Eduardo, one of the 50 Trillion Brazilians currently playing in Europe, scored for what has to be the 495th time in the last 10 games and led Arsenal to a victory in the 3rd round of the FA cup. Although they were challenged slightly, they eventually kept the universe in order and came through with the win. What makes this unbelievably scary for all those who are not Arsenal fans (luckily not me), is that they have people like Gilberto, Denilson (the good, young one), and Eduardo who aren't even starters or first team regulars. With his team of teenagers who are closer in age to Tweens than young professionals, Arsene Wenger has made everyone eat crow for thinking he couldn't turn these tots into title contenders. We'll see how far he can take these kids, as I have a feeling they can suprise some people not only in the EPL but the Champions League as well.
Although this is a bit late, I always have to make time to talk about my team, Arsenal. They took the first leg of a Champions League qualifier 2-0 at Sparta Prague on wednesday, with Hleb and Fabregas(two members of my dominant EPL fantasy midfield) hitting for one each. This was a bit of a suprise to me, because I was fully expecting Jens Lehmann to gift the other team about three goals to make it a bit interesting. The baby gunners should be a fun team to watch this year with all the amazing young talent and the beautiful passing game which Wenger has always stressed, which by the way is a welcome respite from the long ball tactics employed by other EPL clubs........and on another note, I was wondering if anybody could hook me up with Bacary Sagna's hairstyle because I think its awesome. Really awesome.
