Vingear + brown paper = Eduardo’s wonky leg fixed at last

Arsene Wenger, Tony Adams and Dennis Bergkamp were in the crowd last night to watch Arsenal Reserves take on Portsmouth Reserves at Barnet’s Underhill Stadium.

This was no routine reserve match on a cold Tuesday evening. It was notable for the return of Eduardo da Silva, for the first time since February, when a horror tackle by Birmingham City’s Martin Taylor shattered his left leg.

The Croatian fox-in-the-box received by far the biggest cheer of the night when his name was read out on the Tannoy before the kick-off. He didn’t reward his fans with a goal, but he did survive the opening 45 minutes unscathed, before being taken off at half-time as a precaution over a tight hamstring.

“I’m just happy to have this run out. It felt good to get back out there,” Eduardo said afterwards. “I want to thank the fans for pushing me along these last 10 months.”

Great to see him back after such a nasty injury. More photos of his comeback below…

The scenario: You’re the manager of a Premier League team, and you’re allowed to strengthen your squad by signing just one player in the January transfer window. But you can only choose someone from Phil Brown’s bunch of overachievers - so who do you pick?

Your options: Brazilian Geovanni leaps to mind, but don’t forget the likes of Daniel Cousin, Boaz Myhill and George Boateng. And no, you can’t choose Phil Brown, even if you’d like to.

Can Eduardo handle GCSE maths?

Yesterday we told you about Arsenal’s work for the Teenage Cancer Trust, specifically the moonlighting of William Gallas and Kolo Toure as nail technicicans.

Today, we bring you the 90-second ad to promote the cause, which is narrated by Little Britain’s Matt Lucas (who is a Gooner). It features Bacary Sagna as a chauffeur, Emmanuel Adebayor and Gael Clichy in funny wigs, and Cesc Fabregas, er, signing autographs. Best of all, there’s chipmunk-faced Eduardo too - and his leg doesn’t look funny anymore!

The scenario: You’re the manager of a Premier League team, and you’re allowed to strengthen your squad by signing just one player in the January transfer window. But you can only choose someone from Woy Hodgson’s improved squad - so who do you pick?

Your options: Woy the Boy has cannily ditched some of the journeymen so mysteriously favoured by Lawrie Sanchez. Jimmy Bullard, Brede Hangeland, Andy Johnson and Clint Dempsey should all be on your shortlist.

Or should that be Sky’s Fatzone…

This is how two passionate fans saw the key moments from Aston Villa’s remarkable 3-2 win at Everton. Get in there, indeed.

WARNING: If the sight of wobbly man flesh makes you nauseous, don’t watch the last bit.

Streaker, give us a wave, streaker streaker, give us a wave

This happy chap has realised that the key to a successful streak is:

a) In winter, protect your shrunken modesty beneath a sock

b) Stroll around the pitch with a cheeky insouciance that puts one in mind of a young George Best. Then the crowd will be on your side

And the football? For the record, Grays Athletic beat York City 1-0 in the Blue Square Premier league to pick up their first away points of the season.

The scenario: You’re the manager of a Premier League team, and you’re allowed to strengthen your squad by signing just one player in the January transfer window. But you can only choose someone from Everton’s squad - so who do you pick?

Your options: David Moyes has assembled a very solid group at Goodison, and there is no one player who stands above the rest, as Cesc Fabregas does at Arsenal, for example. Mikel Arteta, Tim Cahill, Steven Pienaar, Joleon Lescott and Tim Howard are all class acts, but you might be more tempted by the young talent at Moyes’ disposal, such as Jack Rodwell and Dan Gosling.
