after Van Persie clipped a brilliant ball into the path of the onrushing Niklas Bendtner and he slip home a really nice finish to silence the boo’s that rung out earlier when he misplaced a pass, they were pretty harsh i thought.
Now, Van Persie. Without him we would be fighting a relegation battle at the 
moment, he is in fantastic form at the moment and he is winning us games on his own. I do believe that with a whole injury free season behind him he could become one of the worlds best players, he is without doubt one of the worlds most naturally gifted footballers. Far more so than the fake Ferrari smashing Ronaldo.
His first touch is awesome and there are few players with a better one, his close control is just superb and he knows where the net is as well. But he is such a talented player he can create goals out of nothing and score them as well, just check the Liverpool and Chelsea goals, he is capable of turning the game on its head in a split second and this is bound to be the year the world takes notice of such a gifted footballer.
He is our bright light, there is no doubting it. He has been plagued with injuries but now he really is starting to get a lot of games under his belt and as long as he is cleverly managed by Arsene he will hopefully stay injury free all season.
One thing i did watch yesterday was Match Of The Day, after much laughing at Alan ‘hard nut’ Shearer’s orange fake tan, i saw Jay Simpson give a very good account of his talents at West Brom. He does look a very good player and drew praise from the Arsenal hating pannel they always have.
There is not much more kicking around today, tune in tomorrow for the latest.
Til Then.

bendtner didnt get one pass wrong mate.he got 3 or 4.hes sh..
Betner always gets his passes wrong but he without his finish it would have been a draw. The best player on the pitch was Vela, he actually did something with the ball. As for Van being the best stricker in the world, his technical abilities put him up there with the best, maybe better than the fairy Ronaldo, but to be honest, have you ever watched Robiniho play, his techinal abilities shit on all the strikers in the Premiership
Compare Van Persie to Messi, Eto´o, Villa or Robinho and he comes up short I´m afraid. Not in terms of touch or dribbling skill but in terms of pace and goals scored.
haterz
yes bendtner did get the goal but he should have got one with his first touch(free header on the free kick) and adebayor should have done better with his chance as wel, het took an age to shoot the ball n took 2 touches before shooting(still think we should have sold him for 60m dollars n got benzema or hunteelar).
nasri needs to play in the middle , vela on the left and ramsey on the right with song in the holding role.
denislon,ebue and diaby make me wanna throw up with their passing
our defence though looked much better with jd20 who will improve much more
cheers
the game came to life with the introduction of vela. he is turning out to be an impact substitute like walcott was last season. and van persie was jus amazinggg! just keep performing like that consistently!
