Friday Got Me Like – Picks From Across The Pond for April 6, 2018

4/5 Recap: It seems the Europa League has surpassed its big brother in terms of unpredictability.  Arsenal ran riot in the first half, scoring 4 in 35 minutes.  CSKA got an away goal, but that won’t matter heading back to Russia.  In my other pick, I thought I was golden when Salzburg netted an equalizer… Continue reading Friday Got Me Like – Picks From Across The Pond for April 6, 2018
