Wenger: Ayling I Loaned...
Yeovil Town, true to their word HAVE loaned one of our stars of tomorrow (not Friday, it was meant as a long term prediction) Luke Ayling. The deal is just a month, but good luck to the lad...
Champions League Draw Tomorrow...
So thats that then, the qualifying knock out rounds are complete, the teams now involved in the Champions League Quarter Finals are as follows: Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Bordeux, Man United, Barcelona, CSKA Moscow, Inter Milan and Lyon. Barcelona's very own Nicklas Bendtner, Lionel Messi ran the show last night, and showed touches of brilliance, and why he's thought of as the second best player in the world after our very own Great Dane.
If only this was our new kit, I think I'd explode with white sleeved delight. Charlie George doesn't seem so keen mind you in the pic (bottom left)...
Anyways, Gael Clichy is pretty certain who he wants to face, Barcelona... or a French team, or maybe a Spani-- no wait, Italian: "If I have to choose one team to beat in the final it would be Barcelona. For me, to win against the holders would be the dream final. I’d like to avoid an English team. Not because they’re strong because at this stage of the competition whoever you play are really good..."
"But because you want to play a French team, a Spanish team, an Italian team – you want to taste this Champions League perfume. I’m French so I’d like to play a French team. I haven’t played a French team since I joined the team so it would be so good for me and the French boys..."
'Big Game Bendtner' prefers team glory to personal glory...
Moroccan Mole...
Tottenham's Adel Taarabt has admitted he made a mistake by joining Spurs, and should have come to Arsenal instead.
He said: "I was going to go to Arsenal and Comolli was there with Wenger, but he went to Tottenham so I went there. That was a big mistake for me. My friends in England — like Armand Traore and Abou Diaby at Arsenal — told me Tottenham were not the right fit for me. The big mistake was to sign for Tottenham and not go to another club when I first came over..."

Coq Slays the Wolves...
A single, solitairy, Ashley Cole, Jack Jones, one off wonder strike from Francis Coquelin was enough to seal the points at home to Wolves Reserves last night. Clint Eastmond captained the side in Luke Aylings absence, Lofty's Mexican cousin, Tim Nice But Frimpong and Tom Cruise all played in the match. We only mention them cos of their funny names, there were others...

Loving the headline of this Sky article: Ferguson: Giggs is a Weapon. Never a truer word...
