5 Things We Learnt From The Emirates Cup


1) Aleksandr Hleb is not a winger. He was never one at Stuttgart, and he’s never really looked like one at Arsenal. When he first arrived at the club, he was filling in for Pires and Ljungberg, which meant having the freedom to roam around the pitch almost wherever he wished. However, since the advent of Emmanuel Eboue at full-back, Hleb’s role has become more restricted. He has served primarily as a foil to the Ivorian, combining with Cesc to play the full-back in behind the defence. And with that, disillusionment has caused his work ethic and combative qualities to decline.

The Emirates Cup was the first time I can remember Arsene fielding Hleb in his preferred position, just off the striker. And the Belarussian revelled in it. Playing in the centre gave him room to turn and run at defenders, when he suddenly looked incredibly dangerous. He also showed a greater determination to get into the box, and hell, even scored a goal. I get the feeling that with Hleb, goals are like Pringles. Or Heroin. Once he’s had a bit of them, he’ll want more.

Against Inter, the cameras failed to pick up one interesting moment. When Bendtner replaced Gibbs, Hleb was moved out to the left-wing. Gutted, Hleb looked to the skies before imploring Arsene, “Why?â€

Alternatives are.........

1) My missus has something for the balding actor that played Stewpot in Grange Hill

2) Tommy Flynn's serves the best Guinness!

3) A £5 1 foot long hot dog is not 1 foot long!

4) My Doris does actually love being taken up the arse!

5) God bless Gaynor and all the Gooners that have sailed in her!

Lovely stuff!
