Come on!!

Arsenal beat Barcelona 2-1
ARSENAL BEAT BARCELONA 2-1

I want to write that over and over again. Arsenal beat the best team in the world, possibly the best team ever. And better yet, they came back from a goal down to beat the best team ever. This can only bode well for their trip to the Nou Camp in early March for the second leg. I'll bet Barca didn't think they'd be leaving The Emirates with anything less than a draw, and probably more like an emphatic win. They looked a little shell-shocked afterwards (or was that just this Arsenal-fans mind imagining things?).

I have great fear and trepidation for the second leg. I know I should be all upbeat and endlessly positive like many Arsenal fans I know (football fans in general - they seem a very optimistic - blinded - lot), and usually I am the most optimistic person you'll ever meet, but for some reason when it comes to the Arse I just can't look at that glass and see it half full. It's not even half empty; it's leaking (that sounds disgusting but you know what I mean). Then again, I had this same feeling before last night and how beautifully they proved me wrong.

Ach... I have to leave! Got a dinner date and may well be late. Will continue this when I get home tonight. Until then, dear readers.

I'll keep you blogged...
