That was amazing. The movement, the control, the finish. The exaggerated sulks, the slow-motion running, the memorable celebration. It was like he never left. If you’re going to use the 34-year-old’s goal as evidence that Chamakh/Arshavin/[insert attacker here] isn’t up to it, that it shows what this squad currently lack, I don’t begrudge you. But [...]

The revolving doors were spinning like [...]
