Porto, The Emirates, Wenger's decade, Gallas

So in the end a comfortable win against Porto who looked good in possession but lacked any real penetration.

A first half headed goal from Henry (thanks to a brilliant cross from Eboue, who has apparently been working on them in training) and an economic finish just after the re-start from Hleb (after more good work from Gallas and Henry) was enough to kill the game as a contest and ensure a fourth win on the trot, 3 more points and top spot in group G.

We played very well in patches and are really starting to use the flanks well, having the ability to cross the ball is excellent as not only does it give you that very option, it affords more chance of space opening up inside as the defender feels more inclined to close down to stop the cross. Basically we are playing excellent football and adapting well to our new surroundings which is crucial.

We are finding our feet in the new stadium and have ensured that our first win has not become an issue as we haven't allowed it to be. It's onwards and upwards and Tuesday showed that we can really hit the heights again.

We mixed it up really well and it was an attractive game to watch and I thought we fully deserved the win.

Le Boss celebrates his 10th year anniversary today and I for one Arsene salute you! What an absolutely massive impact he has had, not only on Arsenal, but on football in this country. Developing players like Bergkamp and Henry has really help to improve the quality of football in the legue. For a period just before and during the unbeaten run we were playing, in my humble opinion, the best football this country has ever seen.

Without being dramatic he has brought so much to the game it would be unfair to try and summise it in a media friendly sound bite. A great coach and a gentleman.

The news for Saturday is that if Djourou is not fit (having a fitness test tomorrow) then Alex Song, who has improved greatly over the last few months by all accounts, or Gilberto will deputise in defence.

However all is not as bad as it would appear. Gallas' hamstring injury appears to be a strain rather than a pull and so Charlton is the only game he should miss for the Arsenal which is promising news as he given us something extra and helped instill much needed belief in the side.
