Arsenal vs. Wolverhampton

1-0, Premier League, Emirates, 3/4 -10
Bendtner 90 + 4

Well, that was quite a nightmare game.. We had like 25 goalscoring opportunities, and we didn't manage to score until the very last minute! You could think of it as a good sign of belief and such in the squad, but I see it more as a concern that we can't manage to score when we have 25 opportunities..

But we played really well and Walcott was the big star of the first half, but we just couldn't break the deadlock, even though we had tons of chances!
In the second half things pretty much took off in the same way, us having tons of chances and not being able to get it in, when suddenly Karl Henry harshly tackled Rosicky, and recieved a red card!
You could think that that would have opened things up for us, but it just made it even harder since they brought in two defenders that replaced more offensive players.

So we just kept trying and trying, but failed to convert, and to be honest I'd lost hope by the time Sagna delivered a good cross that Bendtner got his head to, and once again he has kept us in the title race with a last minute winner!! He has been critized a lot during his career, but he really is growing to be a star striker for us!

United and Chelsea clashed at Old Trafford earlier today, and Chelsea got away with a 2-1 victory, I'd hoped for a draw, but you can't get it all, so now we're three points after leaders Chelsea, and one point after United, we're still in it!

Injury Update;
-Nothing new, Cesc came in with crutches to watch the game with fellow injured players, Djourou, Merida and Arshavin.
