'SUPER ARSENAL'S ART ATTACK! '

ARSENAL turned football into a refined form of art last night and painted a picture bursting with colourful dreams of European glory. The flamboyant strokes of the Frenchmen Robert Pires and Thierry Henry and a deft finishing touch from the old Dutch master Dennis Bergkamp produced a series of stunning goals which ought to have been, well... framed.

'ARSENAL'S CLASS A LESSON TO GERMANS'

This was a breathtaking, 24-carat gold Arsenal performance and prompted Bayer Leverkusen coach Klaus Toppmoller to pay an unprecedented tribute to his conquerors.

In more than 30 years covering European football I've never known a beaten coach give such a generous and sincere compliment to an English club. "You have to acknowledge and admire the class of Arsenal," he said. "They were tactically very good. They anticipated well, they were very compact in defence and in Patrick Vieira they had a player who won practically every fight in midfield. It's not surprising every top club wants to buy him."

'ARSENAL'S SWEET MUSIC LED BY HENRY'

ARSENE WENGER claimed this week that the leading clubs around Europe were starting to regard Arsenal as equals and, just to prove the point, his team last night produced a performance that should have turned respect to fear. This was a display of such sweeping beauty that it could be set to music. Robert Pires, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira were all outstanding but leader of the band was the majestic Thierry Henry.

Indded, music, i'd certainly agree with that, they are in awesome form...well done to the Gunners. My next favourite team is Deportivo La Croruna (shame they are in the same group) but Deportivo are up against the wall next Tuesday at Highbury...I now tip both Arsenal and Deportivo to go through.
