Eduardo Makes His Senior Return; Bendtner Loses His Mind.

An undeniably magnificent return for Eduardo as his long-awaited return to the Arsenal first team saw him leave the Emirates pitch with style, flair and a couple of goals in his back pocket. It only took 21 minutes for him to get onto the score sheet after playing a painfully simple and simply efficient 1-2 with Carlos Vela, nodding the ball into the corner of the net. His second came in the 60th via a simple penalty, spearheading Arsenal’s 4-0 victory over Cardiff City, with Robin van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner also getting into the act.

Speaking of Nicklas Bendtner…..

….his talent has been likened to that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and apparently the Dane thinks just as highly of himself as the vice-chancellor of arrogance (head cheese plays in Manchester). Maybe it’s a Scandinavian thing?

“It does not really matter to me who is fit and available,” said Bendtner. “I should start every game, I should be playing every minute of every match and always be in the team.”

Or maybe he’s done lost his mind.

Also, Nicky isn’t a huge fan of Arshavin – but that’s only through ignorance:

“I’ve never seen Arshavin. I did not watch Euro 2008,” he said. “I’ve no idea what sort of player he is.”

You know, with the volume of Arshavinmania enveloping London throughout the last month and h subsequent purchase, one would think Bendtner would’ve hit up the YouTubers (or the piles and piles of tapes in Arsene’s office) to see just what the buzz was all about and what type of player Andrei is – and thus what type of balls he’d be feeding old Nicklas.

At least that’s what a first name on the team sheet, start to finish player would be doing.
