Beautiful football all around

Howdy, its 100th post and i think the UCL is a very entertaining competition to watch. It is no wonder we call it Champions League. A league for champions, no less.

Arsenal got walloped 2-0 by Porto and for dunno how many times this season, we deserved it. Despite watching only 30 min of the match, it doesn't take a rocket scientist with IQ 240 to notice that Song, Diaby, Denilson are crappish and crap. Sometimes it makes us wonder where is all the 'quality' wenger claims to see every trng. Nevertheless, we qualify as second best in our group and thats certainly not the worst option around (barca aside, gulps). Finishing 1st might see us matching up against real, inter and sharks like those. Its never gonna be easy in the UCL.

Speaking of beautiful football, i managed to spend some of my time watching Lyon vs Bayern and what an amazing match that was. Despite going down 3-0 by halftime, Lyon almost fought back and lost to a mere 3-2. What scared the hell out of me was the ability of Karim Benzema.

I repeat, Karim Benzema. This guy will become a god. In one or two years, teams will start paying stupid money like 120 million pounds jus to get both of his legs.

He's too good to be true. Apart from his pace (which is very speedy as well), he is very much like a young Henry. Only that Henry was a wee bit faster than him i feel. But benzema plays with elegance and flair which makes any soccer neutral salivate. He has amazing balance and strength, a superb first touch, can head the ball, can power the ball, has the composure to finish, dribbles with head up, holding up ball, searching for teammates in crowded scenarios (Like DB10), wide range of passing skills, speedy pace and acceleration and hes young and FRENCH. The last point is enough to prove that Wenger is dreaming of him as arsenal striker every single night when he sleeps. Benzema is too impressive and i only hope he doesn't end up with chelsea or Man utd.

Apart from that, i noticed that most european teams have a considerable strong midfield compared to arsenal. Lyon's toulalan and makoun are very good. So is veloso for sporting lisbon. Arsenal obviously needs quality like those to play alongside fabregas.

Its 20 days to the transfer window. For the first time in my arsenal-supporting life, i have to say, Wenger must sign one, if not two quality midfielders.

It is our only hope of any glory this season.

No, depending on Diaby and Song and Denilson will not get you the title. They are, at best, good squad players but not 1st team Arsenal quality.

Its a long way to the end of season.
C'mon you gunners!
