The outstanding Arsenal midfielder has been talking about how he loves to be involved in the way that Arsenal play, and he thinks his team should not be afraid of anyone in the Champions League, especially if they can get hold of Liverpool's Alonso. “I’d love it,” he says. “What can I say? He’s my friend but apart from that he’s a professional. He’s a great passer of the ball, he works hard defensively, he’s scoring goals now.

Bad move. ---Quote--- *LUCERNE, Switzerland (http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/11/30/sports/soccer.php#):* The Champions League final will be moved from its traditional Wednesday night slot and instead be held on a Saturday night, Michel Platini, the president of UEFA, announced Friday. The decision was made at a meeting of UEFA's executive committee in Lucerne. The change will come into effect beginning with the 2009-10 season.

"I did not see many children or families in Athens because Wednesday is a school night," Platini said, referring to last season's final. "Moving it to Saturday should make it more of a family occasion." ---End Quote--- ...
