And we are looking at couple of years of underinvestment in players' portfolio (paying off the Emirates and all). Anyway, do come for a game (and dinner).<BR/><BR/>Btw. interesting quote from Eric about making his reds like whites, that explains a lot.

Haven't been to a game at the Emirates yet, will try to get there this year.<BR/><BR/>I sure hope Eduardo makes a full recovery. I wasn't a huge fan at first, I thought he was a bit out of his depth, but he was really coming on and was starting to find his way in the team and becoming a first class finisher (which is really what you need at Arsenal, with all the chances we create). That was an awful, brutal injury for which there was no good reason.<BR/><BR/>While I really wanted David Silva, I'm pretty happy with Nasri and I think Theo should prove a lot to handle. We really need defensive cover, unless Song turns out to be the answer. I don't have the same faith in Senderos and Djourou that Wenger does.the vlmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01721550516880594363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272356477626694495.post-19143340245587849932008-08-07T06:59:00.000-07:002008-08-07T06:59:00.000-07:00I definitely see more delicacy and harmony now.

Over the past few years, I've seen a refinement and an easing up on acidity, which could be spiky in the late 1990s wines I had, but not a wholesale change of direction.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254237968195126520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272356477626694495.post-21573397159995975352008-08-06T10:56:00.000-07:002008-08-06T10:56:00.000-07:00I haven't had the 2006 Brézème yet, but the 2004 a...I haven't had the 2006 Brézème yet, but the 2004 and 2005 versions are both delightful.<BR/><BR/>The Pergault rouge et blanc are both fantastic IMO.<BR/><BR/>Good to see you hear, Tin.<BR/><BR/>Are you a Tottenham supporter now?the vlmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01721550516880594363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272356477626694495.post-52678075396657004082008-08-06T08:16:00.000-07:002008-08-06T08:16:00.000-07:00VLM,Good notes on Texier (btw. thanks for the tip)...VLM,<BR/>Good notes on Texier (btw. thanks for the tip)and nice point about the balance and gentleness of his wines. Although, I have to say that I find his 06CdRV, Brezme a little uninteresting, a bit pedestrian. Unlike his 06 Domaine de Pergault, VV, Blanc which I find fabulous, fresh, elegant and 'electric' (to quote).tinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504263926069396894noreply@blogger.com
