And so he should, the last thing the players needed after their midweek exertion's was to play the last hour with ten men. Those early three goals ended up being crucial.

Hleb wants to follow Flamini out of the Emirates, surprise, surprise

At the end of the day footballers want to win trophies not gain plaudits for the way they play the game. Of course if you can do both great, but with the two Milan clubs offering to double their money and with seemingly a better chance of silverware of offer than under Wenger at Arsenal i can't say i am too surprised one has left and another wants to go. When the press were salivating over Wengers team halfway through the season, for me and others it was just a matter of time before they blew up. To be fair to Wenger and his players it took a lot longer than i expected, but happen it did. If things don't look like improving trophy wise for them after next season i fully expect Fabregas to end up at Barca or Real Madrid.

You don't want any firm to monopolize its field but it has to be said Google does a pretty good job.
