Arsenal Advances in the Champions League

By: Trent | December 6th, 2006

After a scintillating and in no way foreseeable 0-0 draw in Portugal, both Arsenal and their opponents Porto have advanced to the next round of the Champions League.

CSKA Moscow, which was hoping for the Gunners or Porto to win outright, lost it chance to whinge after losing to dreadful, heretofore winless Hamburg, 2-3. Interestingly, all of the British teams have advanced to the next round.

I haven’t seen the match yet, but am about to sit down and watch it. More later of course. What were your impressions?

    About what you would expect. Both teams played not to lose. Porto showed a bit more ambition and the two posts hit in the second half nearly gave me a heart attack. Do yourself a favor and fast forward through most the match. You don’t need to watch it.

    Oh. My. Gosh. What a snooze-fest. The footy pirates didn’t come through for me with Lyon-Steaua, so I tried to get my soccer fix with Arsenal. It was a bit like trying to treat a raging heroin addiction with children’s tylenol…

    The thigh-bone’s connected to the back-bone?

    Maybe Henry’s is.
