Diet Coke was impossible to find in the three countries I visited in Europe. Sounds like I should have just come to London. 😆

Night 2/3:
Ham, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy and homemade buns. And before @waynesworld20.bsky.social accuses me of not having enough stuffing, I went back for seconds! 😆

Gunnersaurus can take him!

Is that Roman? 😆

It’s been a year and I haven’t mounted the ball yet, even though I bought the stand. There’s so much to do!

Last year I got a signed Purdy print that I framed in a gold frame with a red mat. And a Ted Lasso Funko Pop. And I got myself the blue Arsenal ball. Creating a nice little sports cave around our treadmill.

Glad you still support! 😁

He also got a Germany national shirt, which he put on and said “Havertz!” 😆

And, not Arsenal related, but these made my morning:

The boy and I got a couple tree ornaments, and he got a really nice Arsenal scarf.

Frankie Simek? Damn. Thought that was Ø! (In my defense, I’ve never seen Frankie Simek, and I didn’t enlarge… 😆)

Merry Christmas, Andrew & co.! May 2026 be Arsenal’s year!

And I’ll admit two things,

1: It doesn’t look incredibly appetizing!

2: I’m not a food photographer, so it tastes better than it looks!

Oh crap, forgot about the mushroom and sauerkraut perogies!

Also, pickled herring, of which I do not partake. 🤫

Merry Christmas, gents! (Still two hours left of Christmas Eve for us.)

Night 1/3:
Mashed potatoes, mushroom & dumpling soup (doubles as gravy for the potatoes), carrots, steelhead trout, and rum & Diet Coke (which was not at all a thing in Europe this summer! Do you only have Coke or Coke Zero?)

I think it’s just the colour. It changes from a dull gold(?) to a 💩 brown. 😆

Palace deserve to lose every game they play in those kits. When they get wet/sweaty it looks like they have huge ugly stains all over them! 🤢

Did no one tell Lacroix that Kepa only dives to his right??

Merry Christmas, boys! Have a tremendous holiday break with friends and family and hopefully 2026 is Arsenal’s year! ❤️🤍

Was a bit worried in the first half when Hincapie and Calafiori tried to injure each other in our own final third, but otherwise happy with both. 😆

We always knew Everton would come out of the gates strong for the first 20-ish minutes at home, and yet the commentators always act like Arsenal are shocked and stunned by Everton’s attacking prowess. Comms do this every single away game. Drives me crazy.
