thank you.

And arsenal/juventus are stronger than real

^ I agree. Juve is in good form but then, they have been from the start of the season. I realised that most teams will dip in form after a good run. Perhaps it's time for Juve's perfomance to start a decline?! That would also be great for AC Milan in the race for the scudetto!!! clearly I have ulterior motives for hoping for such a thing! )

Also note that Arsenal beat Real without one of their best young players, Robin Van Persie who has been out with injury ... but I've found some good news from www.arsenal.com ...
March 9, 2006

Robin Van Persie

Robin van Persie is set to return to full training after recovering from a recurrence of the toe injury he sustained in January. He has not played since the defeat against West Ham on February 1 but is close to a return. "Van Persie will return to the squad for training by the weekend,” said Arsène Wenger in an exclusive video interview on Thursday afternoon. “But, of course, he has not played for a long, long time and needs some competition."

And ... this is what Arsene Wenger has to say...(also from Arsenal.com)

Wenger - Vieira deserves a rousing reception

By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger must have been one of the few people who did NOT think about Patrick Vieira straight away when Arsenal were drawn with Juventus in Friday’s Champions League draw.
Manager and captain parted ways in the summer after nine hugely successful seasons at Highbury. Wenger insists there is no bad feeling between the pair and argues Vieira will not be driven by the desire to ‘put one over’ the team who sold him when the Turin side visit Arsenal on March 28.
“I have never looked at the game like that,” said Wenger. “I just believe it is an opportunity to show how good we are and to qualify. To show that we have been right by doing this or that, is not important. What is important is that we play well and that we qualify.
“Once you make a decision, you go for it. I do not want to come out on that decision now because we have other worries than why we have sold Patrick Vieira or not.
“I knew the first year could be difficult without him, but once you make that decision, you accept that.”
Wenger insists his relationship with Vieira is still strong.
“Yes, of course,” he said. “I feel I have done well for Patrick in his life, so I am rather proud of what we have achieved together. I don't think there was any bad feeling whatsoever.
“I see him nearly every time with the French national team, and he was here [at Highbury] for a game over Christmas. He came down to the dressing room.
“At his age he got a five-year contract at a massive club as well and you have to accept that.
“He has done so well for nine years for us, who has given us nine top, top years? A few players before, but of the foreign players I can only remember Patrick [and Bergkamp]. He has given nine years to the Club, that is why I want him to have a great reception. I am sure our fans are strong enough and big enough to do that.”



Wenger is getting a lot of criticism because a lot of people feel tha Arsenal being the sole "English" team left in the Champions League isn't exactly accurate seeing that in a lot of matches played by Arsenal, no English players are fielded!



I fear for my beloved Milan in their clash with Lyon. On the upside, Pippos Inzaghi is absolutely on fire right now!

Yeah it was quite funny that in the Arsenal vs. Real game there was only one English play (David Beckham), but he played for the spanish side ...I Don't really care if we have English players on the field or not as long as we win

Yeah Milan vs. Lyon will be a very interesting and though game too. I think both teams ar at about the same level so I'm not sure who'll get through...but of course I'll support Milan, Bluestar07

Good Luck to Milan than, I can't wait to see who of them wins but I really really want Juve to lose

Yeah it won't be easy for Arsenal either, they really have to play better in the premier league otherwise I don't see them winning this really but if they play like they did against Real (let's hope for that ), it looks much better I guess....

[Bluestar07]

I King Henry!!! And I'm so excited for Fabregas He's so incredibly young and full of potential. Really hoping he gets a call up for WC2006.

I'm going to wake up at 3am to watch Lyon-Milan. Please, please, please let Milan win or at least score away goals. Please, please, pleeeeeaaaassssseeeeeee

 

[truebluejen]

Well done Arsenal!

Benifica had a great game too!

 

[*Sunrise_Serena*]

ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENAL Woah, I'm so proud to be a gunner, esp. after tonight! These are my boys, they played absolutely formidable...a really great team performace, really! Though we could have scored another goal esp. when 2 Juve players were sent off but anyways great great performance and I really enjoyed to see how badly Jue played and the best was when two of their players were sent off and Vieria got his fifth yellow card which means he won't be able to play in Turin I mean after all didn't he leave to win the Champions League ? I'm so sorry Patrick but your chances aren't that high after last night and the best thing is you might be beaten by the team you left because you thought they couldn't win the Champions League Well I would say the cards have turned around...Well and it wasn't even a only one-man performance by Thierry who played really good too, but Fabregas, Eboue or Toure all played great too...I think our chances are quite good for the away-game, esp. since so many players of Juve won't be allowed to play.. but well I guess you never know ....GO GUNNERS!
