Arsenal through

The big news of the past 24 hours, of course, is that Arsenal have managed to get through to the quarter finals of the European Champions league again but not without their usual fair share of heart stopping moments. They've been having a terrible season by their standards and have contrived so often to throw it away in the Champions League at Highbury that I feared it was going to be another one of those nights. I should have had more faith but then it's a concept I don't place much store by - evidence is what counts. In any case congratulations to Arsene Wenger and the team and let's hope we avoid Juventus and Barcelona in the draw for the quarter finals. Commiserations to Liverpool, Chelsea and Rangers.
