Think I might post a song that appears in my head each day on here.

I used to love getting mixed tapes as gifts (or giving them). So it's in that spirit.

Here, for no reason whatsoever other than it just came to me, is Fruit Bats and Lazy Eye.

Hello friends. Dropping this here to support my son, who has been through some stuff I wouldn't wish on anyone and is channelling his experience into a near marathon in laps around the Emirates for mens mental health charities. Any pennies, or goodwill messages, appreciated! ❤️

Been out tonight remembering a dear friend from Scotland (fittingly) so only now catching up on the action.

My God Scotland did an absolute madness. I love football.

My son just asked if I remembered last time Arsenal went 8 games without conceding… in 1903.

It is way past time for the UK government & the BBC to get off X & for Musk to be treated as a threat to national security.

The world's richest man is using his site to promote civil war, ethnic violence & the overthrow of an elected government.

You won't win him over with another conference on AI

I was always certain taking Arseblog off Twitter was the right thing to do, but stuff like this makes me very happy I did.

This is a deranged billionaire unaccountable to anyone using his platform to incite violence. Grim.

New pod. I have decided for my brain to henceforth mute the words 'It's Arsenal's to lose' - I mean, come on. Lots of Arsenal conversation here if that's your thing. With @adrianjclarke.bsky.social and @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social and some listener input (thanks folks).

Very encouraging that Max Dowman's scholarship, leading to a first pro contract, is agreed. With the best youth there is always a risk they will be lured away. Arsenal have been smart in handling his elevation by mixing a special amount of opportunity and care.

Thank you Dave Ball for one of the great songs of my youth. We used to sing this with heart and soul in break time at school and I love it still.
