So Champions League football is back and Arsenal faced PSV Eindhoven at the Philips Stadium.

The first thing I noticed as the game started is that Arsene Wenger and William Gallas have had words at some point during his lay off

For the first time in a long while its very difficult to see where the goals are going to come from. We used to be the side that teams could not contain because the goals were spread around so many players.

When I heard the line up at 3.30pm I had a little smile on my face. The beast and Henry playing up top for the first time together.

Arsenal started the better side without having much of an end product. Henry like in the last few games was not very involved in the play.

Another thrilling game in the carling cup this year for the gunners. The first half was pretty non eventful. Neither side wanted to concede and it showed. Aliadiere was extremely quiet in the first half an hour or so. He is a strange player. Looks decent on the ball, makes good intelligent runs off the ball the trouble is that he tends to run as far away from the ball as possible.

As we expected they closed us down at every opportunity. Cesc who I thought was going to be rested wasn't allowed the space that he got in the second half at Shite Hart Lane. So wasn't able to dictate the play as we are used to.

Bring em on I say! Bolton have been our problem side over the last few years, managing to rough us up and not allowing us to play our football.

What a wonderful game of football at White Hart Lane last night. Tottenham as expected put out the strongest side that they could field. Arsenal had 3 first team players in Toure, Senderos and surprisingly Cesc Fabregas. The rest of our side was made up of promising talent such as the impressive Brazilian Denilson. I've mentioned it in a previous article but the young Jackson five looking Brazilian has a little Cesc Fabregas about him.

The kids against the scum, almost sounds a bit unfair doesn't it? The truth of the matter is that the kids are probably better technically than the Tottenham first team, and there is not much chance of Spurs playing anything other than their strongest side as it is rare that they get this close to silverware regardless of it being the worthless cup.
