Yup, we've been wondering why we bothered to take Chamakh on loan. He's made one or two brief sub appearances, and that's it. We're delighted with mid-table safety our first season back, and have serious prospects of reaching the giddy heights of ninth!
Van Persie's second tonight was a top drawer classic, one of the sweetest strikes of the ball you'll ever see, a serious goal of the season contender.
Not for me to speculate about what's gone tits up with Wenger's grand scheme, but it certainly looks like a change would do the club good. Look what a sudden change of manager has done for the Mackems?
Ajax dropped a clanger last Friday by only drawing at home to Heerenveen, so the lead has been reduced to four points, which still has to be enough. It was cool seeing De Boer, Van Basten and Bergkamp on the sidelines!
edit - here ya go, Gooner.
