CL qualifying

It's always dramatic at The Arsenal, we're always one step away from doom. Look, here's the facts. We've got to beat a Turkish team in one match, at home. If we can't manage that we surely don't deserve to be in the CL do we? Simples innit? We are going to win - come on Arsenal!

And win we did. A bit close for comfort of course and yes, Besiktas could easily have been awarded a penalty (or two) but they weren't and we scored a good goal - Welcome Alexis, may this be the first of many - and should have scored at least a second but, as usual, left it to a heart-in-the-mouth finish in true Arsenal style.
I thought Santi Cazorla had a great game - the best for a long time - and I'm well pleased with how Debuchy has slotted in at right-back. He can be a touch over-zealous, he'll have to calm it down a bit but he certainly didn't deserve a second yellow card last night and thus, the red. Jack Wilshere turned it on too - glad to see him coming into form at last and keeping fit!
Onwards and upwards - come on Arsenal!

and there was me thinking that we were going to be seeing you in the also ran cup

Don't be silly!

Borussia Dortmund, Anderlecht, Galatasaray - methinks it'll be an "invincibles" situation - come on Arsenal!

I always say that, whatever the result, you cannot ask more than for your team to give 100%.
This Arsenal team gave 120% to the man. Well done!!!!!!!
