If you are an Arsenal fan, your level of excitement should be deader than a dodo.

Wayne Bridge goes to Sunderland and Arsenal can heave a sigh of relief. Ravel Morrison, the Man Utd teenager with a self destructive streak but the skills of a young Paul Scholes, goes to West Ham.

Tonight Arsenal face a giant of a test when German club Borusssia Dortmund visit them at the Emirates in a winner takes all Group F Champions League clash. Any slip up tonight from either Arsenal, Marseille or Dortmund could effectively end their hopes of moving on to the knockout stage.

Liverpool and new owner John Henry (or John W. Henry as they seem to prefer across the pond) finally got their man yesterday in agreeing to a transfer fee of up to £22.8 million with Dutch giants Ajax for Luis Suarez. (Note: that's $36.2 million for you Yanks.)
