2-1 to the Arsenal!

Watch this short clip closely for video of my young nephew Tadgh Beirne and then later yours truly. This was filmed before our first visit (and not last, hopefully) to the Emirates to see Arsenal play Barcelona.



We were interviewed by an Arsenal crew before the game but the audio was not included. We did not expect the video to make it onto TV... but there is a 30 minute weekly show called Arsenal 360 shown here in the US on YES (the Yankee baseball channel) and no-one was more surprised than me when I spotted "Tiger".

More importantly, let's not forget that the Gunners won 2-1, with late goals from Van Persie and Arshavin. A very memorable evening in north London with 60,000 fans singing and chanting practically the entire game.

View from the North Bank during the second half. Bendtner and Arshavin had replaced Walcott and Song at this stage. All the goals were scored down our end.
