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.

Here's today's Handbrake Off. Worth it to hear Adrian's story of how he plucked up the courage to knock on Arsene Wenger's door as a young player. Plus lots of Saka love and all the usual stuff.

Arteta at 300.

Still feels remarkable Arsenal appointed a rookie back then. Here's a look at what he found, what he's doing, and what he is driven for next.

Shane Lowry hopping and pogo-ing about the 18th is a delight of a sight. Well done that man.

Surely VAR must find something wrong with that…

So. Apart from double curse or VAR and me (sorry) Arsenal have done a lot right in that half. Combative, creative, much better midfield balance, and some good early shots. A lot to like. (Obvious a lot about this game to drive you insane as well.)

Hard to look beyond the curse of VAR but it must be said Arsenal have played with impressive conviction. In opening half hour best attitude they have had at this ground for ages.

Reading this it’s hard not to weep. Memories of Billy Vigar, a sweet soul in competitive football.

Imperative that football gets rid of brick walls at pitch perimeters in non-league. This shouldn’t happen.

Rest peacefully Billy.
