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.

As a friend who was planning to go to the 2026 WC told me, "this settles it". He won't.

Comparison of prices between the prices of tickets at the 2022 and 2026 Fifa World Cup, showing prices increases of up to 1,000%.

I intend to watch Sleeper again because of Diane Keaton and today I listened to the whole of Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole (out on this day yonks ago).

Share any random favorites if you like. We have to go off topic to keep inspired in the international break ;)

Diane Keaton. Rest in beauty, quirky outfits and perfect self deprecating comedy. ❤️

Arsenal, Wembley, and the pursuit of more. A column looking at capacity, modernisation, and the challenges to make it happen.

Arsenal’s Emirates expansion plans and a sense of history repeating itself

In thinking that echoes the creation of the Emirates, Arsenal are analysing their capacity from a position of strength - but hurdles await

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.

Saturday's game against with West Ham will be Arteta's 300th as Arsenal manager. The club are unrecognisable from the day his journey began

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.)
