Arshavin

His second goal for Arsenal today was outstanding! Similiar to what he did for Russia at the Euros, getting the ball wide on the left, cutting in to the byline, skinning the defender and smashing the ball into the roof of the net! World Class!

I recon Arsenal next season will be fighting for the top 2 spots if they can keep everyone fit. The squad they have is pretty awesome.

His second goal was his first as the opening goal is credited as an own-goal by Ooijer.

I saw it on match of the day and I'm certain it was Arshavin's goal.

I said before the Euro's he's the man to watch, he's quality.

I'd never even heard of him before the Euros.

Even though Ooijer headed it in?!

Watch it again on MotD2. As Arshavin runs to his team mates he is shaking his head and wagging his finger back at Ooijers lying on the ground, saying that he didn't score it, and the replay shows it clearly cannoning off the Blackburn player and into the net.

Who cares? good player no doubt... but one player doesnt make a team. Arsenal have too many players who are ment to be these amazing world class players but they dont play like it. I dont predict them winning anything next season or the season after that to be honest.

I watched a you tube vid with his goals form last season after the Euros. One thing I noticed is how when he gets a one on one with the keeper, at a fairly tight angle, he just smashes into the roof of the net - exactly like he did on Saturday.
Looks like a quality player.
