Arsenal was led by new skipper Cesc as they hosted Dynamo Kiev last night. Ex-skipper Gallas was back and again in the centre of things at the Emirates. He even turned the ball in at one point but was ruled offside.
In the second half, Wenger sent in the pink-booted Bendtner and Wilshire. The latter is now the youngest ever Gunner to play in Europe.
Just as the match looked like it would end in stalemate, Captain Cesc free-kicked a long ball to Bendtner who kept his cool and scored. And seconds later, Olexandr Aliev who earlier pulled an act worthy of an Oscar (rolling around as if in pain before picking himself up with miraculous speed when Kiev regained possession) received a red card for stupidly pushing the referee away at a free-kick.
The Gunners finally slaughtered the chicken kiev to record a familiar scoreline.
BBC Sport Player Rater man of the match on 90 minutes: Arsenal’s Cesc Fàbregas - 7.83 (on 90 minutes).

The US politicians had, towards the end of last week, told the car-makers giants General Motors, Ford and Chrysler to come up with their own recovery plan by 2 December if they want a Government bail-out. Soon after, Citigroup sought emergency funding and was granted a rescue plan. Go here to find out why Citigroup got rescued and not Lehman.
Ahh, if only we get incentive to shop as the Taiwanese do!

I’m sure you’ve seen the new ‘Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme’ ad featuring James Franco (he of the Spiderman fame). I think it was launched as early as August 2008 but apparently it has only hit the Malaysian TV screens. The video clip ad lasts about 30 seconds and Róisín Murphy’s version of Brian Ferry's Slave to Love provides the soundtrack.
This ad follows the ‘Gucci by Gucci’ ad (for women) which featured models Raquel Zimmerman, Natasha Poly and Freja Beha Erichsen with Heart of Glass by Blondie as soundtrack.
I think I prefer the ‘Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme’ ad. How about you?
