Redcurrant morning

Elation at last night's footie will last at least until the Highbury match, when Arsenal will return to their former selves. What happened? That's the best that I've seen Ljungberg play this season and Gilberto ever. Our best two players were Fabregas and Eboue (who completely logged on Robinho), but everyone played well. The first English side to win in the Bernabeu, without an Englishman in the side! Which brings me to Alan Hansen.
He claims that we have to "start buying English players again", yet somehow we managed to win without having Chris Sutton up front. According to the Scot, Wenger's "young players are too young and his old players are too old", but my feeling is age has nothing to do with it, particularly as Hansen's most famous lack of prescience was that "you can't win anything with kids" and that Milan reached last year's Champions League final with Cafu, Costacurta and Maldini at a combined age of about 473.
Hansen's article may have been a bit of a Phil Space piece, but my most eloquent response can only be 1-0 to the Arsenal...
