Thought I'd dedicate the article to the guys who have really made a difference this season not making such a huge impact as an RVP, Koscielny or Ox.
But instead those who had the one-off moments that helped us somehow finish 3rd in this crazy season.
Henry - Just incredible, absolute legend who came to us late January when we were absolutely appalling and reinvigorated us. Those two winners against Leeds and Sunderland will live long in the memory and I think we all know this isn't the last we will see of the great man.
Benny - Played very little at the start of the season but has really put a shift in and has come up with some vital moments of magic just when we needed it. Always puts a shift in and was brilliant yesterday. Unlikely to stay but many thanks Benny, he will always be remembered fondly.
Rosicky - Deadwood. That's what he was. However since that goal against Spurs he has become reinvigorated, filling the place of Ramsey as his form went completely downhill around January. Been a bit lacklustre the last few games but has really added something to our attack just when it was needed and his upturn in form coincided with our winning streak around February/March
Santos and Gibbs - Our two LB this season, neither has been outstanding due to injury but they have both played their part. Santos has always looked a threat going forward especially with no one holding down a place on the LW. Gibbs' block yesterday was just stunning and even if he had done nothing else all season, I would still be satisfied with him.
So, thoughts and your nomination for unsung hero or heroic little moment!

Ox? Really?
Anyway, Arteta has to get a lot of credit. Rosicky for his form since the spurs game.

For me, Benny and Rosicky take it. And as disappointing as he's been lately, Song has dinked enough passes through to RVP to give us the goals that ultimately made a difference - not least at Everton.

It was based on the plaudits they have got for their contribution. Arteta has and Ox got a lot of attention so that's why I omitted them.

I was referring to you saying that he has had a 'huge impact'. Where I don't think he has at all, he looks promising but to list him with RVP and Koscielny is crazy.

Yes, I would give a special mention to Song and Tommy V who have produced vital moments of brilliance despite their other flaws this year.

Personally I would go for Henry. Those two goals were special and after his one against Leeds the atmosphere at the Emirates has been so much better. He's gave us such an incredible lift!
