Three goals in seven second half minutes gave Arsenal fans the comeback they were all craving for and the team a trip to the north east to look forward to for the 5th round of the FA Cup. It was the kind of schizo self-sabotaging performance we are not strangers to from the Arsenal but [...]
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 [...]
