ARSENAL”S progress to the European Cup Final in Paris on Wednesday 17
May (the same day that the A380 arrives at Heathrow ” see below) is
good news for Eurostar who say that train tickets are going like
hotcakes. One person already booked is Dennis Bergkamp, the
legendary Dutch striker (see http://www.abtn.co.uk). If Dennis, and
the rest of the fans, had been really optimistic they could have
booked weeks ago for just ”59 return and not left London until 1511.
A win will leave plenty of time for celebrations (or if defeat to
drown their sorrows), with the first train back at 0715 the next
morning. There are just a few seats left outbound on the Wednesday at
”298 return. A final minutes” penalty miss is a turn of fortune for
the north London club, who in the shape of Nigel Winterburn, missed a
similar goal opportunity against Luton in the 1988 League Cup Final,
Andy Dibble on that occasion the hero.
