I know this is uncomfortable to admit, but there is a small area in England's second city where people are just not integrated with the rest of society. Many of them hold views that arguably go against British values.

Yes, we need to talk about the Tory conference in Manchester.

The regulator Ofwat has ruled that 5 private water companies can raise bills by even more than previously agreed

A reminder that despite promising to nationalise the water industry Starmer dumped that pledge &decided to side with the private companies instead. This is the result

Going for like 10 hours probably today. I think I'm like 1/4 through the game now?

But you and I both know it's going to go by twice as fast next time.

A lot of talk about Arsenal stadium expansion - @aallensport.arseblog.com has a look at what we might do, how we might do it, and links to Benfica.

Really interesting stuff.

How Benfica’s stadium renovation could offer clues to Emirates upgrade

With talk of Emirates Stadium expansion making headlines again, courtesy of The Telegraph, it’s worth looking at what Benfica are doing to transform the Estadio da Luz – a ground designed by the same architects as the Emirates, Populous, with a near-identical bowl shape and capacity. The current Luz opened in 2003, built in time […] The post How Benfica’s stadium renovation could offer clues to Emirates upgrade appeared first on Arseblog News - the Arsenal news site.

I’ve had a break from the website over summer to work on another project, which I can hopefully talk about soon!

In the meantime, I thought I would repost some interviews from earlier this year, starting with the inimitable James Richardson. @acjimbo.bsky.social

I've been told in my WhatsApp chat that it was probably 2013 in the tolly and 2014 in the gunners pub

Met alot of people because of it. Organised with a few people to do an arsenal meet up in a pub near the ground. 300 people turned up, quite a few of them I'm still friends with. This was about 2012 ish.

Tips on making the point land:

• only respond about brands you like + Visit Rwanda
• Really love those brands, and hate VR

• On how did you hear about Visit Rwanda, click other. Use the free text box to voice opposition to the deal being renewed.

If you have opinions on this and are on the club's mailing list there was an e-mail sent out today surveying fans about attitudes towards their brand partners.

‘Industries’, which rely on theft, are better known as criminal concerns. Fortunately this form of lawlessness is illegal in the EU. Companies indulging in it should be putting many billions aside for the fines. Copyright theft is illegal & artists’ bodies are tracking it.

On the how did you hear about Visit Rwanda if you click other it asks what that other was with a free text box. I put I heard about them through news controversy about it, and added my opposition to the deal being renewed. In case helpful to hear one such way to crowbar in.

This is what happens when you let war criminals get away with their crimes. They will come back and do it again. I feel a lot of guilt about this. My generation was there, we watched it all happen and at some point we just gave up and forgot about him. Big mistake.
