Arsenal were incredible last night. The triangle of Hleb, Flamini and Cesc was incisive and fluid. Everyone played their part - Gallas was a rock. Senderos found himself in the box volleying a shot goals bound (Should have scored)! Everything had purpose but wasn't rushed or overly intricate. The scoreline was fairish on the night but over the two legs it flattered Milan. What a performance.


Bring on Barca.

Well played paragon, couldn't have put it better myself. each player was a hero, I thought Sebderos had a good game, and as always Sagna had a great game but doesn't get enough praise. For me (as Le Boss would say) Flamini was man of the match, and Theo doing a nuts on Kaka was priceless.

Good work Arsenal last night, bloody good result!


Poor little hard done by victims ;-) Sorry couldn't resist after Atila's post >:D<


Loz, I'm sure the CPT will be showing Chelsea tonight, and yes, some of the regulars are Chelsea fans, so you'll be welcomed. If you don't fancy it, I guess The Mag and The EDT will be showing it too...

feel the good mood in this thread today!


Atila is right when he says the papers go all "crisis!" when Arsenal hit a bad patch. Every single year. But then again, reading the overly-glowing write-ups today you would think we were the second coming. And that ain't true either (yet anyway...)

Sean, while I agree that the papers are glowing in their reports on our game, let's face it, they are reflecting what actually happened, which is a refreshing change for our press. Good to see the AC manager being gracious in defeat and giving us praise for a good performance.

It's true - I did enjoy the bus in this morning *grins*


It was like watching a different team to the last 4 weeks. Is this how Liverpool fans feel after watching European games? Hopefully we don't return to hum-drum on Sunday


Having Fabregas back to his best was great to watch. The usal suspects Hleb/Flamini/Ade are getting all due praise but have to agree with Sagna - he is outstanding week in week out for us (as was Lauren but Sagna has teh added ability to actually cross a ball)

There are obviously far too many Gooners on this thread for my liking but then I don't blame any of you for being very happy bunnies this today. Congratulations on a fantastic win and an excellent performance. Good to see a young Englishman in there supplying a bit of amunition at the end as well. You haven't won anything yet though.

I've heard that too, but unless Le Boss knows something or sees something in him that I've failed to see, I'd rather hang onto Flamini. No disrespect to Noble but he ain't in the same league as Matty.

That's a bit harsh Atila. Mark Noble is still a very young player and a good one at that. Definitely one for the future I'd say but if anyone can turn him into a better one it's La Wenger and then of course you'll be saying he's the best thing since sliced bread won't you.

It's a pity we can't hang on to our talent. Half the England squad seem to have come out of our academy and I don't doubt I'll be seeing Noble at one of our rivals and in an England shirt at some point.

I seem to recall a chant at White Hart lane a few short years ago on the lines of

"West Ham is our feeder club doo dah" You can guess the rest.

*silently weeps*

Going to be some great ties when the draw is made.


Teams still in - Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, Roma, Schalke, Barca, Fenerbache, L'Pool/Inter Milan.


Hopefully Liverpool will get through and no doubt they will get Schalke in the draw! I think Inter are the most dangerous team in the draw for the UK contingent. Assuming Arsenal can keep the momentum from Tuesday up I have no doubt that they can do anyone. I don't think any team even playing at their best would beat Arsenal on the form they showed on Tuesday. Shame Celtic didn't get through - would have loved to see 5/8 teams from UK.


If they reduce our quota to 3 it will be a joke and damaging to the European game.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
