In the third minute Bendtner fired over a cross from the left and Eboue hoiked a shot over the bar. But Derby might have opened the lead twice in following minute. First Emanuel Villa swept a shot wide from 10 yards then Mile Sterjovski let fly and Song stretched to clear. The ball sliced off the foot of the Arsenal defender and flew a couple of yards wide with Fabianski left flatfooted.

In reality, the first 24 minutes had belonged to Derby’s endeavour. But they would be undone by what happened in the 25th when Darren Moore made the simplest error at the back. It allowed Bendtner to exchange passes with Van Persie and slot home past Roy Carroll.

Nicklas on Arsenal TV Online:

‘I look back on it not the best way obviously we played some good football and we have progressed which is a positive thing but we wanted to win trophies this season and its not looking like thats going to happen on 1 way it looks good because we have proggressed as a team and on the other hand a bit dissapointed that we havent won a trophy, we got to go for the silverware now, you know you can play good as anything and everyone can praise you but at the end of the day its all about medals isn’t it thats all that we want to win and sometimes it doesnt matter how good you play but it is always good that you keep progressing.’

Arsenal were once again left frustrated by Liverpool at Emirates Stadium as a 1-1 draw dealt a massive blow to their fading Barclays Premier League title hopes.

Just three days after their European tie ended all square, both teams were back to do battle for league points.

Each manager made several changes, no doubt with one eye on next week’s second leg of their Champions League quarter-final, but there was still more than enough talent on display to make for an entertaining encounter.

Recalled striker Peter Crouch gave Liverpool the lead at the end of the first half, with Nicklas Bendtner levelling on 53 minutes.

However, with Manchester United, who play at Middlesbrough today, still five points clear at the top of the table, Arsene Wenger knew only victory would have kept their slim title hopes alive.

The trip to Anfield on Tuesday night now takes on extra significance if a season which promised so much is not to end in disappointment.

Liverpool started well and Crouch soon tested Manuel Almunia, letting fly from 25 yards and forcing the Arsenal goalkeeper to make an acrobatic one-handed save to tip the ball over.

Crouch was involved again in the 17th minute, this time slipping an expert pass inside the Arsenal backline.

John Arne Riise ran on to the ball but, with William Gallas sliding in, the Norwegian lifted his 18-yarder over.

The home side were made to pay with three minutes left to the break when Crouch put Liverpool ahead.

The England striker headed down a long clearance from keeper Reina, which Benayoun flicked on.

Crouch collected the ball on his chest and turned inside William Gallas before drilling into the bottom corner from the edge of the area.

Former Gunner Jermaine Pennant was booked on 53 minutes for bundling over Armand Traore as the full-back looked to get away down the left and Arsenal were level from the resulting free-kick. Fabregas was the provider as he sent over a deep cross into the box where Bendtner timed his run towards the near post perfectly and powered home a header.

This is what Bendtner has said, with its clear intention that he either wants to play some games for Arsenal or to go to another team - Birmingham seems interested…

 He said to The Sun :

“I will stay with Arsenal for the time being, to try my luck. But if it doesn’t work out I will look to make a permanent move to another club.”

Denmark lost its game against Spain and is now forth in Group E with very slim chances  to qualify.

The Danes gave too much room in the midfield, allowing Ramos to add a second goal in the 40th.

Two minutes later, Rommedahl had a powerful shot at Iker Casillas but failed to score.

Spain missed a chance to score in the 53rd minute on a free kick outside penalty field, while Sorensen later grabbed a shot by Tamudo.

In the second half, the Danes came close with shots from Tomasson, Jesper Gronkjaer and Niclas Bendtner, who hit the post in the 73rd.

Denmark: Thomas Sorensen, Christian Poulsen, Martin Laursen, Ulrik Laursen, Niclas Jensen (Kenneth Perez, 78), Thomas Helveg, Daniel Jensen, Jesper Gronkjaer (Thomas Kahlenberg, 65), Jon Dahl Tomasson, Leon Andreasen (Niclas Bendtner, 46), Dennis Rommedahl.

Spain: Iker Casillas, Raul Albiol, Carlos Marchena, David Albelda (Pablo Ibanez, 64), Xavi Hernandez, Joan Capdevila, Sergio Ramos, Andres Iniesta, Joaquin Sanchez (Albert Riera, 68), Cesc Fabregas (Luis Garcia, 78), Raul Tamudo. Niclas Bendtner could start the next game against Latvia in the fisrt squad and he would like to impress Arsene Wenger

West Ham United is looking to get Bendtner on a loan, but it is not clear if the player wants to go from Arsenal.. or its is just waiting a little bit more to see the results of its showdown with Wenger.  Nicklas arrived at Arsenal in 2000, but last season was on loan with Birmingham…

So what Wenger thinks ? In the end, it is not sure even that Nicklas Bendtner really ‘demand’ showdown talks? 

Denmark had a good goaless result in the Official UEFA qualifying game against Sweden last Saturday, on 8 September 2007. Nicklas Bendtner came as a substitute in the 54th minute, but his entry did not provide the boost necessary for Denmark to win.

Official statistics from UEFA just show 2 fouls comitted by Nicklas in its time on the pitch.

Denmark doesn’t look too good in this group, on place 4 with just 5 games to go, but with Spain, Northern Ireland and Sweden just before them..

Danish international Nicklas Bendtner, just 19 years old, Bendtner, 19, is unhappy after being left out of the 16-man squad for Sunday’s win over Portsmouth.

Bendtner spent last season on loan at Birmingham and snubbed interest from AC Milan to stay at Arsenal as he is regarded as one of Europe’s top prospects, says Mirror.

He said : “I didn’t get any explanation. I don’t know why he did that and I’ll demand to know why and have a talk with Arsene Wenger when I get back. But what is said will stay between us.”
