It was Che's 1st visit to the Emirates this weekend...Arsenal - Aston Villa...

& let me just say that it was a tough game...& with all my football jinxes, it was almost the 1st & last time I went with Che...I was sad to think that Che had truned into a Bad Luck Charm, when everytime I went to Highbury with him we won !!!

I was so secretly distraught I got up to leave before the final whistle...but I do not know what it was that made me turn round & say...'Che hang on for just one second...' Che had already walked into the exit tunnel...

But then in the last 10 seconds of Extra Time, Bendtner gets it in the Net...the crwod goes wild...I go fucking Wild...I turn to the right to see a wave of people swarm in...in the middle is Che, being moved by the motion of  the crowd...I panic...but then see his hand aloft, smile as wide as the sky & the screams of Joy !!!

The Boys is a True Gooner after all & I am a proud Father !!!

We left the Game full of elation that soon turned into relief...Me & the Boy are back for the Middlesborough game...can we just have a little less stress & beat the shit out of them !!!

If not for me...but for Che.

Still top of the League...just.
