League cup winner

Don't be fooled by the "Arsenal Youngsters" line that's put out by our lesser London neighbours. 10 of the 14 Arsenal players today are older than Mikel Jon Obi. Their keeper, Almunia, is older than 11 of our 14 that played! With an average age difference of 22 versus 25, it's hardly Kids v Pensioners.
Silverware. Yum. Isn't it nice. Bet you'd like some of that Arsene - to try and salvage something from your 'building' season? It wasn't to be though - with two goals from Didier Drogba and the same amount off the woodwork the class was apparent even though we're only running on 4 cylinders rather than 12 at the moment.
What more can you say about the man John Terry. Pure class. Always puts the team before himself. They can trip him and kick him but you know he'll just come back for more. Diaby's kick to John's face was hardly 'accidental' when you see how high his boot was (see the pic).
With games coming thick and fast we're looking forward to having our lion back in the realm as we attempt to do just as well in the Champions League and FA Cup and claw back the 9pts the Mancs have on us.
Onwards and upwards,
