Aaron Ramsey's cameo appearance in our "class versus cash" victory over Abu Dhabi Oil Inc was not his greatest moment in an Arsenal shirt.

He had slotted in pretty well after coming on in the 78th minute to replace Yossi "Busy Bee" Benayoun.

But what we will all remember is the moment at the death where he was through on goal with a chance to make it 2-0 and with Oxlade-Chamberlain and van Persie waiting in the middle to side foot the ball into an empty net.

The run had to end sometime and to me the result wasn't as much a surprise as it might have been to some people. Games at this level are very tight and often decided by minor details. Since this is a late post I don't want to dwell on too many aspects of the game that would have been difficult to take for many.

Manchester United's 2-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates yesterday is proving to be one really costly win. The Red Devils will be without 4 of their first team players as they won the first of 4 huge away games.

Rooney, Nani, Carrick and Jones are in danger of missing out on United's FA Cup away fixture to Liverpool on Saturday after the quartet suffered injuries during the game.

There are rumours that Arsene Wenger is considering giving Robin Van Persie a break this weekend against Blackburn to try and freshen him up for the three upcoming away games against Sunderland, AC Milan and (probably) Sunderland again. Van Persie has scored 21 goals in 23 games this season, but his shooting hasn't been quite [.

Chelsea's caretaker coach Roberto Di Matteo is confident that his team can make it to the semi final of the the Champions League for the first time since 2009, when they were controversially knocked out by Barcelona.

The rivalry between the two teams dates back to the 2004/2005 season when Chelsea under Mourinho at the time felt aggrieved by the referees decision to send Didier Drogba off after his side had taken a shocking lead at the Nou Camp.
