arsenal qualify, baby!

henry scored one in the first half, then robin van persie came on to seal the deal in the last eight minutes with a fine brace. apparently sparta prague put up a good fight in the first half, but it just wasn't enough. and now we're in the group of 16. what a beautiful thing. only the arse and lyon have moved on. so we can relax until january, taking heart in the fact that we've still got hleb, ljungberg and cole to bring back to the fold, bringing us back to full strength.

and then there's man utd. losing one nil to lille is not good; in fact it stinks. but, then, it's not nearly as bad as chelsea losing one nil to betis. bwahahahahaha!

oh yeah, did i mention that arsenal have already qualified?
