Well done to Ryan for passing his Masters in Global Politics with a merit. I am proud of you babe, makes those hours spent in pep talk phone calls worthwhile doesnt it? :)

Having begun to recover from the weekend's activities, I have been watching the Arsenal this evening. With the mouthwatering prospect of the family season ticket for Sunday's game against Chelski, it has been good to see us put away 5, even if against somewhat subdued opposition. We need to sort out this goalkeeping situation though. As lovely as Lehmann is with his curls and Coulthardesqe chiseled jaw and as good a save as Almunia pulled off in the first half...they are simply not convincing enough. However, qualification even when we have played well within ourselves in the group stage and having miraculously managed to somehow win the group, we are given the chance to pull up our socks and do better next time :)
