How ex-North London seems to be going down in Spain..

I've just seen the highlights of the last round of La Liga games and as it seems to be a hot bed of ex-Arsenal players at the moment and I have to blog about anything other than Eboué here are some thoughts on what I saw/heard.
At Villereal there are two old gooners, one we all know about and wish he was still at Arsenal (or had at least stayed on a while longer) and there's Pascal Cygan too. Our long lost friend Robert Pires scored an extremely strange goal (after 0.45) in a 3-3 draw after being 0-3 down. Our old and not so missed French centre half wasn't playing and after his two mistakes last week I'm not too surprised.
Meanwhile over at the Camp Nou our top goal scorer seems to have finally made a real impact with a hat trick against Valencia for Barcelona. Henry was, of course, helped by that ex-gooner who divided (and still does) opinion whilst at Arsenal, Hleb. He did manage to show glimpses of his Arsenal form by finding himself one on one and never looking like scoring!
Oh and one other strange North London to Spain bombshell, Ramos to Real Madrid - blimey I didn't realise that they rewarded such incompetence so highly.

Did Bobby play well ?
Great blog! This is my first visit and I believe this wont be the first time. Seems like the players of Gunners is equally attracted to the spanish way of football. The League of Iberia is always looking toward player with foremost teqniqual skills. The likes of Fabregas wishes to play in a more attractive fotball league were they are allowed to focuse on attacking fotball. More people will go in the sam direction. But I dont agree about Ramos. To me he seems like a very good manager who has succeded in about half the clubs he managed. Tottenham did wrong by selling there two great strikers just before the window closed. No wonder wy the balance went out of order. You have to look at Ramos statistic overall to judge his performance. If something is to be questioned about is competences it has to be hes coaching skills in times of misfortune. However in Real he may work with better material just as he had in Seville. Would love to see the Gunners become the best of the Premier League!
