Yeah Van Persie had it saved I think.
Yeah RVP had it saved.
Think Rooney also missed a penalty in that game. Or that might have been another time against us.

That was a very strange season, another mind the gap race with Spurs but it was for third place rather than 4th in case Chelsea won the champions league (man that still depresses me today).
Had some shockingly bad results and some really good ones too
Winning 5-3 at Stamford Bridge, injury time winner from RVP at Anfield, late winner for Vermaelen against Newcastle, the 2-0 down, 5-2 up game against Spurs.
Glasner is insisting that Guehi going nowhere
That would be good news for us and all Liverpool's rivals, however Parish has made it clear that no one will be allowed to run down their contract and after some scenes I saw after their game against Liverpool (where Guehi practically blanked him), I wonder why he still thinks he can work with him.
Though it's probable he's got the trophy itch now and wants to be in a position to make it a regular thing.
I am very very pleased about Eze. I don't think I can remember a transfer that was so desired by Arsenal fans, or that has generated such excitement and anticipation. He is a real talent, and what's more by all accounts a good and intelligent human being. His journey arc and connection to Arsenal is special, and while I understand HZC's point that he doesn't fit in exactly with what we percieved to be this team's requirements, I think he is good enough essentially to create his own role, and is what we've been crying out for in terms of creativity, unpredictability and goal threat. I think he raises the ceiling and elevates our team.
At last - real excitement and promise, and I think I've said before (and agree with others above) that this makes our transfer season an excellent one.
I'm not sure I quite buy that this was all done in lightening quick time. There are reports saying that this deal was already lined up before Havertz's injury, and that the injury was the final incentive, not the only one. This makes sense to me in the circumstances (perhaps we were holding on for outgoing sales and had to take the plunge without these on the Havertz news?). Either way, Eze is the first team cover that we need in Havertz's absence. I'm even hearing today that Havertz's injury muight not be as bad as we all feared...
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Yes I have heard that about Havertz as well
Good, I want Arteta to have a selection headache but one that results from having too many choices
I heard they're going to try and treat Havertz's issue with physiotherapy but if it doesn't respond, it'll need surgery.
Heard the same earlier....no one is going to be sure till like 2 or 3 weeks.
