0-0!!
but that's ok, cos most who played were arsenal second-stringers (reserves)
so our reserves were quite good!
and it's still 7-0 on aggregate
and arsenal have already qualified for the top 16 in the UEFA Champions League

=)
ok, so i've received feedback that there is confusion between "cesc" and "fabregas"
steph thought they were different people
so here's a little intro to arsenal's 20-year old wonderkid:


1-his full name is francesc fabregas soler
referred to sometimes as cesc or fabregas
born May 4 1987


2-
plays for arsenal
central midfielder
inherited the number 4 shirt from patrick viera
usually takes the corner kicks, sometimes the free-kicks
he recently signed an 8 year-long contract with arsenal
which means he'll play for arsenal till 2014, i think
he was arsenal's youngest goalscorer in the league cup, at 16 years old


3-plays for spain
18 appearances, so far, in the senior squad
was the youngest player to be capped for Spain in 70 years
of course, he played for the youth team afore that



hmm, i guess that's all the important bits done
misc stuff:
  1. had english tuition three times a week, 3/4 hours each time when he first arrived at england (such dedication!)
  2. had an Irish landlady, together with philippe senderos
  3. i think he has a younger sister; not really sure about that
  4. he celebrated his first goal by having kinder bueno and a coke (my favs!)
    lol
  5. he was often criticised for having a lightweight build and a less aggressive style of play
    (by ppl like Cash-ley Cole)
    but he's proven to them that his skill and vision more than makes up for that
    "suck on that, you haters!"
    hahaha

"I have been educated to play good football, attractive football. I could never play in a team, who win everything, but where I’d be uncomfortable in the way they play. I certainly don’t enjoy a game if the ball is in the air all the time and I am always tackling. I want to win – but I also love Arsenal because of our playing style. If I had to spend 15 years playing ugly football, I’d prefer to do something else." -Cesc Fabregas
