Getting through to the next round by playing Arsenal away was a difficult task, which was made an almost impossible one when they scored twice in the first 20 minutes. It was a fair result; they played better and deserved the qualification more than we did. We should have advanced to the next round when we had the advantage of playing at home. We should leave the FA behind us now and focus all our efforts to our main aim for this season, which is the Champions League.

Tomorrow, I will have my foot scaned, as I picked up an injury during the Arsenal game. Although during the game I did not realize how serious it was, I later found out that it was badly bruised. I will probably be fit for the next Premiership game, unfortunately I will not manage to play for Greece this week.
