Champions League Qualifier

I am slowly knocking off a lot of big sports "must sees"!  This past week, I got lucky enough to see the Arsenal qualifier game for the Champions League with tickets from work.  Even better when it's free!

The home team


Singing the Arsenal song

Caught the ball in that shot


A booking of some sort


 
Foul shot
 
And a video after the only goal:

Ignore my question - there is no special song.  Despite that, it was a great atmosphere - everyone really got into the match.  Lots of yelling and singing....I think one guy behind us thought he was coaching the game!  Great seats, great company, great night!
