The Gunners made hard work of it, but they got the three points due to a dominating second half and a sharp Petr Cech in the first half. The Saints have not been playing well, especially at home, and have little to play for, so few expected anything other than an Arsenal victory. We were good value for it, showing our class when it counted.
It seems too little too late, however. City is not going to drop points twice, so our hopes of Champions' League next season rest with Liverpool dropping points in one game while we win against the orcs in Mordor, relegated Sunderland, and Everton. Oh, and Stoke's in three days, and we host Sunderland three days after that. The Toffees come to the Emirates five days after that, and we go to Wembley to thrash the Chavs six days after that to hoist the FA Cup for a record 13th time. Let's hope AOC's hamstring heals quickly.

Juve finished the job against Monaco, whose defense was simply not up to the task of keeping Higuain, Alves, etc. from scoring. Gigi's streak of 690 scoreless minutes in ECL was ended late, but in truth, it took some good fortune (as well as excellent defense and goalkeeping) to keep Monaco out of the net until then. They created some very good chances. The Old Lady plays holders Real Madrid in the final in Cardiff. It should be a very good game. I give Juve a slight edge, because of Gigi and Allegri. Dybala is my pick to be man of the match, though Alves has been otherwordly.

The Wizards and the Capitals are in tight playoff series. Fingers crossed.
