“Tonight I dine on Turtle Soup…”

As I’m sure you can infer from today’s marvellously clear head-line, we lost.
Two cock-ups, one from Djourou, and another from skipper Manuel Almunia, allowed Avid Merrion to score within 19 seconds.
After that, there were 90 fairly dull minutes, though Robin Van Persie managed to stir things up a bit. With his elbow.
On the positive side, Philippe Senderos put in his best performance in an Arsenal shirt, whilst Seb Larsson and Mathieu Flamini were tidy and tenacious in the centre of the park.
Flamini, a player I’ve been championing for some time now, has a significant chance to start against Birmingham. Whatever the team put out, it is now absolutely vital that we win.
Roll on Saturday.
