Udinese 1 - 2 Arsenal (agg 1 - 3)...

Thank goodness for that. Arsenal are through to the UEFA Champions League after their second leg game in Italy. It'll be a 14th consecutive season for us to be in that competition.

Udinese scored in the first half, Robin Van Persie got an equaliser in the second half and Theo Walcott sealed the 2-1 win (3-1 on aggregate). The draw takes place later today for the group stages. I'll be watching.

Update: We'll meet Marseille, Olympiakos and Dortmund in the Champions League group stages:
