Arsenal 2 - 2 PSG

Fair result, I thought.  The teams were well-matched, and threw themselves into the game in an attempt to win the group.  In the end, the away goals rule gives the head-to-head tiebreaker to the Parisians if we and they both win the sixth group game, so it was mission accomplished for PSG.  Their first goal was pretty, but the rest of the goals came from mistakes.  A classic this was not.  But it was a very entertaining match and there was a lot to admire in Arsenal's play.  Coquelin-Ramsey had a serious test and I thought they did OK.  Gibbs and Jenko once more showed that they are very decent options.  Alexis and Ozil are not playing at the peak levels they're capable of, but I have faith that will return.  I like Giroud up front.

Spurs exited Champions' League and will be in Europa League hell for the rest of the season, which is fine with me.

Bournemouth tomorrow, with Jack watching his teams play each other.
