hi ed- the boys looked good, however when they play barcelona, they have to capitalize more on the chances to score. they let alot of chances slip though their fingers. but i thought almunia looked great. that penelty kick save, i was screaming at the television so loud you could here me in london. anyway.....UP THE GUNNERS!!!!!!!!!!

i gotta tell ya ed, your confidence in our boys is putting my mind at ease. i was freaking a little at first, but your right, arsenal CAN play with any team in the world. i know if i were on another team, arsenal would be the team i would fear most. their passing game, fabregas´s ability to read the flow of the game, almunia´s goaltending, nicholas bendtner really breaking out at the right time, i could go on, but you know what i´m saying. i guess i had to tell myself. well- here´s to tomorrow... cheers.....;)

well ed, i´m watching barcelona play stuttgart, and i gotta say, i´m a little worried. its halftime and barcelona look REAL GOOD.

whoa----- barcelona----- oh boy. i was hoping to face them later, when maybe gallas came back. well, i know at this point in the cup, there are no easy matches. and yes, they need to focus on west ham first. i´ve already got saturday morning planned out--- 07:30-10:00 its wolves vs aston villa, 10:00-12:30 its bolton vs everton, and then, match of the day--12:30-14:30 its west ham vs arsenal. i love saturday mornings

as for almunia, he is a major step up from fabianski- in my opinion. you saw what happened in the first match against fc porto, those goals should have never happened. and against almunia, it would have been an arsenal victory 1-nil. he may be critisized in the u k, however, he has at least 1 big fan in the u s. anyway, i really enjoy discussing the gunners with you, you know what your talking about, without being obstinate in your opinions. i dont get that over here. all i get is they don´t care about e.p.l- or they are rabid man-u drones(they got a shirt-now there an expert)- or online people are very obstinate. thanks again, its much appreciated

i agree, man-u look to be the bigger threat. i watched all the uefa matches and was a little suprised by chelsea´s performance. i was not suprised by the gunners, they needed to step up their play(with fabregas on the sidelines) and they did. they showed the heart of a true champion in that match. i just hope they can keep it going for the rest of the uefa matches(and in the premiere league). also, i thought almunia looked great, it´s so comforting to have a goalie of his calibre on our squad

i almost forgot, i would like to see a drawl, one point for each, it beats one of them getting three points

yeah, buddy- i´ve already set a reminder(as if i need it- ha). i will be watching. they had me worried last week, but they pulled it out at the last moments. i see that man-u and chelsea still have to play each other. how do you feel about the outcome of that match ? would you like one or the other to win- or would you like to see a drawl ?
