Arsenal have announced that Valencia will be replacing Hamburg in the tournament. They have qualified for the Intertoto Cup, which has resulted in a clash of fixtures over the same weekend.

But the tournament will be much more exciting with a top Spanish side in it.

I'm going as well!!!

Good to see isn't it? Hopefully Edu doesn't injure his knee again. He was such a gentlemen and he really deserves a round of applause at AG

You're right mate. Edu was a loyal player for us and served us well. I remember some important goals he scored (chelsea away) which made him a fans favourite at Old Highbury.

Edu was a top class player for us - can't forget that winner at Stamford Bridge or the solo effort away to Celta Vigo. Top quality.

As for Hamburg, looks like they will have to play something like 254 games if they are to win the UEFA Cup. Makes me think football will disappear up its own ass unless some sense prevails.
