Barca’s Clasico win consolation for our Euro exit

FOLLOWING the massive anti-climax of last week’s Champions League exit, I was grateful that Spurs’ comical FA Cup curtain call presented us Gooners with arelaxing, stress free weekend.

Between the Grand National, the golf and wall to wall football, I was planted in front of the television not having to move a muscle from midday to midnight, other than some frantic thumb work with the remote control.

Watching the massed ranks of Madrid’s quarter of a billion quid’s worth of individual footballing talent, being made to look so mundane by Barca only served to confirm that there was no shame in our European exit.
