Nervous / eager anticipation...

I will shortly be leaving for town; when I get home Arsenal will either be in the quarters of the Champions League or will have lost in Rome. The form all suggests that they should be ok. However, I was a little surprised to see that the price on Arsenal qualifying for the next round was as low as 1.5 on Betfair. I was close to putting in a pretty sizable lay A) because I thought that was a bit low and B) to slightly offset the agony of not qualifying if that should happen. However, I'm going to brass it out and trust in the team to do the job tonight without me betting.

At this same stage last year we had a great night watching Arsenal beat AC Milan 2-0 in the San Siro in Cheers near Piccadilly Circus, so we're heading back there tonight hopefully for a repeat. The night will be a huge anticlimax if Arsenal don't go through so please, PLEASE let them qualify! Myself, Daz, Gary, Loz and Bot are the heads and they're all heading down straight after work so we should get a good table.

What else. Oh yeah. I was bored earlier and needed a shave, and ended up sculpting a goatee which I will be sporting tonight. It definitely looks weird if not completely stupid. It took me ages trying to get it symmetrical and straight, and I think it is neither. It should be quite funny just for laughs though.

Ok, hopefully the next blog post will be a joyous one.
