Arsenal is truly going to be a tough match for anyone this year. Arsene Wenger has a magnificent mind when it comes to the sport of soccer and I can’t believe that anyone ever doubted his authority. Of coarse, everyone thought he was bogus when he let go the likes of Patrick Veira, Sol Campbell, Robert Pires, the up and coming Antonio Reyes, and most recently a soccer god figure in Thierry Henry. Looking back at all of his decisions, we realize what great transfers they truly were. There has not been much news from Veira, Campbell, Pires, and Reyes and Henry is just now finding his form in a Barca uniform. Yet, all the while, the gunners are soaring at the top of the English premiership and look unbeatable in the UEFA Champions League. The young “guns” that Arsene invested and set his team around are truly coming of age. Cesc Fagregas has to be considered as one of the best midfielders in the world, Theo Walcott has showed trmemendous promise that he could be lethal from the wing, and Robin van Persie and Adebayor have made goal scoring look easy. The team though has what alot of teams lack and that is cohesiveness. They play as a team and no one wants to be a star. This is hard to come by, and it can safely be said that Arsenal are better off without Henry. The gunners have a chance to become a soccer dynasty like the Bayer Munich’s and Ajax of the past but only time will tell.

It was so good while it was happening that I held back my emotions in disbelief. Then afterward as I replayed the game back in my mind and through all of the analyses I read the next day I realized that I had witnessed something truly special. While you hear it a lot these days, I never really lose belief in the beautiful game. It is always out there, eternal. You just have to wait for it to shine its light. And if you are one of the Arsenal faithful these days, you are frequently rewarded. I can’t wait for the Arsenal-United match, for those two are the most beautiful teams in the world just now…

Impressive stuff from Arsenal indeed, but what about Slavia Prague ? They looked a very poor team to me. At least when Arsenal played, and struggled a bit, against Sparta Prague in the qualifiers they got some tackles in and let the young guns know they were there. It was almost like watching the Harlem Globerotters on Tuesday - playing the team who always used to let them make them look like wallies - the Washington Generals. By the way, I am in no way suggesting the match was fixed!

This performance just shows how well the young gunners have groomed this season.
Surely after tuesday’s match, one can say, the boys have matured into men. And the beautiful game that Arsenal has championed over the years, is there for everyone to see.
Many people including me have said, that it is only the start of the season, and will need to be seen how well they cope in this long hard season. Yes that is still a big doubt, but this performance is just another way the Gunners want to prove they gun down any opposition.

Agree completely.
I’m so gutted I did not tape this game as I normally do. I watched it for sure, but i didn’t tape it. Anyway, I enjoyed this better than the Game between Barca and Real Madrid a couple of years ago when Real won, the score was 5-3 or someting.

Sounds like you were quite impressed. The European Cup has always produced results like this, though. Weren’t people raving about Man Utd against Roma a few months ago?
