We could have played really well and still lost but as it is we didn't turn up but also finished the game without adding to the casualty list.

Flamini is really integral to the Arsenal cause and if he his gone then the opponents have to much time on their hands to conjure up something

Ac Milan is our second most important priority of the season. I am still waiting to hear from the boss about the current state of our squad

The biggest disgrace of all was Emmanuel Eboue. He was so anonymous in the first period that his red-card challenge on Evra five minutes into the second-half was his first meaningful contribution to the game

What I will say is that we will NOT witness a display like that on Wednesday that is for certain. Flamini, Cesc, Gallas and Toure will start the game with 100% intensity

That is a team which is either injured, doubtful or missing for other reasons. Surely that is a stronger side than we can put out at present.

I have a pretty good feeling about the game on the whole though. Manchester United are not in the best of form right now and I just feel that playing at Old Trafford will actually help motivate

I was hoping he would get his chance in the center of midfield alongside Gilberto but unfortunately his injury will keep him out of the tie.

I remember a few years ago I thought to myself, what on earth are we going to do when Henry leaves? Everything goes through him, he is our creative force our goalscoring force

Quick point on big Phil Senderos. He is looking back to his best now and congratulations to him because he hasn't had the best of times recently
