Petrus 1988 – Highbury 2004: A Vintage Year for Wine And A Vintage Year for Football

Arsenal verses Alkmaar 2009: this was not a beery, blood and guts affair of Tottenham in the League or a high energy, alcoho pop fuelled Carling Cup encounter with Liverpool, this Champions League game was a fine red wine for the football connoisseur.

An excellent selection by Wenger: a blend of player that complemented each with the depth of Gallas and Vermaelen and the much anticipated combination of Fabregas, Arshavin and Nasri.
