Val... Perish the thought.... Mario the Masseur is a professional ...looks all Geezer to me, is he budgie smuggling though ????, looks like he has one hidden in his ?shreddies?......

What a treat for Val as Beckham returns to Old Trafford for the first time since leaving for Real Madrid, the 2nd leg is a very different prospect for Sir Alex than the first leg, even with Rooney fit Man U will be without Wes Brown, Ryan Giggs and Michael Carrick...

Bendtners hat trick as Arsenal finally hit the sweet spot 5-0, 6- 2 on aggregate and heading for the quarter finals.

On the night Arsenal blew Porto away and Bendtner looked a totally different player after Saturdays ?Charlie Chaplin? impression against Burnley ....How may misses...Kayoko ?

There?s no doubt that Arsenal turned on the class as Arshavin finally displayed the sort of class with Arsenals beautifully flowing style of football, it was a pleasure to watch.

Narsi taking over the Captains arm band in midfield from Faberge...sorry Fibreglass, made an innovative run, all ?boys own? stuff to score, it was moment to saviour...can?t imagine what state of euphoria Kayoko must have been in, he surely must have been giving himself a full pleasure experience after watching Arsenal prise open the Porto backline, time and time again,....

Will this herald a turn around in the chase for the Premiership title after Arsenal capitulated to sustained counter attacks in resent encounters with Man U and Chelsea.....Juries out on that one....well in Chelsea's case that will depend on whether John Terry can keep his trousers on long enough to score..
