Ooooh, I had a nice lie-in this morning.
There’s loads of stuff going on as you’d expect with so many big games coming up, but as the next game is against Chelsea there’s not much new to report. The two teams know each other inside out now at this stage, and the papers don’t have a lot to add to the countless column inches they’ve already provided.
The boss is confident in his players and our prospects. The run of games is daunting if you’re a fan though, but AW believes the lads are on the brink of something special. “We want to go as far as we can in the Champions League and we’ll give it everything in this game. We have waited a few years to be there and we have a great chance to go through.”
Dennis Bergkamp will feature in an away game in Europe for the first time since the last time he played an away game, and he’s looking forward to the challenge. “If you think back to the beginning of the season, about what you want to achieve and where you would like to be at this stage, then this is exactly where we would want to be.”
Round-up: Kolo Toure talks about how his wife gives him all his super-powers, Thierry talks about watching WWW and how players who have left Arsenal in the past end up wanting to come back, Peter Hill-Wood scoffs reports that AW would leave the club to go and manage Chelsea, Arsenal scouts watch young Ipswich striker, Arsenal and United are checking out some new French starlet called Jimmy, and check out an excellent report on the reserves 4-0 win over Derby (including two Aliadiere goals) on Arsenal-Land.
And that’s it.
