Champions League - Matchday 2

Six changes for Arsene tonight. Fabianski, as alluded to earlier, is in for the injured Almunia, while Kieran Gibbs replaces Gael Clichy at left-back, and Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky and Denilson all come into midfield.

Our goalscorer on Saturday Bradley Johnson has hit a screamer just over the bar.

GOAL! The skipper John Terry knocks in Chelski's first goal from a corner, just a delicate flick from the big man.

That's Luciano's fourth goal of the season, with apparently a really good, powerful header. He's really stepped up as the lead goalscorer this season.

Everything looking pretty hunkydory at the moment, I'd say.

3:06 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Arshavin goal sounds like a real peach. Here's how the Guardian describe it:

"Arshavin took a pass from Song just inside the Partizan half and surged forwards before slipping a short pass to Wilshere. He then carried it on into the area before backheeling it back to Arshavin, whose low drive beat Stojkovic comfortably enough."

Anybody about for this Wednesday Matchday 2 malarky?

Pretty happy about the Partizan result because, 1-We won, 2-Won away in the CL which we hadn't managed in 6 attempts, 3-Fabianski played well which can only bode well until we get serious at that position, hand him his passport and tell him to "do one, already."

In other news, did anyone else spot that the Partizan keeper was wearing the squad number 88? The significance of which is that NeoNazis often sport that number because H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, and 88's Nazi code for Heil Hitler. Really, not making that up.

Buffon got caught up wearing that number and had to back down. He's an idiot. But in Serbia, where NeoNazi warlords are a recent memory, that crap is out-of-order and that punchy Nazi git should be banned as a punishment.

That Michel Bastos at Lyon? Might have to revise my opinion of him. When Arsenal was linked with him, I kinda thought we might get a Robinho-nutcase type and was relieved when it didn't pan out. Bit of a fox in the box now.

Agreed. But United never have the same style in the EPL as they do in the CL. If I were SAF, I'd look to do anything to support Dracula who is on fiery form for you.

Purchases in the winter transfer window to beef up in the mid would help too.

And a recall from loan for Cleverboy. You'd love to see that guy playing for you the way Wilshere is playing for us, wouldn't you.

Tottenham goal: How do you make up for missing a penalty? Like this, that's how. Tom Huddlestone's deep cross is headed down by Peter Crouch and Rafael van der Vaart controls the ball on his chest before slamming in a powerful shot. Spurs have the lead, just seconds after the restart.

VDV is a good pick-up for Harry. Shame we couldn't have met his wage demands last year. I fancy him over the erratic Diaby for a start. No other complaints in that area of the pitch though.
