Arsenal got the Champions League campaign off to a positive start with an important 2-0 win away at Sparta Prague. For some d$&m reason, ESPN isn't televising Champions League qualifiers, so I haven't got any film to watch. From the reports, however, it was a smashing game with lots of action at both ends and plenty of pressure from the hosts on the Gunner goal sticks. Goals from Cesc in the 72nd and Alexander Hleb (who apparently woke up last week thinking he was Thierry Henry - 2 goals in 2 games!) in injury time.
I'm starting to think the post-Thierry days may be OK, anyways. Yes, I know its early days, yet, but nothing wrong with being an optimist, is there?
Over at the defending champions club, though, things are looking anything but bright, with a two-draw start to the season and a veritable Greek chorus of injured goal scorers. Drawn again at Portsmouth as both sides play tensies.
