Morning everyone. As you all know by now we play AC Milan at home tomorrow night. Should be a cracker. A good news story for us is that William Gallas will receive no punishment for his kick out at Nani during the match Saturday. My guess would be the FA like to watch that little prick get kicked. Next time aim for his head William.
I should have time to write tomorrow but I figured I'd do the preview today just in case. So to start off, as usual we'll go with the injury news.
We really have loads of great news on the injury front. Remember against United Arsene said we only had fourteen players that were healthy? Well now we've got most of them back. Theo Walcott, Gael Clichy, Emmanuel Adebayor, Denilson, Mathieu Flamini, and Bacary Sagna are all available again. This is brilliant news, especially at the two full back positions because Sagna and Clichy are infinitely better than Hoyte and Traore at this point. Their added attacking threat should really keep Milan's defense at bay as well.
Johan Djourou, Abou Diaby, Robin van Persie, and Tomas Rosicky are still out of the squad with injuries and there was no timetable for their return given by Arsene.
Mad Jens will stay in goal. Almunia is said to be "close, very close" to returning to action but Jens will be starting this one.
So I think the line-up will look like this:
Sagna-Gallas-Toure-Clichy
Walcott?-Cesc-Flamini-Hleb
Adebayor-Eduardo
Cesc Fabregas says he would love to have Samuel Eto'o on his team. Yeah me too Cesc, probably could've gotten him for Henry too (Yes still a bit bitter.)
See he has to clarify that he wants him on his team at Arsenal so the Catalan press don't piss themselves with glee at the thought of Cesc coming to their scummy team.
Confidence is always important in Champion's League ties like this one, and Arsene Wenger has shown it, saying that we can be the team to beat Milan.
Great News! AC Milan and Juventus are still somehow interested in buying Emmanuel Eboue from us! I don't know how because he is complete shite but who cares! Sell him right now! I can't wait to get him out of the club. He has probably been my least favorite player at the club...right up there with Ashley Cole. That's pretty bad.
And I've gotta go. Enjoy that lot and I'll get back with you tomorrow. Later

I am so ridiculously excited for this match. For whatever reason, AC Milan is one of my most hated teams and I've been dreaming of a chance for Arsenal to get at them.
I agree that 4-4-2 is the way to go, and while I can't stand Eboue I think we'll probably see him starting tomorrow :(
The AC Milan goalkeeping situation is pretty intriguing. Dida is out with a back injury, and supposedly their 2nd choice disclocated a finger. That leaves them with one goalkeeper, a guy who hasn't played a competitive match since 2003!
