After the high of watching Arsenal beat Barcelona in the Champions League 1st leg earlier in the week, you can imagine how disappointed I was to see them fight out a 1-1 away to Leyton Orient in the FA Cup. To be fair Arsene Wenger did put out a fairly second string side and it did not surprise me that this match will now go to a replay. There is however a massive prize at stake to the winners of this match as they have a Quarter-Final away to Manchester United. Now that will be the tie of the round! No doubt, given the fact that Manchester United have had most, if not all of their FA Cup matches shown live on ITV this year it will be nice to see another Arsenal match live on TV again. Not that I am suggesting that the TV companies are biased in anyway towards Manchester United you understand!
For the majority of the afternoon and evening I have been fighting the dreaded woodchip paper that my parents have on their wall in the front room. Actually whoever decorated the house before they moved in put the blasted stuff everywhere, including the ceiling! I should be finished with the stripping of it in the next day or two and then ready to paint one wall and re-paper the others. After that I shall tackle the kitchen and then each of the other rooms until they are all brought up to date in colour etc and more importantly without woodchip!
