PSG brushed aside

The first match of the season at home results in a win. We beat PSG 2-1, thanks to goals from Mathieu Flamini and Nicklas Bendtner. The team put out was pretty strong but without any wingers. Diaby and Flamini were on the wings. I couldn't see the match, but after reading the reports it's pretty clear that Alex Hleb, Gael Clichy and Eboue had one hell of a game. Eboue played on the right wing after half time and looked threatening. With this performance, Wenger must have made up his mind to play him there sometimes with Sagna at right back.

Bendtner also had a good game. He showed glimpses of his talent and proved why there was so much interest in him. At just 18, he's a really good prospect. And the best thing about him is that he's got good physique along with speed and technique. We just have to keep him away from penalty kicks so that he doesn't miss more like he did yesterday.

The post match interview with Wenger was pretty interesting. He said he might sign more if he
finds the right players. There was questions about Anelka raised again, but Wenger any bid, but refused to deny interest in him. If he does sign him, we might see Eduardo on the left and Anelka upfront.

The Arsenal x Inter Milan game is going on and its 0-0 after 24 minutes. As usual I'm on live scores.

Elsewhere, Fabregas says he's ready to captain the side.

"While I respect the opinions of Henry and Ljungberg, I believe this team can fight for the title. What I say is not madness. We got to the Champions League final in 2005, often playing without players like Henry, Ljungberg and Ashley Cole.
I have matured very much over the last two years and I am prepared to be the leader of the team".

It's a good sign that a player wants to shoulder responsibility. And even at this young age, i think Fabregas has got it in him to lead the team. He has shouldered the responsibility last term and there were times when he virtually controlled the game all by himself. Anyway, we've got Gilberto now. And it's always good to have others who can share the leadership of the team.

And Reyes' transfer might not happen in the near future. And it might not happen at all. Lyon is showing interest but he's still crying for a move to Madrid. Poor boy.
