Actually, on February 21st I wrote:

“Bendtner’s form is paramount to whether we win anything this season. We don’t have Van Persie and we know playing Arshavin or Eduardo as the target man doesn’t work. Bendtner didn’t have his shooting boots on yesterday but hopefully that will come with more starts - his goal yesterday would have done him the world of good.”

And on the 11th February:

“Then the others against Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic and Blackburn Rovers will be fights, make no mistake about it. Whether we can withstand their physical tactics will decide how our season will pan out. They will try to bully us and the form of Nicklas Bendtner could determine where we end up in the league. He looked decent last night against Liverpool and our form of late proves that without a target man then we’re toothless. If Bendtner puts himself about and allows players like Rosicky, Arshavin and Nasri to play then we’ve got a chance. The fitness of Diaby is also important as he has the physical presence and has a knack of scoring important goals.

“In my eyes, the only chance we have of pushing right to the end is if Bendtner stays fit for the rest of the season and starts every week.”

I haven’t knocked Bendtner or his performances since he’s come back from injury. He’s vital to whether we win anything, I said it back then and I say it now. And as I thought, he’s delivered.

Yes, you are very, very pretty :p

It’s good to know that Arsenal provided the final nail in the coffin!

A month ago you would never has seen this type of post in any shape or form (I’m not singling out this Blog by the way).
The boy was being lambasted from all corners of the emirates just a very short time ago, It worries me the actual level of football knowledge of some Arsenal supporters, as they all seem to have forgotten how well he was playing before he got injured @ the start of the season.
Don’t get me wrong he’s not the most talented forward we have ever had @ the club & could do with improving his finishing.
But the boy has a lot of balls & mussel + he’s the only asset we have in the air in a forward position @ the club, & he’s a real team player too something we have been missing in spades for a lot of years now @ my club, so come-on get on the boy ALL OF YOU please!!!

I don’t think it’s not about what can or cannot be technically referred to as a “tie”, I’m pretty the referrence was about the old cliche of “every game being a cup tie” from now on. Therefore our next league game is our next proverbial cup tie!
