Oh no… I thought I’d managed to beat my Football Manager addiction. #FM23 is now available as part of Apple Arcade with cloud sync across Mac and iOS devices 🫣 apps.apple.com…
I’m one of the lucky few to be going to #ENG v #CRO today at #EURO2020. First train, first tube, first crowd and first football match since COVID began! Excited but a bit nervous about it all.
I finished the Fantasy Premier League @OfficialFPL season in 2,644th place (out of 5.9M). Not too shabby. More importantly, I topped our little work mini league.
Arsène Wenger became Arsenal’s manager when I was 17. Throughout my adult life - university, jobs, relationships, marriage and two kids - he’s been a constant. It’s a strange, sad feeling that he’s going. #MerciArsène for the beautiful football, the trophies and so many highs.

Love this evocative recount of the greatest league finish there will ever be: Arsenal in 1989 http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/best-ever-title-finish-arsenals-1989-triumph-over-liverpool-told-players
BT spends £900m on Champions’ League rights. As a customer who still rarely gets more than 2Mbit/s from their broadband I’m not best pleased. And I doubt participating football clubs’ ticket prices will come down either.
Can UK economy stay top of the league?
Robert Peston with an entertaining comparison of the recent upturn in the UK economy with Arsenal’s ascent to the top of the league. Arsenal answered fan discontent by signing Özil while the government boosted confidence through the Help to Buy scheme.
We just need to buy a striker/get a new PM…
