Watching Arsenal in the Far East

It was certainly different watching the game on a big screen (or any number of screens, in fact) outside in the heat & humidity of Singapore on a Saturday evening. With Premier League games kicking off at 7.45pm, 10.00pm and 12.30am on Saturday night there was no shortage of football to watch. For various reasons I didn't get to see the Singapore experience of Liverpool vs Man Utd but got to Robertson's Quay to see the Arsenal game. Liverpool shirts were (obviously) still in abundance but the local Manc supporters had slithered away into the night.
No sign of other gooners when I jumped up for Robin's opening goal and it seemed that most watching were clearly hoping Blackburn could do them a favour. However, thankfully we got a great (if flattering) result whilst I drank Tiger beer served by rather nice Tiger Girls and their jugs (of beer that is).
Now planning th etrip home so I'll be watching the Kiev game in the comfort of a CET time zone rather than the far east where Champions League games often kick off at 2.45am!!!
