アストン・ヴィラvsアーセナル
アウェイゲームに弱いアーセナル，アストン・ヴィラに負けてしまい，
ヨーロッパリーグ参戦はFA杯優勝しか，その可能性がなくなりました。
リーグ最終戦はアストン・ヴィラと同様に降格争いをしているワトフォード戦，
降格争いのキーになるだけの存在になってしまったのが悲しい。
本日の将棋棋戦
朝日杯，佐藤紳哉七段が，佐藤和俊七段とのW佐藤七段戦，
斎藤明日斗四段との対局を連勝して，勝ち上がりました。
高見泰地七段は斎藤四段との対局，有利に進めていたはずなのに，
負けてしまいましたね。
森内俊之九段は鈴木大介九段との対局，逆転勝ち，
谷川浩司九段は船江恒平六段に負けてしまいました。
竜王戦，木村一基王位vs梶浦宏孝六段の対局，
梶浦六段がすこし有利なようです。
