  Two - nil to the Ar-se-nal!
There are many reasons for me to feel a certain affinity with a North London club, carissimo j'accuse. Akin to your falling for Alsacian food, I would surmise.

And since the Brits have a beautiful sense of humour, they call themselves The Gooners. Yes I know Peter Sellers and all that. Great chap he was too.

Since you like humour, here's a prophetic quiz question lifted from yesterday's match programme:

"Tonight we are playing Juventus. What is their nickname?"

A) The Old Lady
B) The Creeping Man
C) The Groaning Grandad.

"one - nil to the Arsenal"
"two - nil to the Arsenal"
"Arsene Wenger's Red Army"
"Goo - ners, Goo - ners"

har di har har...

I wish I was optimistic enough to tell you to wait till wednesday but with a team that plays like 11 (or 9) chickens after a bottle of absynthe, I can't be too arrogant can I?
 
Zebina did seem to have downed a few glasses of the green stuff, true.

But one thing I'll grant la Juve macchinosa - their "never say die attitude". If Arsenal travel to Turin pumped up with arrogance they may leave with a nasty surprise.
 
Well, I commend them on their macchinosa, but with them losing an average of a player every two minutes, there wouldn't have been many of them left if the game had gone on much longer.
