IT HAS NOT been a great day for Irish boxing.
Earlier, Katie Taylor was stunned by Yana Alekseevna of Azerbaijan. The Bray boxer must now compete at the World Championships in Astana to qualify for this summer’s Olympic Games.
Two of Taylor’s teammates have also been beaten at the semi-final stage this afternoon.
Brendan Irvine could not get past Narek Abgaryan of Armenia and now faces a box-off at the European Olympics Qualifiers if he’s to stamp his ticket to Rio.
The 19-year-old will take on Bulgarian Daniel Asenov in tomorrow’s box-off.
David Oliver Joyce will have to navigate a similar route to Olympic qualification.
Joyce lost on unanimous decision to Welsh fighter Joseph Cordina in the 60kg semi-final.
The St Michael’s Athy man will face Volkan Gockek tomorrow for a spot in Brazil.
Going for a Chelsea win here.
Good god I should bet on these 5/7 right so far this season.
And now for the main event
Actually this is the warm up for the real main event… West Ham vs QPR.
The incident is flares being set off by arsenal fans, stewards now checking fans coming in to the ground.
Must have taken a leaf out of Galatasaray’s book, I’d say. Not a smart thing to do.
Terrible performance by arsenal , no shot on target, ridiculous playing Ozil out wide, too easy for Chelsea
All the idiots in the photo taking selfies…
Great to see Costa end his recent goal drought.
Horrible tackle by Cahill. He is lucky he didn’t do some serious damage to Sanchez.
COYG
Do it for Piers Morgan
Full kit w*nker.
Arsenal were rubbish and Chelsea were fab…
Great analyst Jack.
Arsenal were let down by their final ball and by Ozil in particular. Was a real derby game. Both sides were were lucky to finish with 11 men. The goals came from two moments of magic, only one of which Chelsea were capable of producing last year.
Can’t fault Jack for accuracy there…
Let’s green thumb it to comment of the week…
Arsenal will definitely do better than last year,
need to draw at least as 9 points behind will
be too much to chase.Arsenal need ideally to
win.
Arsenal > Chelsea > Liverpool > United
There’s 16 other teams between Liverpool and United
Jose record against Utd, arsenal, city and Liverpool: played 32, lost 3. You should probably have another go at that.
I think that should go;
Chelsea> Man City> Southampton> Man Utd……..and if you could be arsed typing it all out you’ll eventually get to Asenal> Liverpool.
Not sure how to feel about Fabregas.
I love and hate him all at once
Suppose its not his fault that Wenger didn’t sign him, apparently cesc wanted it to happen
Why do you hate Fabregas?
Because he left Barcelona
Diego de man.
Why do you hate him???
