Post season

Well post season has been a nightmare. Ok there has been my dose of cricket but there was no football or ice hockey.

However that was all over after a trip to the emirates for the emirates cup. We trecked up to my brothers me and dan in his car, my mum dad and bandit in my dads car. The trip up was funny with mine and dans conversations getting deep at times.

However it was off to nene park to watch an arsenal reserve team play rushden and diamonds, all in all it was a good game with arsenal winning 2-0 and my dad talking to one of the players dads. However i remember saying to dan the last game before this we had been to was the fa cup final, which had a different beauty to a game at nene park.

It was off to the emirates, however traffic delays etc and getting a beer in the ground we only caught the end of the first game between hamburg and Real Madrid. This i was to find out i was extremely happy for as me and dan were sat infront of these annoying italian fans that only ever said ahhhh pavel pavel and thiago which annoyed the hell out of me. But when it came to arsenals game Juventus won 1-0 which annoyed the hell out of me as they played terrible however the worst was to come.

We walked out of the ground and met my dad and brother. We all thought we would be clever and avoid arsenal tube station and go to finsbury park which was just up the road, but unfortunatley a couple of thousand people had the same idea. We queued for about an hour as the police would not let anyone cross until a certain time. Eventually we got back to my brithers and we swore it would be different the next day.

The next day came and there was no traffic however coming out of finsbury park tube station a 15 year old who was rather intoxicated proceeded to throw up all over my brothers shirt. After laughing loads he had to go and buy a new shirt and got the arsenal away shirt. We found a decent chippy and went to a pub after finding a quicker way out of the tube and went to a pub for a drink. The route was indeed quicker after the game and when we got home we were happy with an arsenal 1-0 win over real madrid. The game was made better when a couple of guys behind me continued to argue about the adebyor saga.

The trip home was fun with dan proceeding to put unleaded petrol in his diesel car though we managed to get home and all in all was a great weekend.
