Arsenal 1-0 Wolves...
Well last week, a last minute goal broke our hearts, and all but put paid to our title aspirations, this week it changed everything again. With 0-0 on the scoreboard, and a minute left on Scottish time (as my lad calls it) and it was down to the saviour of our season to save our blushes. The mercurial Nickals Bendtner headed the winner and kept us in touch with the top two.
Watch the goal here...
With a proper rotated, makeshift side, we had struggled to break Wolves down and with only five games left, and literally NO margin for error, :Bendter timed: his winner to perfection. Karl Henry was sent off for the visitors following a tackle on Rosicky, and chances went begging as the game wore on. With Chelsea beating Man United earlier in the day, things are now wide open, with two homes and three aways each, anything can happen:
US:
14/3 Spurs a
18/3 Wigan a
24/3 Man City h
1/5 Blackburn a
9/5 Fulham h
Chelsea:

Spurs a
Stoke h

Man U:

Vital Three Points - Wenger...
Following todays late, late winner, Sir Wenger has praised his/our squad for their never say die attitude.
He said: "They had a great keeper, they are a good side, they defended very well and we had chances but we couldn't score. The longer you leave it the more it gives them belief and they defended in a resilient, intelligent way and we needed to be patient..."
"No, never, because I know my team never gives up..." he added when asked if he thought the chance to grab a winner had gone...
Ramsey Speaks on Shawcross...
Aaron Ramsey has finally broken his silence on Ryan Shawcross, writing in today's match programme. He's said he's not been in touch with Shawcross, and just wants to get better, he also says he feels the Stoke defender should have backed out of the tackle, as he was clearly never going to win the ball cleanly...
"I don't believe he wanted to break my leg, but I think he wanted to go through the ball and me - to take me out and make sure I felt the tackle. He was caught out of position a little, but he could definitely have changed his mind before making the tackle, realising that he was not going to get there and so not committing..."
"He has left me a voicemail and a text message, but I just want to concentrate on my recovery for now..."
