Champions League: Porto v. Arsenal
By: Trent | December 5th, 2006
Well here we are. A win or a draw will see the Gunners through to the next round. In fact, a draw will see both of these teams through. Meaning, CSKA Moscow is hoping no safe-play collusion is afoot in Portugal on Wednesday.
Arsenal will be without talismanic striker Thierry Henry, as well as Tomas Rosicky. Interestingly, it looks as if Theo Walcott may replace Henry. Walcott, who is 11 and fast, could then get a chance to shine on a stress-packed stage.
The ‘Henry needs to leave Arsenal because Arsenal sux’ crowd has been out in force lately, by the way. And it’s true that Henry’s career has been littered with failure. Two Prem titles including an Undefeated Season (!), plus two World Cup Finals, one World Cup Title, the European Championship and last year’s Champions League Final as captain of Arsenal. How he can show his face around North London is a mystery.
As Homer Simpson would say, That was sarcasm.

They’ll probably play a 0-0 draw and both teams will be happy. The whole gentlemen’s agreement has happened before and with so much on the line for both clubs I could see it happening this time too.
