Or maybe #ARSWOL? Saturday's visitors are Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates. The game on November 2nd is the first 3pm kick-off of the season at home.
Saturday football was traditionally always a 3pm kick-off. And then once the Premier League was created to make football into a business rather than a sport for the working man, it all went to shit.
TV money may have given us the chance to see talents from across the globe, but it has corrupted the sport. The match going fan is the least regarded.
We still pay a high price for our tickets and yet at the whim of the TV companies, games are switched to extreme times and places. Often far away where public transport is not available. A trip to Liverpool with an 8pm kick off. The return to London when the match finishes nigh on impossible. TV and it seems the Premier League doesn't give a shit.
So let's make the most of the 3pm kick off. We don't know when the next one will happen!
