Arsenal are cursed I tell you cursed!

Barcelona suffered a humiliating 2-0 home defeat to Hercules when Nelson Valdez struck twice to give the tiny promoted club a shock victory at a stunned Camp Noú; I think that result, along with Inter's win in last seasons ECL shows that Arsenal where too starstruck to beat this so called 'team from another planet' another planet? pah!
Liver bird not flying high

Half a century of hurt
So Harry 'i'm not a wheeler dealer' Redknapp looks forward to a night at the Lane unlike any seen for 49 years (yes 49 years!). Those Sky+ boxes will be taking a beating tonight as Sp*rs fans record Eastenders. After all a lifetime with a Tuesday and Wednesday Soap Opera habit is hard to break.
England's Arsenal play Portugal's Arsenal at Arsenal's Emirates stadium as Arsenal welcome the Arsenalistas of Braga
Braga have been known as Arsenal do Minho and changed their kits from green-and-white hoops to their Arsenal-style red in 1920 when their then-coach Jozef Szabo, following a trip to Highbury, ordered the club to adopt new colours to establish their own identity (Braga even renamed their youth team Arsenal do Braga). The fans of Braga are known as Arsenalistas due to their teams uniforms that resemble that of The Arsenal.
