Fair reception...very noise and fades.  Gunners v Citizens at halftime break.

1500z YL "This is BBC Worldservice" into Sportsworld Intro
1501z OM with News
1505z Match joined in progress in second half - OM "Here it's Arsenal nil, Manchester City nil"
1520z OM "Yaya's on the ball" (Reception getting better, not crazy about BBC's A17 frequencies for Sportsworld)
1121z OM "Manchester City take the lead on a break by Aguero. Arsenal 0, Manchester City 1"  :) (Let's save the season, boys!)
1528z OM "What about the substitutes for Arsenal?"  Other OM "Wellback could be an option."   OM "Arsenal get the equalizer. A wonderful finish into the lower corner It's 1-1."  Ugh!  >:(
1535z OM "In the Premier League, Manchester United was 2-nil winners at Burley."
1537z "Yaya Toure hit the post.  We are less than 15 minutes from extra time.  A fourth substitute can be then used.  Both teams have used just one so far."
1540z "Fernandinho hit the post with a header, that was hit with fierce pace".
1550z "We are going to extra time. One-one"
1557z By my clock, they must not be covering extra time
1600z Off
