The problem with playing out a scrappy win against a UEFA Cup quality team is that one has to sit through Chelski, Spuds and Manure among others before Match of the Day show the Arsenal highlights.

Scrappy, or possibly lucky. All we know is that Mannone is providing Manuel from Pamplona with some competition. Assuming the dodgy haired one is ever recalled to the first team.

Van Persie scored his second goal of the season. Imagine if he scored for every time he showed off, he'd be the league's top scorer!
