i'm sincerely shocked. i'm so proud of my Gunners. regardless who your team is - barcelona or arsenal - this was a pretty amazing game from start to finish.
the REAL test is when Arsenal go on the road to Barcelona for the second leg of this tie in two weeks! stay tuned!!

Definitely, and with Hurtado back in the mix our back line and mids are going to be the best we've ever seen. Let's just see if Nkufo and Montero were able to work out some chemistry during the off season.

I sure hope so. Freddy was my boy after they finally benched him, and I'm hoping he can stay true to that form this year.

Fredy was a man reborn. Holy shit I'm excited to see if he can find some more of that fire.

"The Vancouver Whitecaps have reached a unique agreement with their historic Pacific Northwest rivals which will make it easier for fans to travel to away Major League Soccer games. Under the plan, the Whitecaps, Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders will make up to 500 tickets available for visiting fans. This will allow the away supporters to sit in the same section and cheer on their teams." (full article: thesoccerroom.com/?p=20113) Not sure if this has been brought up here before, but as a Whitecaps season ticket holder I am really glad that they went ahead and did this. I know the Sounders have a strong following so I am hoping a derby style rivalry will form. Would love to get down to Seattle to watch a game.

You totally should! I'm definitely going to be going to either the Portland game or the Vancouver game.

Fuck Portland. Vancouver we coo I'd really love to make it up to a Whitecaps game this year, I'm ridiculously excited about what the whole PNW will bring to the MLS this year.
