Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey looks at Arsene Wenger's claims that Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas will one day go on to be the best midfielder in the world.

Cesc Fabregas first came to the attention of many fans of English football with a very assured performance at in the 2004 Community Shield. He had made his bow the previous season but this was the moment when it became clear that Wenger had unearthed another gem.

Football FanCast columnist Davis Lowe feels that Man United and Arsenal are head and shoulders above everyone else in England but wonders which side has the right to deem themselves the Premier League entertainers.

If there is well worn out phrase that comes out of the Sky and Premier League's PR machines, is that in England we possess the best Championship in the world. It certainly not a view that washes with me as our feel the Premier League falls way behind our Euro counterparts technically and in general skill. I appreciate there are the obvious exceptions like your Manchester United and Arsenal's of this world but collectively we are somewhat limited.

Football FanCast columnist Billy Pearson is a great fan of Robin Van Persie but feels that Arsene Wenger is taking a huge risk in banking on his fitness for next season.

If there is one player that constantly frustrates me as an Arsenal fan then it has to be Robin Van Persie. It is not because of his abilities on a football field but the fact we don't see enough of him on it. When he does eventually put the No.11 jersey on his back he looks tremendous, ‘World Class' at times and I believe a fit Van Persie would have won us the title this year.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey agrees with Arsene Wenger about Theo Walcott's international credentials and feels that Fabio Capello should be basing his future England plans around the young Arsenal striker.

As Arsenal's underwhelming season drew to a close on Sunday evening, fans received a glimmer of hope next year with Theo Walcott's winning goal.

Football FanCast columnist Jim McKendry looks south of the border at Arsenal football club and feels the club is in very safe hands under Wenger and has challenged his critics, to name the players who they think Arsene should bring in to guarantee success.

Arsene Wenger has not had shall we say a pleasant last few months in English football. A combination of injuries, poor results and now player unrest has constituted the bitterest of pills that will be fully digested when the Frenchman looks at pictures of Sir Alex Ferguson or Avram Grant holding aloft a Premier League trophy. Make no mistake about it should have been Arsenal's - the outstanding team for two thirds of the season and I'm sure that the ‘professor' is just at pains to work out how it happened.

Football FanCast columnist Billy Pearson is fed up of the constant rumour and speculation around N5 and the apparent double standards shown by some players.

If there was one common theme that seemed to be drifting out of the Emirates all season then it is that Thierry Henry's departure had lifted a real burden off his teammates and galvanised them all to perform. I personally never understood this as a supporter or comprehend the whole idea that one player could simply alienate the rest of his teammates. Surely you look to Henry as one of the finest strikers in Europe and the one man you can rely on to deliver? I would find that kind of comforting despite any such feelings or possible loathing for the man. At the end of the day you are paid money to win trophies for your football club, not make friends - I'm sure Gallas and Lehmann isn't number one on most Christmas card lists, but you know they will do a job for you.

Football FanCast columnist Billy Pearson looks at the departure of Mathieu Flamini and wonders if Arsene Wenger found himself caught between a rock and a hard place back in January.

Arsene Wenger must look back to January 2008 with about as much fondness as you would on hearing news of a dead relative. A combination of wrong decisions, broken promises and player power has constituted in a downturn of fortunes and surrender our hope of honours this season and has left some sections of the Arsenal faithful questioning the wisdom of the ‘professor'.

Steve Sedgley looks at the precocious talents of Cesc Fabregas and his importance at N5.
