What a juicy tie we have - Arsenal v AC Milan
When I found it about it last night, I was gobsmacked as a Gooner. Not in horror but in sheer delight. It's a tough match-up but this is what it's all about. This is the kind of team that the Gooners want to see their team playing against.

After last night's draw for the last 16 teams in the UEFA Champions League for the knock-out phase, this tie was THE pick of the lot. I believe a great number of football fans want to see the exuberant "kids" of Arsenal match up against the cunning "old" men of AC Milan. Cesc Fabregas, the up-and-coming all-round creative midfielder against the current king of that position, Kaka. Mmm...

Hopefully, AC Milan would not resort to their "dark" arts. It would be a shame because I do think the Arsenal team must be relishing going against them using technical skill and pure football. Will the kids of Arsenal be outwitted by the old men of AC Milan? Definitely staying tuned this February 2008 for the 1st leg of the matches with Arsenal playing at home in Ashburton Grove for the first leg.

*Dreams of a similar 5-1 winning scoreline for Arsenal in the San Siro Stadium in March 2008 but this time against the red half of Milan*
