Terrace Talk (Arsenal): Euro return, but I miss sweet FA Cup
Fortunately normal service will be resumed this week and we Gooners can rely on Eastenders updates from the Lilywhite tom-toms, as the Champions League gravy train is boarded again tonight in Oporto.
Nevertheless, in spite of what seems like a concerted effort to reduce the oldest knockout tournament on the planet to a tawdry sideshow and the prioritisation that is Arsène Wenger’s vindication of our own premature FA Cup exit, I couldn’t watch last weekend’s live selection of beguiling battles for a quarter-final berth, without feeling more than a little gutted about our lack of involvement.
