On the Road Again!

Europa League semi-final this evening and we once again get to play against a Spanish La Liga side in CF Valencia. We reached this stage last year and were beaten by Athletico Madrid so we need to be at the top of our game at home to win tonight.   After a very disappointing April where there were more games lost than won, we go into the last few weeks of the normal season hoping to get to another Final.   Supporter confidence is low!  See what happens? Update 10.36pm Won. 3-1. Incredibly should have been more. Two goals from Lacazette and one from Aubameyang. Laca had two sitters get away...  Off to Spain a week tonight.

So Arsenal have made it to record 19th FA Cup Final and of the previous 18, 11 have been won. A record currently shared with Manchester United. As last year we were drawn against a club from the lower division and it proved to to be slightly different as we won in extra time rather than penalties like last year. Although I won a ticket in the ballot, I had to sell it to Alex as I am only two weeks on from the heart attack and simply not fit enough to go. So I watched on TV instead. Nerve wracking? Yes!    Today, Sunday, was the second semi-final and that went against the odds with Aston Villa beating Liverpool 2-1.
