The first teaser trailer for part five of the Harry Potter septology was secretly released on the web this week. Check it out above.

In the end it was the man who was the subject of my derision for most of the match, Emmanuel Eboue, who won the match for the Gunners, his 82nd minute goal proving the winner in a game that was much more difficult than it really should have been.

Robin van Persie’s 52nd minute strike leveled things for Arsenal after Van De Vaart’s 5th minute opener put Hamburg in the driver’s seat early.

A beautiful cross by Theo Walcott found the head of Julio Baptista for Arsenal’s third in the 87th minute to wrap up the three points.

Based on head to head, Arsenal are top of the group on 10 points. Porto also have 10 points, and will have all to play for when the Gunners visit Portugal in a fortnight’s time.

An already formidable challenge will be made all the more so by the abscence of Thierry Henry, who after collecting a yellow card tonight will be sitting out due to suspension.

A good win, but like I said, one that was much harder to get than it should have been.

Never ones to make things easy on themselves, the Giants gave up the outright lead in the NFC East with an embarrassing performance last night in Jacksonville.

Eli Manning in particular was exceptionally poor - except again - during the no-huddle. It really is becoming a pattern, and one has to begin looking quite seriously at the coaching.

So, Dallas pulls into a tie for first in the East, and after playing on Thanksgiving, will have a 10 day rest before visiting the Meadowlands.

Will the Giants be ready?

Thierry Henry’s exquisite free-kick equalizer salvages a point for the Gunners, but Arsenal yet again drop two points at home, this time to Newcastle United.

It really is a bit of a Jekyll & Hyde season so far, and finishing out of the top two seems increasingly likely with each of these dreadful home draws. Four points at home against Newcastle, Everton, Villa and Boro just doesn’t win championships.

Hamburg visit the Grove on Tuesday, in what has become a must-win European match for Arsenal. Kickoff is @ 2:45 PM ET, and coverage will be live here in the States on Setanta USA.

I don’t normally do this. Most of the time I like to let a movie stand the test of time before declaring it an all-time favorite. However, I’m going to make an exception.

“Casino Royale” is officially my second favorite Bond film ever, only slightly behind “From Russia With Love”.

BTW, I’m in love with Eva Green…

After a nearly flawless first 28 minutes, the Giants shit the bed in the latter 32, and blow a 10 point lead to lose at home to the Bears 38-20.

I’m off to bed.
