Hello there, I assume you all have heard about the chance to test Barca. What a shocking draw, eh? But I know we have the chance. However, I have to admit that it won't be easy.
People talk about Inter being able to break Barca heart. However, I think the first leg Inter got lucky with Barca being tired after travelling to Italy by bus. Well, you know the rest of the story. Inter parked the bus and defend desperately for the lead, which was despised by all Barcelona fans as well as Mourinho's...

Arsenal lost the chance to widen the gap. Instead, we lost the top of the table. I think we played well, but lack of the finishing touch which sees us goaless.
We started the first half unconvincingly having ManU possessed more of the ball. However, either sides didn't create much. Some good attempts were done by ManU, but the chances were straight into Szczney. The young Polish did well to replace his senior, Fabianski.

Yeah, you read the title. We won, but it is not a convincing win. I dare to say it is due to Song and Denilson partnership in the middle.

I will give short updates on Arsenal.
Thomas Vermaelen is reported to be back in our home match against Chelsea. With Koscielny being injured, I think this is good news. We miss the Verminator badly since the other centre backs haven't performed well. Especially Squillaci who have a problem in facing pacey striker.
On transfer, Ajax has given the green light to Jan Vertonghen to leave the club. It will be good news since Arsenal is reported interested to pair him again with his fellow Belgian...
Another important match is on the way for Arsenal. I guess we wouldn't even bothered by the last fixture of our european group phase after seeing our group-mates. However, the recent away defeats from Braga and Shakhtar has raised the importance of this match. We dropped from the top and finish as the group leader is unlikely. I still fancy our chance to qualify, but I have prepared to face the likes of Barca and co were we indeed finish second.
Well, the odd of Arsenal topping the table is relatively...
