The word of the weekend was...draw.
From London to Turin, honors even was the overriding theme to the past few days in Europe's marquee matches. The last-gasp 2-2 draw the Emirates saw Arsenal's central defensive duo step up to the level of United's pair, (http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2205363,00.html) while others have concentrated on why Sir Alex's investment in Anderson is starting to show some nice dividends.

I don't agree with David Pleat's view that Ryan Giggs provided the coal for United's engine. (http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2007/11/05/how_giggs_personified_the_indu.html)
Another axe falls in the Premier League. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wigan_athletic/7078772.stm)
As for the derby D'Italia, Mauro Camoranesi's tying goal gave Juventus at least of breath of hope in keeping pace with Inter. (http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/sa0708/juv-int.html) It wasn't do or die, this one; Juventus is only four points behind in fourth while Roma's three behind. Inter has the best talent and depth in Serie A at this point; doesn't mean you'll win it in the end.
While Madrid stumbled, Barca and Villarreal gained ground in La Liga. (http://football.guardian.co.uk/breakingnews/feedstory/0,,-7049739,00.html)
