A good day at the games
Amazingly the trip up to London wasn't too bad. The 12.30pm kick off means that the trains are often almost full with shoppers.
With both Stratford Westfield and Bluewater on the way in a seat is usually hard to find. Today, it was worse. The train was packed with protesters on the way to a rally in the centre of London.
I did get a seat in the end on the folding down seat in the disabled area. As there were no wheelchairs it was safe to sit there.
Once on the way to the ground we joined the Arsenal fans.
I met Helen, and we went in. A bit early and after coffee, my round, we took our seats. It was a strange day weather wise, heavy rain, then bright hot sunshine, and repeat.
The opponents this weekend were Nottingham Forest. They recently sacked their successful manager and recently took on a new one. The one that took Spurs to the Europa League title.
Luckily that golden ticket wasn't much help. A other good game and another goal-fest.
Two goals from Zubimendi and another from Gyokeres. Each one a peach.
The other game, Oldham and Bromley, I followed on X. The blow by blow account is almost as nerve wracking as being at the game.
Another win on the books.
