Arsenal are through to the Champions League Group Stage where they'll have home and away matches against Porto, Fenerbahce, and Dynamo Kiev.
They made it into today's Champions League group stage draw by defeating FC Twente 6-0 on aggregate in the 3rd qualifying round. Goals from the second leg, a 4-0 home victory for Arsenal, are embedded below.
I had forgotten how nice it is when Arsenal score four goals. The opener from Nasri is nice.

It's always nice to see the Champions League draw. Is 334 still giving odds on Bordeaux making the final? Based on name recognition alone, Group H looks pretty tough. Arsenal's draw is pretty easy. Anything less than top of the table will be a crushing disappointment.
P.S. The bagel is back! I am expecting a link in the sidebar forthwith.
We've had that Beef Bagel link up since you first told mentioned it - it's a little buried, but it's in there. That is some long-winded blogging, though.
It would be very cool to see Bordeaux have a good run. They have a couple interesting players, but the hard part about trying to follow Bordeaux is the turnover.
Group H does look like a tough one, but there are a bunch of tough ones. Group D could be tricky for Liverpool.
I would tend to agree that Arsenal have a relatively easy draw. Barcelona's draw looks easy.
