Tuesday 27th November UEFA Champions League
Kev was "on the road" again...nipping next door armed with a bag of Fosters. We sat hoping to see the Gunners, with their smooth, silky football take on and beat Spanish high-flyers Sevilla.
What happened? The Arsenal were poor and got exactly what they deserved. Not good to watch but Sevilla are a strong team, full of International players -- while the team that Mr. Venger sent out was made up of too young kids and ring rusty old uns.... Gilberto and Senderos were awful. It was a Gunners team that looked like they had never played together before, and to be quite honest most of them hadn't! No Clichy, Gallas, Sagna, Flamini, Hleb, Rosicky, Adbayor, Diaby, Walcott.
I am in no position to argue with Vengers team selection, but playing a second string in the Champions League is not on, whether already qualified or not. Arsenal lost 3-1 and it could have been worse if Canute had had his shooting boots on...
Saturday .... looking at Eastwood v Prescot Cables ( this is to be on the UniBond TV site apparently) or South Normanton v Long Eaton...
