Overcoming old demons
Understandably, the grotesque sight of Aaron Ramsey’s distorted limb left the shell-shocked Arsenal players so utterly aghast, that just as it did at St Andrews almost two years to the day, it seemed as if our season was about to implode before our very eyes.

Or, with the majority having already endured the anguish of Eduardo’s atrocious injury, maybe we refused to entertain the idea of an encore of the Birmingham debacle. Instead of meekly lying down like lambs and inviting Stoke to add insult to Aaron’s harrowing injury, we stood up to be counted.
