Today has been a stressful one for me. Mainly because of the football, but Arsenal did not lose in the end. Obviously, it would have been nicer if we had won, but one point is better than none. It was interesting to see the change in the way we played as midweek we did not defend as a team across the whole pitch. This match was more even, but involved more defending across the pitch by the entire team, but this was an issue for both teams. The difference however is not league placement, but rather injuries. Arsenal are now second in the league, missing out on the chance to go top due to the draw, but stay within touching distance due to the number of points, being only in second place due to the number of goals scored/difference.
On the bright side, after a busy few days, today was more relaxed. After watching the Remembrance Day ceremony (which the kids were able to appreciate more this year), we went to Freeport to do a little bit of shopping as I needed a new pair of shoes. However we ended up with two, and really, the question on this is why? The kids were glad as not only did they get nice clothes (which were a bargain), they also got to have a drink at Thorntons.
Getting back it was time for football, and at half time, it was fireworks. We did not get to set them off on Thursday due to having to attend school and yesterday we were all too tired to do them justice. But the kids loved them today. Anyway, here is a selection of videos for the song Firework.
