I was lucky enough to meet him on a few occasions. Arsenal to the core and an absolute gentleman. Arguably, the last remaining link within the club to the Highbury days. He was the epitomy of the sort of class you expect from Arsenal.

New Farage policy (in the voice of Blackadder 2's Wise Woman): "Deport EVERYONE in the whole WORLD!"

Easily a top ten all-time favourite film of mine. Simply love this film.

The pink bits scene suggests to me what education policy under a Reform government might look like.

My band is called Clujit. The event that you can't find a name that hasn't already been taken, make up your own word. In actual fact, Clujit was the name of an imaginary friend my daughter had when she was 4 or 5. So she gets the credit for inventing it.

The last real link back to the club as it once was back at Highbury. I was fortunate to meet him on a couple of occasions. Not only Arsenal to the core but an absolute gentleman too.

Farage is only a few more drops in poll points from promising to deport everyone in the whole country. Desperate, sad man with no real answers to people's real problems.

More Arteta chaos theory.

I think that's the fair and right approach. If he is abusing his season tickets then he will know it's been noticed.

BBLondon @courtyjnr.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Maybe they were friends/relatives of the season ticket holder & were being done a favour for that one game? Clearly, we don't want hundreds of away fans taking home tickets regularly but, for me, if people are quiet & respectful & not giving it the big 'un, it doesn't bother me on a one-off basis.

Starbucks' coffee may well be shit but they don't see a penny of my money because they don't pay tax in the UK and their abuse of local planning legislation when opening new stores is immoral.

There are many good, altruistic and public-spirited reasons for donating blood. But getting free Club biscuits at the end of the session is the best reason of all.

Not really perfection. The promoters will claim on the insurance and Sheeran, Kraft and everyone else will get paid out. Perfection would have been a half-empty arena and thousands lost on merch and bar takings, not to mention the embarrassment of the empty seats.

Slightly niche complaint: my daughter is coeliac so, if you do put your menu on your website but can't be arsed to include allergen information, we can't be arsed to come to your restaurant.

Don't let your hatred of Arsenal get in the way of praising a genuinely magnificent performance by Brighton. Oh, you all ready did...

BBLondon @courtyjnr.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Maybe. But I would be looking more at the lack of closing down by Arsenal defenders than Raya for those first two goals yesterday. In both cases, the scorers had way too much time and space to pick their spot.

Irrelevant when Arsenal can't string two passes together.

So Farage is going to outlaw the RNLI? In 2025, the RNLI launched 9,058 times, aided 8,290 people and saved 272 lives. Under Reform, let them all drown.

Meanwhile RNLI volunteers are being terrorised by thugs while the government remain silent. Cunts.

Deep Purple Mk2 was my entry point but as the years have gone by I've developed a real love for the Mk3 line up. Burn is probably now my favourite Purple album & the title track of that is definitely my favourite Purple song. Everyone in the band is absolutely playing their arses off on that.

I live in a village the same size as Piddington. On the face of it, everyone is very friendly and there is a good community spirit. But you don't have to scratch very deep below the surface to reveal some really unsavoury, little Englander, racist attitudes. It ruins your faith in human nature.

I thought the guy who stood up and clutched his head might have been a Gooner in the home end who caught himself just in time before getting thrown out. 😄

Just a contractor. Nothing to see here.

Agree entirely. Despite his claims, his position is not neutral. He has sided with money and Kraft rather than freedom of artistic expression.

Another of Reform's "I've done nothing wrong but am stepping down anyway" crew. Ooookaaay.

Strikes me that £72m will buy Farage more advertising funds, more helicopter rides, more oysters & fine wine at private members clubs. What it won't buy is a better quality of candidate. They'll still be fielding an incompetent rabble of racist thickos who couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

Agree. Where are the consequences? It's just "soz for the mistake" and they move on for more of the same the next weekend.

Not really sure what point he is trying to make. If it's that Arteta is fostering a siege mentality at the club, then cool. All the great managers did that and nothing brings fans and players closer together than the idea that everyone is out to get them.

Manowar at the Marquee Club in London in 1994. They had as much gear in there as most bands use at arenas. I have seen many notoriously loud bands - Motorhead etc - but this was next level. Almost pain threshold volume. Probably explains why I still have constant tinnitus 32 years later.

In a couple of weeks the decision review panel will say it wasn't a penalty and all we will be able to do is give them a slow handclap.

BBLondon @courtyjnr.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Disagree. Rather like Declan Rice getting sent off for nudging the ball away a couple of season's ago, you will not see another penalty awarded like that this season against any club but Arsenal. Arteta had to call it out in a strong way & he rightly did. He's also correct that it was a judo roll.
