Bilbao Athletic Club 0 - 2 Arsenal…

Bilbao Athletic Club 0 - 2 Arsenal


🎶 His name is Gabi, he's from São Paulo, and he plays for Arsenal! 🎶


A huge start to the @ChampionsLeague campaign for @arsenal last night. 


Coming off the bench, @gabimartinelli scored just 36 seconds after being introduced, before linking up with @ltrossard to seal a 2-0 win over @athleticclub in Bilbao.


The home side, back in the competition for the first time since 2014/15, pushed hard in front of a loud San Mamés crowd and caused problems early on. But Mikel Arteta’s men held firm, with the quality of the squad depth proving decisive.


Martinelli, fighting to rediscover his best form after losing his starting spot to new signing @ebere_10, made the difference when it mattered, providing the first goal and assist to lift the Gunners to a winning start.


Three points. A clean sheet. The perfect opening night in Europe.


Onwards and upwards, my friends. 


@Arsenal

Trinity Reunion Sep 2025 - First Night…

So it’s been almost 40 years and I’m back at Trinity College.  The first reunion I went to was 10 years ago.  And it was nervy. 


Last night was the first night of this latest one and a few of us turned up early - wandered round the Fellows’ garden and went for drinks, food, and a catchup.  And it was lovely.  I needn’t have worried.
