Big night for Arsenal - feeling anxious!
Posted by Martin in Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, Champions League, Liverpool, Rafa Benitez | 20 February 2008
Following a good night for Liverpool, Rafa's position secure for a bit longer, and a bit of good fortune playing against 10 men, all eyes will now be on Wenger and the Arsenal youngsters.
Wenger appears to be confident, though he doesn't under estimate the challenge ahead:
"Milan are very consistent in this competition and they have a great record, so it is the perfect opportunity for us to show how good we are - especially the younger players."
He also said that the "first leg at Emirates will be decisive in determining who progresses to the quarter-finals."
Personally, I'm feeling somewhat nervous following "that" match. In the papers this morning I read that Cesc is calling on the team to have a positive mental attitude towards the game, shame he didn't have that himself at the week end!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to see how Arsenal rise to the challenge, albeit with some nervousness. Unfortunately I'll be joining the millions of armchair viewers on this one, having given my ticket to my son. The sacrifices parents make!
Come on you Gunners!
