Congratulations to Rangers, Arsenal and Manchester United who all secured victories in their opening group games last night. Congratulations also to Liverpool who secured a credible draw away from home against Porto. Commiserations to Chelsea who could only manage a draw at home against Norwegian champions Rosenborg and to Celtic who went down 2-0 to an impressive Shakhtar Donetsk team in the Ukraine.
A special mention must go to Arsenal for their 3-0 victory over a Sevilla team who have won the UEFA Cup back-to-back in the last two years and who came mighty close to winning La Liga last season. Arsenal were not tipped to do anything in any competition this season with many people actually predicting they would finish outside the top four however, they have started domestically and in Europe and if they continue this impressive form they are sure to make an impact in the Premiership and Champions League
