When Arsenal brought Chelsea down 5-3 at Stamford Bridge, it was with a rather maniacal chuckle
that Alan Hansen talked about van Persie. The same man who spoke of Walcott's lack of a
"footballing brain" was finally going to get on Arsenal's back. "Arsenal almost looking like a

Back in February 2011, the Guardian's 'The Gallery' humorously predicted Gary Neville's next
career direction in response to the news of his imminent retirement. Unfortunately, he became
neither a Tellytubby or an Egyptian rebel instead, replacing Andy Gray as the man tasked with
analysing games for Sky Sports; and, boy, has he done it well.

players who are probably the best in the Premier League.
