Clichy has been brilliant so far. Sometimes his decision-making can be a bit off and he takes risks like trying to get throw-ins by kicking against a player, which can be risky if it doesn't work. That's what makes him good though, he's got balls. He looked in a different league to Nicky Shorey...

Ronaldo is a fine player. Scores lots and lots more goals than Hleb. But for me Hleb dictates a game better, and often does his best work deeper than Ronaldo. I always call Hleb the assistor to the assistor. He always does the groundwork earlier on in a move and gets no credit for it- until this...

They don't understand football Azzuri. Because English football is played at such a fast pace, the fans want everything done here and now. They often think Hleb dwells on the ball and slows play up when in fact he was processing all the options and analysing the right option to use. Just look at...

Okay, maybe I went bit overboard with Maradona, but Hleb is definately more skillful than Ronaldo at Man United. Has anyone ever seen Ronaldo play well against a good team, in England or in Europe? I havent. Yeah, it's quite funny to see the all the Arsenal fans jumping on the Hleb bandwagon...

Sorry, Kaka as well. Although Kaka is more of a penetrative runner. Big guy, big stride. So maybe not more skillful. Better player though.

Alexander Hleb is the most skillful player in Europe after Messi and a prime Ronaldinho. Absolute genius this guy. If he had more confidence you would be talking Maradona level.

Commiserations. Just remember, those two nights back in the spring Juve locked horns with the mighty Arsenal. Through your current darkness, may you find light and joy in now supporting the gunners. Watch the EPL.

How the hell was Reyes booked for time-wasting? What a joke. First Flamini card was ridiculous too. The guy dived. This referee is ruining the game- far too many free kicks and very niggly. The real football game was in London.

Arsenal team for tomorrow: Lehmann Eboue Toure Senderos Flamini Gilberto Hleb Fabregas Pires Reyes Henry Looks pretty damned good If I...

He must be shite then. Well, here we are chaps, round two. If Arsenal throw this away I will probably look at the TV in a trance for a week. I can't take another Valencia, 2001/2003, take your pick. If you lot win, I hope it's because you deserve it, not some slice of luck that seems to...

Isn't giannacheda much cop then?

Del Piero out! Can cross lucky free-kicks off the fear list.

I take it the pitch is in a bad state. Clever Juve, very clever. Trying the old Chelsea tactic of ruining the pitch to compromise our passing game. This could be the reason we get knocked out on Wednesday.

How bad is your pitch by the way? I've heard that it's not in great shape. I, placing myself as a representative of Arsenal, want that pitch looking bada bing so we can strutt our stuff and leave Juve dancing an old time waltz. Yee.......Ha!

yep, antonio chimenti, didn't he play for lecce before Juve. I know it's annoying having another fan using a match as an example when he doesn't know the full story, ie.Chimenti's mistakes, but I remember Vieira and emerson seemed lethargic and I thought then you were beatable.

remember that game. It was strange, because we were relying on Deportivo beating Leverkusen, and only then would a win over Juve have put us through. I sensed the players knew it wasn't gonna be our night. It was a dreary sleepy game with arsenal having the better chances. If I remember...

3-1 then or something. Anyway, Milan, like Arsenal, had individuals to expose your limitations while teams like Lecce and Empoli are powerless to trouble you.

I saw Juve at the start of the season, was very impressed. Around that time however I remember watching you lose 3-0 to Milan and thinking to myself are juve that good or they just solid to the extent that mid-table italian teams can't break them down and lie down to them. You never know...

considering he has been in gradual decline for the last three years, I very much doubt it. But hey, you never know.

Saying juve are the better side on paper doesn't mean much really does it? In about three years time, all these young arsenal players will most likely on paper be better than another young team, who will then spank arsenal. Just because some journalist has not officially labelled Cesc fabregas...
