Arsenal News: First of the Liverpool Games on the Horizon

Hey there from sunny now rainy 10 minutes later Bangalore. That was a fine result over the weekend wasn't it, I'm sure most of you have this grin on your face you can't quite get rid off.

Other results are not going quite like we had hoped for which means that we are back in third after Chelsea sneaked a win over Boro, and Liverpool hung in there for a 1-0 in the Merseyside derby at Anfield.

We are still six points behind the Manky shite, with six games to go.

For the time being though the Premier League will take a back seat, with the first leg Champions League clash against Liverpool at Ashburton looming large.

I watched Liverpool play yesterday, and they looked lethal from the off, and scored early through the ever dangerous Fernando Torres. It was understandably a much more determined Kop out there from last week, it was a derby after all.

I quite feared for us, as we are to take them on in a few days. My fears were soon soothed, as Liverpool went off the boil and rarely looked anywhere near as menacing after, barring a few Gerrard shots.

I was quite confident of progressing through to the next round when we pulled Liverpool out of the hat in the Champions League draw. That confidence has not dipped since.

Furthermore the victory over Bolton when the odds were stacked up against us at half time, will have lifted us immeasurably after a string of disappointments. With seemingly the Champions League looking like the best chance of winning any silverware this season, I'm sure we will go at them with all guns blazing.

More on the Liverpool game tomorrow. The lads and the manager must be still relishing the comeback win as its gone silent on the Arsenal front. Will point you then towards the little that's doing the rounds.

We are interested in signing Feyenoord attacking midfielder Jonathan De Guzman. So interested are we, that we have dispatched scouts to check him out, which is not out of the ordinary, I think. De Guzman is only 20, so do any of you have an idea if he's any good, I sure as heck don't.

This report says that Cescy has vouched for a certain winger from Mallorca, but we have to get in line with the Spuds and Liverpool in the hunt for him as well.

And that's all there is today, so will leave you with this nice piece which suggests that Arsene is most deserving of the Champions League title, and I nod in agreement, do I ever!!

Have a good week ahead!
