Arsenal vs. Marseille

0-0, Champions League, Emirates, 2011-11-01

What an experience! The Emirates will never cease to amaze me, like the team that plays on its pitch.

Now, some critics said that it was a rather dismal game and such, but to me it certainly didn't feel that way! Marseille had some good chances early on but we grew into the game and Ramsey had a trio of great chances in the first half. The young Welshman is growing as a player, getting better and better by each game it seems, he had an amazing game at Stamford Bridge last weekend and yet another good display in this game. Szczesny gave us all a bit of a heart-attack though, showcasing some skills with his feet in the box, he sure is full of confidence!

When Robin came on in the second half it sounded as though we had just won the game! In fact, it started as soon as he started to warm up!

An amazing atmosphere it was, and I really enjoyed the game! We still have it in our own hands to qualify for the knock-out stages.

Injury Update;
-no new injuries from this game, Chamakh and Gibbs are still out for a while longer though. It certainly feels good to have Vermaelen back!
