- 100 Hours! The difference between a potentially magical season with an unprecedented (for the club) three titles in a year - and total Eurpoean dominance - to a potentially disastrous season , where they will have to fight off disappointment and a lot of nerves, not to mention a surging Chelsea; just to salvage the premiership. Arsenal has gone from superb to desperate in 100 hours. My favorite english club (and top five among european ones) is out of the Champs' league. Sad! But it's nice to see Ranieri and the boys get some reward.
- Guess who joins Arsenal? RMFC!! Their loan to Monaco came back to bite them in the butt !Morientes scored a crucial second away goal last time around and this time sparked off a resurgence - to take Monaco through on away goals after their two contests ended 5-5 on aggregate. Towards the end of the first half, Real were up 5-2 and surely then, with all their talent, only a brave man would've betted against them. But a happy man he would've been. An eternal optimist... and firm believer in sporting folklore.
- I might have seen two of my fave teams go out - but it makes me happy to be a sports nut - to witness great games like these. It was a good day for the Champions' League.
