A bit lax on the posts due to unavoidable circumstances….
Well… Arsenal has finally won in Highbury thanks to a goal from Gallas, an own goal from Jagielka and a fine headed goal by Henry via a Eboue cross; all coming in in the second half after a fruitless but effective first.
Three days after that we got another clean sheet by beating Porto 2-0 with another headed goal from Henry and a low driven shot by Hleb. Fallout from that game though is that we’ll likely lose Gallas for the Charlton game this Saturday. I guess we’ll be seeing Hoyte at left back again and if Djourou is still not fit….. I shudder to know that Alex Song will be in central defense. All of a sudden, the loss of Cygan to Villareal seems so poignant 
On other fronts, Man Utd will be visiting the Toon, Liverpool will be at the Reebok and Chelsea will host the Villans. Speaking of which; Crouch scored a marvellous goal yesterday against Galatasaraay. To be fair, he had all the time in the world to line up his shot and Finnan’s cross was marvellous; still a brilliant goal. Drogba got his first-hat-trick for his club too. Maybe good enough to get him on my Premier League Fantasy team seeing as Chelsea has reverted to a 4-4-2 system. Cheers!

Arsenal don’t play at Highbury anymore… it’s now the Emirates Stadium or Ashburton Grove – take your pick, both names are correct.

Heh. Was seeing if someone spots that particular sentimentality seeing that Highbury is currently being torn down to accomodate flats and such…. I think it will take at least a trophy there for me to accept the Emirates as our home.
