What if....? Arsenal were to play Arsenal

I quite liked the idea behind this article in the Daily Telegraph and you wonder if this has happened, in some shape or form, during a training session at Arsenal. Of course being the media they couldn't even manage a light hearted article without one dig at the manager (see the last line). I think the truly remarkable thing is that our current midfield could easily have still been playing in the Carling Cup and whatever their limitations their performances at such a young age are truly remarkable. If we had the same system as Spain (and I don't want to see it in England) you could even have this "reserve" side playing as our second side in League 1 or the Championship. One other thing, if this game ever did take place I still reckon we could get 60,000 in the stadium to watch.

Meanwhile here in Switzerland I'm a little tired this morning and feeling a little shaken after fire engulfed the building opposite us. It started at 6.00am and I was woken by the screams of someone trying to wake up 2 people living in the house (above a nightclub/restuarant) and thankfully we think all were rescued before the fire really took hold. There are still plenty of fire engines around and the air is still full of smoke - rather scary really.

As for today's game it's good to see a balanced preview from oleole's very own Villa Blogger (doesn't have the same ring as Arseblogger) and couldn't disagree too much but if we play with the same commitment and effort as last week we can win this game. Of course, if John Carew gets on the pitch at any stage then we will immediately concede from a corner/free kick!
