Yesterday was probably the highlight of my entire trip so far.
Went to the Manchester United vs Arsenal match at Old Trafford and seen one of the best games of football for a very long time!. Manchester kicked their first after around about twenty minutes and after that the flood gates opened. I expected to see Manchester to win, but but one or two goal. I certainly was not expecting a blow out.
We arrived at the stadium to find out Manchester City, big rivals of United had won by 4 goals, which put them on top of the table, much to the delight of the Reds' fans, Manchester were able to put Arsenal away by 6 goals with an "Anything you can do, we can do better" kind of attitude.
Arsenal hasn't had 8 scored against them in the EPL since 1896, and i was there at Old Trafford to see it happen again. And to be honest, will probably be a long time til it happens again.
The atmosphere was absolutely incredible, the chanted and cheering carried on for an hour and a half. Every goal that United kicked the entire stadium erupted in elation, singing songs about the player which could be heard over the applause. Every goal the was kicked by Arsenal, the crowd falls to silence after a harmonious sigh.
If there is one thing you need to do when you go to the UK, it would certainly be to go and see a top-flight soccer match, tickets weren't horribly expensive. I was so lucky to have been able to see a match where there were 10 goals scored, that rarely happens, and even muckier that six of those goals were scored down the end in which Sam and I were sitting.
I hope that next time i go to a match, i will be so lucky as to see such a thrilling game.
