Eduardo Makes His Senior Return; Bendtner Loses His Mind.
By: chris | February 16th, 2009An 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.

Good on Eduardo, it’s fabulous to see him back in action. Couldn’t have asked for a better comeback.
And thank you for providing my daily dose of laughter with Bendter’s comments. He should be happy. At least now his crappy performances can be explained by his lack of sanity.
This video sums up his entire career.

Bendtner specifically denied those comments today on TV and sounded very reasonable. He played well today, certainly better than Adebayor’s recent form and linked up well with Eduardo and RVP. 9 goals so far as a bit player.. and Adebayor has only 12 after playing much much more.

Bendtner is scoring most of his goals against sub par talent in the cups. He isn’t scoring against the top EPL teams only 3 of his goals have come in the EPL play if i am not mistaken. Good Young talent, but he shouldn’t be starting quiet yet. RVP on the other hand now that he is healthy is showing he is the man right now for my Gunners.

The biggest weakness Bendtner has is his first touch.
Looks so awkward in tight spots and nearly every time manages to lose the pass. He has a fantastic shot when he’s in control and not nervous.
Welcome back Eduardo and so long Adebayor.Posted from

I think Bendtner has an inflated self image like some of you stated, we need him to be confident yes but not cocky. Adebayor is a good striker though not technically gifted as TH14, but he deserves some credit. I find it hard to understand how many have already forgotten the contribution he made to the team last season. He should be getting better I agree but obviously this season isn’t one of his better. Hop off the Man’s sac. Our team needs total revamp and restructuring. The league is catching up with us thus forcing us to change our formula. We have the right components but so many of the wrong as well. When we broke into the league in the early 2000s with Wegner the league didn’t know what the hell hit. We were unstoppable, now everyone knows what we’re capable of and have figured out our weakness. We need a whole new strategy. Eboue is a failure and should be offloaded as soon as the transfer window opens to some unknown league where no one can watch him make an ass of himself. The conflict existing in our dressing room should be dealt with head on rather than brushed under the rug. Also, it would be best to ascertain some depth so that players aren’t constantly asked to play out of position. And f%$# Bendtner if he thinks he’s better than the team. Also, send people like Song and Traore who obviously aren’t ready for first team play on loan. F*&^ the politics lets just do the right thing.
