Arsenal puts 5 past Fenerbahce
Whatever the headlines tomorrow, my man of the match has to go to Almunia. All our attacking flair would have been for nought if Almunia wasn’t there to foil Fenerbahce who actually had more shots on goal than Arsenal.

Depleted Arsenal face test at Sukru Saracoglu

Who should win the champions league
At the end season where we’ve played such entertaining football, where we were top for 2/3 of the way, where we exceeded all expectations. We end with nothing.
