Vertonghen admits Arsenal interest

He could be reunited with Thomas Vermaelen, looks great ... love it

Holy cow, Madrid drew at the Bernabeu. Eight points behind, with a classico to go at Camp Nou. Dim ray of hope, here we come!

rumor: meh. don't think he would displace vermaelen or koscielny.

el classico: sure i hate madrid, but i hate barcelona more.

and Duke goes down for the dirt nap!

Vertonghen could play in the middle and Vermaelen can move over to left back.

Yes, but what signing a left back (or moving a center back to left back) do to Kieran Gibbs' development?

IMO Gibbs has been less than impressive... when he has not been injured.

Yeah, just having some fun with you, in the old fn tradition of bashing each others' teams. The reference was to an actual quote from Wenger last summer, shortly before he signed Andre Santos.

Well played..

Mike and Mike said this morning only one person on the ESPN bracket tournament has all sweet sixteen teams correct... that 1 out of 6.5 million.

I have 8 of the Sweet 16 left. My bracket has more holes in it than Arsenal's set piece defense.

I have 10.

#### G-town and Bayern for losing to NC State.

I haven't looked at my bracket since the tournament started.

I'm running the office pool so I had to check last night... it was a little depressing.

Florida State killed mine last night.

Basketball is dead to me.

Watched Barcelona embarrass Sevilla and Bayern demolish Hertha. With those results you would think I was a Sevilla and Hertha fan...

Also, watched the Napoli / Udinese tie. That was a gut-wrencher. Not convinced we earned the point, but I will take it all the same.

RSL leads the power rankings.

Typical FN. Slowing down, freezing... ****!
