Dynamo Zagreb 0-3 Arsenal.
This is an excellent result considering that 1) Henry didn't play 2) Mats was suspended because of his red card in the Champions League Final back in May, so it was Almunia between the sticks. By the by, I hope Belletti sent Almunia a thank you card, flowers, candy, and a Thai hooker or three for gifting him this joke of a goal that crowned Barca Champions Of Europe 3) $25-50 million are at stake for making the Champions League proper, and given the club's financial situation with the new stadium they really can't afford not to make it 4) it was 0-0 at half time.
Nice to see the lads back in proper red & white kits.
Two goals by 19 year old Cesc and another from 21 year old RVP mean that Arsenal have essentially qualified for the competition. They would have to lose 1-4 at
But perhaps the most interesting thing to happen today is that JAR9 (Jose Antonio Reyes) did not play. This pretty much guarantees that young Jose is on his way out to Real Madrid (if you play in a Champions League match for one team then you cannot play for any other team in the competition in the same season. A player in this situation is ssaid to be "cup tied").
So congrats to Arsenal, and congrats as well to Moin. I really like Reyes and I think he will be a monster once his pansy ass gets to play somewhere without a cold winter. Hopefully they will get Real Madrid to pay a boatload of money since JAR9 is only 22 and has several years left on his contract.
With that money will they buy Ribery or Malouda?

Congrats to you.
And I'd still prefer Cesc. DM is a much more needy area for RM (not necessarily this year, with Emerson and all, but the dude is old, as any Brazilian can tell you).
Reyes, well, it's a case of "should have went there in the first place". The guy wanted to leave Sevilla for RM in the first place... whatever. Better late than never I suppose.
The rumour has been swimming around for Ribery and/or Diarra (Lyon is the new Ajax, I swear).
The Guardian claims Ribery. If Arsenal pull that off, I am coming out of the "neutral" box for the season -- because that would be footy worth watching.
