An all-Brazilian affair

Last night's 2-1 home victory over Reading was just the perfect response to end a dreary three match Cup defeat streak. It was something that the Gunners were not quite accustomed to. That losing streak ended all domestic Cup hopes.

Well, Reading nearly forced a draw. Thanks to Jens Lehmann's superb save. Around half-way through the match, the German was seen screaming at Gallas. I'm not sure if it was his quick temper or his total commitment to the cause.

In all, it was a deserving victory for the Gunners.... A fifth consecutive league win at the Emirates Stadium. Once again, Hleb was magical. Twisting, turning and creating. The Cesc spurned a couple of easy chances. The two goals came from the boys from Brazil. Gilberto scored from the penalty and the Beast striking home after steam rolling past the Reading defence.

Talking about Wenger's foreign policy, about a quarter of the Arsenal team were Brazilian. The next one is the tricky tie against PSV. Let's hope the Gunners win and progress through the Champions League. Against the Royals, the Gunners actually look quite weak without Titi.
