City, Spurs, Liverpool fans complaining we're lucky. Fine. But it comes down to luck. City? Winning 10 games in 23-4. Liverpool struggling at Leicester last year. Spurs again Ajax away in 2018. It's luck and we had it

#arsenal irony of Roy Keane on sky sports moralizing Martinelli actions over Bradley Connolly. The man who got a 10 match ban for busting Alfie Haaland kneecap and stood over him saying he deserved it.

Listening to @arseblog.com interview @jonspurling.bsky.social and his book Highbury and it's 20th anniversary. Made me think of the chapter on Willie Young. I hope we get the Arsenal podcasts discussing Willie. What a player. Very sad to hear this

Liquid 'Sweet Harmony' - a short thread I went to the wedding party of my friend Rehana this weekend. Rehana and my wife first met at university and they've been friends ever since, and I'm now lucky enough to call Rehana my friend too.

The delights of Premiership football. So Spurs have played just one English team in a European final? I'm not even a spurs fan. This is the Guardian, maybe get someone like @adampowley.bsky.social to tell you the error here ? Or a Wolves fan maybe? www.theguardian.com/football/liv...

Can't listen to podcasts on Arsenal or politics as depressing. So got into listening a podcast The Rewatchables with @seanfennessey.bsky.social . Listening to Sideways and lost in translation.

@arseblog.com #arsecastextra Question for pod. Does this feel like season 2007-8 all over again? A humiliating defeat in LC semi? Injuries to our attack? A loss in the FA cup? QF defeat in Europe? 4 points ahead in season at xmas, end up third? An unwillingness to buy a striker?

PhD proposal is now complete. It's not perfect, but it's been worth it just to research and read again. Still, a few bits to do. Then send it.....
