Sunderland 0 - 2 Arsenal…

Six wins from six. Sunderland made us work for it, but Arsenal clearly enjoy a scrap almost as much as a passing exhibition. 

Raya saved a penalty, Bruno curled in a beauty off the bar, and Saka added the late insurance. 


Mind you, VAR remains football’s unpaid comedy department.


Onwards and upwards, my friends.

The Story @ Olivier Theatre…

Last night with Stuart went to see The Story at Olivier Theatre in London’s glitzy South Bank. Based on a true story of an ambitious African American journalist digs into race, ambition and journalistic responsibility. Letitia Wright, Ashley Thomas, Lorraine Toussaint and Wilf Scolding are terrific, though it loses its way a bit in Act Two.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bayeux Tapestry @britishmuseum…

Earlier today, Stuart and I went to marvel at the fabulous Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum in London’s glitzy Bloomsbury. 

70m of embroidery, 10 colours, and 50kg of wool. Taking 3 years to make by Kentish nuns sewing Aesop in the margins for fun, the panels show 623 men, just 3 women, 190 horses, 37 ships, 35 dogs and 93 penises all waging a war of succession for the English throne. 

Harold’s arrow? Probably added in the 19th century. 

History has never looked this good.

Napoli 0 - 1 Arsenal…

A trip to Naples; lots of pizza, beach, dodgy walks home, Champions Club, a late goal, and three points. Nice. 

On the pitch Ødegaard unlocked Napoli’s defensive bunker with a superb 75th minute strike. Calm, patient and very grown up.

Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Arsenal 2 - 1 Chelsea..

It might still be early doors, but that felt like a very important win. Chelsea scored early, but the Gunners equalised, and our second goal was glorious.

Havertz and Odegaard were excellent, and Raya’s late save came with the sort of calm assurance that makes everyone breathe easy again.

Arsenal have always made grinding out one goal wins into an art form. Not pretty. Very effective.


Onwards and upwards, my friends.
