Magnifique. Arsene Wenger's vision, which he persevered with despite years of criticism, his steadfast belief in his cut price purchases and mere boys, has come into fruition.
His team refused to be intimidated or submit to the at-first imperious Blaugrana, and what a match it was. I already watched it twice :) The second goal was just breathtaking and really just Wenger's vision in the flesh - Wilshere tapped to Fabregas, who somehow curled a long pass in which the ball landed neatly at Nasri's twinkling feet. Nasri then steadied himself and saw Arshavin running into the box unmarked - Andrei Arshavin, who in the words of the commentator, "has been the the butt of some criticism for some time" (I wouldn't have played him in this game to be honest, even he admitted to a lack of confidence in the last couple of weeks - another testament to Wenger's undying, stubborn belief in his boys) -who volleyed the ball into the corner of the net. Magnifique, I could only breathe when I watched the repeat of the whole chain of passes.
Here's hoping that Arsenal, now brimming with confidence, win the Carling Cup next Sunday, that darned Man United drop a couple more points, and most of all, that they take the beautiful game to the Nou Camp and beat Barca. Exciting days to come and Go Go Go Gunners!
Oh, and I can't help it, this is just too cute. He's all man on the pitch, but at the end of the day, Jack Wishere is still too shy to ask Leo Messi for his shirt, and had to get his Captain, Cesc Fabregas, at the ripe old age of 23, to ask for Messi's shirt for him. Which led to Cesc to tweet,"Jack Wilshere, can't believe I had to go get Messi's shirt for U. U were so scared. You were MOTM so next time please ask urself!"
