RvP – Remarkable, Virtuosic, a Premium striker.
This morning I’m thinking, damn that pass from Song to Cesc for the penalty was lush, Arshavin still better than Rooney, man we create lots of chances, if we were to play Barça today we’d spank those fuckers.

Not quite the fightback we were hoping for.
We were shit, but I don’t believe we are a shit team, a win at home against Partizan will be enough to qualify for the next round. If Braga can get some confidence from their victory and go on beat Shakhtar then we could still win the group.

Advantage Arsenal, but at what cost.
What an enjoyable game, it cost us injuries to Gallas and Almunia, but in my opinion it was fantastic. Two sides playing good football, both wanting to win, with good refereeing made for an unusually wonderful contest.
