overyourhead - some irreverent musings by a gay London guy - crawling though technology, love and life... so you don't have to.
Pre-match optimism was fuelled by a pint, Paul, and chatting to @gaygooners
Sadly, although Arsenal started like a team with a plan, it fell at the feet of loose passes, defensive chaos, and all too few shots on target.
Dorgu thundered one in, Merino teased hope, and Cunha crushed it with a 25-yard reminder that joy is temporary.
First home loss. Title race tightened. Character building, apparently.
Onwards and upwards, my friends.

I’m not quite sure what my recently used emojis say about my current mental state! 😂

It’s that time of year again. Stuart and I have been cooking.
We washed, we squeezed, we chopped, we sliced, we boiled, we stirred, and we cooled 1 kilo of Seville oranges 🍊, a lemon 🍋, and 2 kilos of sugar making 16 jars of delicious Highbury marmalade. And blimey it tastes good.
Once again we’ve gone for a lighter, sweeter, more orangey flavour this year. Slightly firmed too. Tastes like super delicious sweet orange nectar. Perfect on hot buttered toast. Yum!

Nice walk to the Woodberry Wetlands reservoir and lunch with Graham today.

A match that promised tension just delivered paperwork.
Arsenal waved their arms and asked for a penalty. Michael Oliver waved back and carried on.
Forest defended like it was a local tradition. Martinelli missed a sitter. Saka arrived late and nearly nicked it.
A point banked. Title lead intact. Everyone slightly annoyed.
Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Last night went to see Kenrex at The Other Palace in London’s glitzy Victoria with Stuart and Darce.
A play that leans into bravado and bad behaviour. Jack Holden writing sharp as ever but with stand-in Fabian Bevan gamely filling his boots. The director pushes the humour hard and sometimes it bites back.
Seats so unforgiving someone next to me fled at interval and another followed simply because they hated it.
I laughed winced and stayed.

Arsenal & semi-finals have recently mixed like oil & water. This time we turned up, scored three, & only briefly remembered our trauma. Arteta’s lot were dominant, ambitious, & momentarily allergic to killing a tie stone dead. Still, a win at Chelsea, a lead to defend, & the scent of Wembley in air. Progress, not perfection, & we will take it every day.
Onwards & upwards, my friends
