GREAT draw !

Three potential winners can go out.

Good one for the German media – Arsene can speak to them in their own language.

The TV and radio boys really appreciate that.

Ballack is a German with Brazilian skill.

Bayern Munich score many goals from crosses, so Arsenal have eight weeks to learn how to defend corners, free-kicks and crosses.

Miracles do happen. New year, new skills !

Lehmann will be gutted to miss Kahn’s team.

I don’t think Jens will play for Arsenal again. But you never know.

In football, February 22nd is an aeon away.

JUVENTUS will beat Real Madrid.

CHELSEA will shade Barcelona, but should provide two spectacular games.

Eto’o and Ronaldinho will make it exciting.

FERGIE said yesterday that United have never played AC Milan, so they would draw them.

Now they have.

Shevchenko will show Van Nistelrooy who is the guv’nor.

Scholes and Keane won’t get within two yards of Kaka.
