FA Cup semi-finals Arsenal against Manchester City

Arsenal and Manchester City started the game knowing that a win would see them play Chelsea in the final. Overall Arsenal can count themselves lucky that they won this game with Manchester City creating the better chances and having some key decisions go against them. In a tight fought match Aguerro broke free for Manchester City and calm shot the ball around Cech, the Arsenal goalkeeper, in the…

It wasn’t without incident and the second goal ought to be have been ruled as void after the ball had clearly crossed the line before been crossed in to give City the lead on the night and to balance the tie on aggregate – but as galling as that will be for Everton fans – that is, as they say, football.

It’s hard to find too much sympathy for Everton, especially as their manager, who generally comes across quite well in his media interviews but who so often rails against judgements that have gone against his team is consistent in feeling hard done to and  fails to see/or comment on the wrong decisions that his team have profited by.

If anything there was sweet justice dished up last night given the near universal acceptance that a stone wall penalty had not been given in the first tie as well as just about the clearest cut penalty that you will ever see, and that wasn’t awarded in the league fixture that was played in between both legs of this cup semi final.

There was a fine turnout from the Everton fans who started in good voice – much better and much more vocal than the relatively flat atmosphere in the first leg of the semi final, but who understandably were silenced and glum as the game progressed.

So on a night when karma was delivered – we left the Etihad in a happy mood after watching a terrific game of football and already marking our diaries for another trip to Wembley – we’ve been every year since 2011 – and although I’m not sure how many times I think it will be the fourth cup final, a couple of FA Cup finals and a a couple of Charity Shield games in the last five or six years

Happy days and win or lose next month – our team are in the final again and we’re going to Wembley again.

Allunghiamo la Cabala. La paura fa 90, ma Duvan fa 91…

Per Duvan abbiamo scomodato la Cabala, non sono piu’ 90 i numeri ma 91, che appunto fa “zapata”

“Sono tante le squadre che hanno richiesto Zapata, ma ha caratteristiche uniche nell’intero campionato, ci crediamo tanto e dunque ce lo teniamo stretto” Bigon

“Se Duvan Zapata gioca più di dieci minuti segna”.

After watching Manchester City cruise to an easy 5-0 win at The Etihad yesterday against a very poor Newcastle team and hearing that Swansea had taken the three points against manchester united Saturday was looking to end as a good day, especially as Chelsea had surprisingly dropped point at home to Burnley – it actually ended even better than a good day when I got home to find some magnificent home made ginger nut creams.

All in all then another decent day.

The pictures in the following gallery show the ongoing work at The Etihad with the new roof now starting to take shape above the end of the ground that is being extended – clicking on the first picture will open the gallery and allow you to scroll through to see the days ginger biscuit finale!
