Arsenal Win the Emirates Cup

After watching the Reading v Chelsea friendly yesterday which ended in a 2-2 draw, my attention turned the The Emirates Cup tournament being held at The Emirates Stadium.

I missed the first game between Rangers and PSG which Rangers won 1-0, but I saw the last hour or so of Arsenal v Atletico Madrid. Arsenal won 2-1 after a 'crazy' last five minutes when all the goals were scored.

Today, PSG and Atletico Madrid shared a 1-1 draw and finally Arsenal beat Rangers, 3-0.

Cups Here, There and Everywhere

Yesterday Celtic won the Wembley Cup, Chelsea won the World Football Challenge (they didn't get a cup it was a silver plate), the Peace Cup is underway and later on this week we have the Asia Cup starting, followed by the Emirates Cup.

Cups are running over!!!
