A trip to the Emirates Stadium

7 April 2011

For my ninth birthday I  went to the Emirates Stadium to see Arsenal vs Sunderland. I don't support Arsenal but I was excited. Although it was not as exciting as watching Manchester United we went into the dreaded Arsenal shop where I bought an Arsenal jacket. Colm, my brother used up all his money on a scarf, gloves, hat and jacket. It was a disappointing match for Arsenal and they were even booed off by their own fans. The end result was nil all. My Dad was hoping that Arsenal would win so he kept hoeing that Kenwyn Jones would get the ball because he says he's useless but I think he is better than my dad... just about. The next time I go to England I want to see United.    

My trip to London.'

Hello fellow bloggers. For my ninth birthday I got to go to the Emirates stadium home of " The Gunners" the greatest football team in England. We flew from Shannon to London and stayed in a hotel. The hotel was not to far from the stadium. While we were there we saw Tower Bridge. The next day we went to the stadium where Arsenal were playing Sunderland. Arsenal got a lot of chances but failed to score. Sunderland also continued  to get chances but were not able to take them. I was very disappointed that not only did we not win but we didn't get to see any goals at all, even though we are a classy side. After the match we went to Chinatown where I ordered my favourite food, deep fried sea weed with loads of sugar.

My first Galway United match

My first Galway United match was in the summer of 2010, against Liverpool XI. Liverpool didn't have the well known players like Gerrard and Torres, but had a good reserve team. In the 45th second Galway got an injury and were down to ten men for a while. Four minutes later Sean Kelly from Galway Utd blasted a free kick towards the goal, but it hit the crossbar. Liverpool stormed up the field and Galway were struggling to defend. Liverpool shot towards the goal and missed. In the second half Galway came back strongly and following a brilliant corner they scored, causing the Galway players to celebrate. The match finished at 1-0. The players shook hands and went into the tunnel.
