I've kept this bottled for a while but seriously, it's time to let the stench out. The former Chelsea no. 1 is way past his prime and he offers minimum resistance and particularly poor services. His howler took the game away from Arsenal-- not that they had much of a say anyway.

But such mistakes are unpardonable at this level and in tight games or even big games for that matter, it is the mistakes that count and make a difference. And in Petr Cech, the Gunners have someone who is as prone to error as a panda is to falling.
The wait for the record 200th cleansheet will go on and looks like it will be quite a while before the Czech international finally hits the milestone.
That being said, Arsene Wenger needs to sort out his priorities and bring a world-class talent between the sticks in the summer. Pay that money, sign someone up. Because we know Arsenal are in desperate need of one.
