Inter Milan 1 - 0 Arsenal…

It was very exciting to get the chance to go the concrete behemoth that is the San Siro stadium in Milan last night to watch Arsenal take on Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Equally exciting was the full compliment of 27 @gaygooners who got to go.   

The away fans sit way up in the Gods so we had first a strange climb up a seemingly never-ending spiralling column of corkscrew concrete. Eventually we were not far below the roof - which is 60m up.   

Less exciting was the result however. 

Our boys tried hard but just couldn’t make any headway against Inter’s defence.   

Some unlucky refereeing decisions and an unfortunate handball gave away a penalty and our Italian goose was well and truly cooked. 

We were held back in the stadium for almost an hour after the game to let the local fans disperse and then sent on a detour back to the Metro back into the town centre and away from any potential trouble.   
Hey ho. 

Onwards and upwards my friends.
