After Sami Nasri skipped through their daffodil defence thoughts turned to more serious matters, writes Nigel Bidmead.
Like; why does Wenger allow Nicklas Bendtner to chew gum during games? The almost-great Dane masticated throughout his hat-trick. Surely he is only a bump on the head away from choking on his ego.
And; at first glance it appeared that two or three of the lads had disregarded the tradition of wearing the same shirts. Captain for the night Manuel Almunia chose long sleeves but Clichy, Song and Diaby seemed to be wearing short sleeves. On closer inspection the three would-be outlaws had their sleeves rolled up. It was a metaphor for the evening.
And; does Bacary Sagna have the most ridiculous Barnet in football? While watching dvd’s of his exploits his grandchildren are bound to ask why he was wearing a plaited and dyed mop.
At 3-0 you are allowed to have these thoughts. At 5-0 you are permitted to write them down.
