Who did What Where

Niklas Bendtner hit the headlines again last night, sidefooting home the winner against an understrength German side. It’s another landmark goal for a young striker who’ll be hoping to make his mark at Arsenal next season.
I can’t pretend I’m the striker’s biggest fan. Whenever I’ve seen him play, he’s looked lazy and a little slow. However, he is a big strong guy, and he’s only young. Looking a little bit like Frankenstein’s monster has never been a hindrance to several other top players (one of whom we’re linked with again this morning).
Another young Gunner, Abou Diaby, started for France for the first time in their friendly against Austria, adding to his substitute appearance at the weekend. By all accounts, he did rather well. It’s frightening how similar he and Lassana Diarra are to Patrick Vieira and Claude Makelele respectively.
Elsewhere, Cesc Fabregas was again on the bench for Spain, meaning that he’ll be suitably rested ahead of Anfield on Saturday.
Finally, it’s quite fun to be an Arsenal fan watching England struggle – none of our players are anywhere near the horrific mess that McClaren & Co have created. Bye for now.
