I *really* wanted to get to an away match while I've been living in the UK, but, alas.

And as far as I noticed, the match in Bilbao (match day 1 in the Champions League, I think) was the only one to go to red members. The first one I've noticed in my four seasons of living here.

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

This was my first Arsenal game.

They’re singing “Nil-Nil to The Arsenal” in the streets on Holloway Road.

Bravo to you for your amazing work. Been amazing to learn from you over so many years.

Just back from Susie McCabe’s Bad Behaviour show in Aberdeen. Still early in her UK tour. That was a great show. Absolutely recommend making it if you have the chance.

I’m in there often to check the exchange and it’s been like that pretty regularly for a while. Takes a while to go down, too. Haven’t seen a whiff of a ticket for any of the remaining matches.

Finally won an Arsenal ticket ballot. First time since they switched to that system a couple of years ago.

Smilla Holmberg is astonishingly good at getting the cross in, and with quality.

This referee has wanted to give a yellow card for time wasting since kickoff.

Where it all began.

AMAZING. Bravo.

Hell yeah. (Also, for the record, every time one of these has old Dr. J clips, I watch it in hopes of again seeing those two sideline dudes grinning it up and shaking hands in the throes of late 70s/early 80s good times.)

Poliça at the Cooperage Friday night, Milwaukee. Their 2011 debut at Cactus Club is one of those shows that really sticks in my memory. Go if you can!

Folks. Alessia Russo.

Aha! Thank you. I'll have to dig into it.

Mid-year, too, so one may have already paid for a full year's subscription.

One of the best “Shoot!” guys we’ve had. Saw hit the back of the net before I realised it was on the way there.

Pure as it gets.

In.

So long as it’s not another bloody version of “he’s one of our own.”

French teacher wheeled in a TV on a cart at UWM and showed it to us. Bought it shortly thereafter. Unreal closing shot, too.

Wages of Fear is an all-timer favourite! Spectacular picture.

The commentary is a treat here. Tom Pippins?

I can imagine! It is awfully windy here so it both helps and hinders because things can blow off the line easily.

Ever here in northeast Scotland, where it is DAMP, people air dry outside quite often.

Next time I see you, I’ll have to tell you the story about Modelo Man in London.
