The beautiful game

 

Naples in London

twenty two battle it out;

new gladiators.

  • On my way to a football match between my beloved Arsenal and Napoli.

F.A. Cup jitters

time to silence babyface

come on you Gunners.

  • on anticipating a tense match tonight between my beloved Arsenal and Manchester United (boo). Always a juicy fixture.

Under new management

 

Unai Emery

and his red and white army

a new football chant.

Merci

 

Twenty two great years

a shared love of the Gunners;

go well Arsene (al).

  • on the not entirely unexpected news that Arsene Wenger will be leaving My beloved Arsenal Football Club at the end of the season. As one who remembers some dire football before he arrived, I cannot thank him enough. The pride of North London.

School footie

 

Break times spent contained

in ‘the pen’. You lot are Spurs

we’ll be The Arsenal.

Reward for housework

got to watch the football, wish

I hadn’t bothered.
