i grow to dislike senderos more and more each day

Was talking to a fella who told me a true story. A group of Limerick men were at the Emirates and after the game they were in the Arsenal shop inside the ground. He says Wenger walks in flanked by a few minders to do some kind of signing. The Shannonsiders approached him and shared pleasantries - 'you're a great manager Mr Wenger', 'we really admire you Mr Wenger' etc. Before they left one of them asked if he would answer one more question. Wenger replied 'of course' in his best French accent. Yer man asks ' Why the fcuk, Mr Wenger, do you keep on playin thon cnut Senderos?' He says Arsene and his minders just smirked.

[The Real Laoislad]

Great Goal,Delighted for the gunners

[ExiledGael]

100% deserved, especially Fabregas. Stood up and outshone Kaka. Wish Ronaldo would do it.
Hope that's the end of that Milan team, couldn't stand the sight of Inzaghi & Co for much longer.

[ildanach]

great result. lets hope our season can kick on from here. Totally out played milan

[ONeill]

This is the result Arsenal needed. Wenger's teams feed off confidence moreso than any other of the top sides who can grind out results.
First English side to defeat Milan in Italy?

Would swop it for the Carling Cup though.

[superblues]

great result for the gooners glad to see it don t like that milan 

[Norf Tyrone]

Yip Arsenal the first English side to win away to Milan. More than deserved, Arsenal looked to be happy to shake off the pressure of th premiership tonight, and more than deserved their win. Fibreglass especially looked back to his pre-Christmas form, and a fine Walcott cameo.

A few things noted;

* Was there no segregation? Kept panning to shots of pockets of Goons celebrating among glum Milanese.
* Had the camera man a fetish with the AC crerst. He spent the last 5 minutes shooting close ups of Milan scarves, hats. Everything!
* The draw will be VERY interesting. It looks (Fingers crossed for Chelsea) that there will 4 Eng sides, and 3 from Spain. Everyone hoping to get Porto or Schalke then!

Great result for Arsenal tonight and totally deserved.

Woudn't like to be the new milan coach next season, 3/4 of the team will have to go

[T Fearon]

I have to grudingly applaud the Goons, recovering from a potentially shattering 5-1 defeat by North London's most glamorous club only a few weeks ago, shows admirable mental strength.

However allowances must be made for the fact that the average age of Milan's defence is 153, and when Martin O'Neill and Alex Mc Leish can induce average teams to take points of the Goons in the league, I fear that last night may be the highlight of the season for the Goons.

[ONeill]

Yes, the same Martin O'Neill whose side went 4-1 up at Shite Hart Lane on Spuds' night of celebration? The same MArtin O'Neill whose side beat Spuds 2-1 at home? The same McLeish whose side beat Spuds 4-1 at the weekend? The same Birmingham who won 3-2 at Spuds?

Keep it coming Fatman.
