Brighton 3 - 0 Arsenal…

Well, that escalated quickly. Brighton celebrated 125 years by handing Arsenal their first defeat of the season, with Gross, Kostoulas and Andrés doing the damage. Arsenal had 60% possession and apparently decided to admire Brighton’s pressing from a safe distance. A thoroughly miserable afternoon on the south coast.


Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Golden Boy @almeida_theatre…

Last night with Stuart, Darce and Wayne went to see Golden Boy at Almeida Theatre in London’s glitzy Islington.

A punchy boxing melodrama with a live string quartet, outstanding Josh O’Connor and superb Daniel Mays. Excellent play, though some characters bordered on caricature.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Heathrow Pods…

I love monorails. I love funiculars. I love elevated railways. And now, apparently, I love Heathrow Pods. These futuristic driverless electric vehicles whisk you between Terminal 5 and the car park in minutes. Four seats, luggage space and absolutely no driver to judge two excitable big kids enjoying themselves far too much.

Ipswich 2 - 4 Arsenal…

Seven wins from seven, and Max Dowman is apparently determined to make being 16 look embarrassingly productive. A brace, plus goals from Madueke and Merino, had Arsenal 4 up before Ipswich remembered they were playing too. A few late nerves, but comfortably through.


Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Frida: The Making of an Icon @Tate Modern…

Last Friday afternoon with Stuart went to see Frida: The Making of an Icon at Tate Modern in London’s glitzy Bankside. Frida Kahlo gets the star treatment. Brilliant art, fascinating mythmaking and enough Fridamania to stock a very stylish gift shop. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
