Talk is now about Arsenal fighting to stay in the top 4 which to us is rather silly, a quick look at the table [...]

Honest Wenger happy with a point

You would certainly expect David Moyes to be the happier of the two managers after the 2-2 draw at the Emirates, but the way it went with Rosicky salvaging a point in injury time appears to have reversed the managers views, and Arsene Wenger expressed his relief in gaining a draw.
