so eduardo's ban has been overturned.

adebayor is being charged for violent conduct and improper conduct.

you start to think maybe there is some hope in this world after all.

in case you think people who leave arsenal can make it, think again:

ashley cole never really hit the heights of his arsenal career, and it is because england doesnt have any left-backs that he is first choice there.

pires is past his prime, but always still a class act.

henry struggled in his first season with barcelona, and although he won everything last season, you know he wasn't the same player anymore. still a great player, but not the same player as he was at arsenal.

these are the three who still managed to enjoy success, although you would agree that they had peaked at arsenal. all others have slipped into oblivion.

the only players who have left arsenal and really established themselves further are the ladies.
