    Saturday 30th July - Boca vs Arsenal
    Sunday 31st July - Boca vs PSG

    Is anyone going? I for one am, i live an hour from london so ill be going to see my first Boca game. But will any of you guys be going too? Im sure there must be a few bosteros knocking about in london.

    I doubt there will be many boca fans there, but it would be good to get a few going, maybe even arrange a meeting place for boca fans or something?

    If anyone has any ideas, let us know.

    I think there might be a couple of Bosteros floating around London. You've got to promise to take and post photos from the game. You'll most likely see a lot of the younger players but you always see a gem in the making. Have fun!

    As EnglishBostero knows I plan going down to London, though it is about 4 hours for me. I'm hoping to go down for the two games on the Saturday. The ticket prices include both games each day.

    I phoned Arsenal up and they will not have a specific Boca section, which I suppose is a good thing but it would have been nice even if only a few were there to be together.

    Just plan a meet-up and see who shows. If the match was closer to October I could convince the wife that Scotland really isn't that far:D

    Sounds awesome. I hope they take all the starters. When they came to Los Angeles it was a fiasco, but I expect they'll take London more seriously.

    Hey people how's it going?Nice to see I am not the only Boca fan in the UK!! I have been following Boca,albeit from a distance lol,since Channel 5 began showing highlights in the middle of the night a good few years back.
    I am dearly hoping my girlfriend will be especially good to me on my birthday next month and hook me up with some tickets for Boca's visit to London!
    Anyway been reading this Boca forum for awhile so finally decided to join in!

    Used to be good when Five showed it, then had to rely solely on sites like Bet365, which I still use now. But with Premier Sports now taking live Primera Division games from this season it has been fantastic to see games live again on UK tv, especially as they have shown a fair few Boca games.

    Looks like there will hopefully be a few going to the Emirates then. Hopefully work out a way for people to meet up. We will be there on maybe the Saturday so can get the game against Arsenal.

    Hi moishe.

    I can say that i got out alive, just:) Its been a tiring 4 days watching boca. What a great day it was. In all honesty, i was expecting arsenal to give us a hammering yesterday, but instead I saw one of the most impressive performances yet from falcionis' team.

    Before arsenal scored we could easily have had a couple of goals viatri missed an absolute sitter. Then we went 2 down and it could have really turned into a disaster. But clemente came on and i think he made a big difference.

    Mouche, cvitanich, viatri looked sharp. I was impressed with them, but the most impressive thing was the way we passed the ball. We kept the ball really well and knocked it around well. Usually im ripping my hair out when we continually give the ball away, so yesterday was a nice change) Also, hats off to erviti who played well. He looks like hes settled in now and hopefully we can see the really erviti in the apertura.

    But you know the best thing ive seen this week? Its boca fans. Yesterday they were incredible, but they were spread out so couldnt have much impact. But at the espanyol game they were superb, i was in the upper tier behind the main group of boca fans. They really gave espanyol a lesson in how to support your team. 3-1 down, and our fans are bouncing all over the place, and the home lot are just sat in silence. (im a little envious that us europeans arent a little more passionate like s americans)

    The best memory of the week? Coming out of the espanyol stadium with all the boca fans singing 'Ole ole ole, ole ole ole ola, ole ole ole, cada dia te quiero mas, yoooo soy bostero, es un sentimiento, no puedo parar))))

    Now i cant wait to save up and get down to arg to see a home game, every week i get more and more addicted to Boca:)

    It's unfair really to compare arsenal fans to our own.

    The passion Boca fans have for the shirt is unrivaled around the world and arsenal fans are mostly plastics anyway:D

    Have to agree with you guys it was absolutely magical to see Boca live and the fans easily outsung the Gooners as I predicted lol. 2nd half when we got abit of the ball and Roman started to play was fantastic.Whole trip was bought for me as a birthday present by my girlfriend who never liked football but now she wants us to save and head to La Bombonera!!
    Was honestly one of the happiest days of my life to see my idol Riquelme play but also want to give a shout out to Schiavi,at 37 was nervous for him facing the speedy Arsenal side but he was quality.
    Think we have to keep Mouche I know he doesn't score many but we need a forward with pace who can dribble.
    Anyway can't wait for my next Boca match.What a day!!!!!
