After several years on Twitter I’ve decided to calm it a day. Didn’t want to slip away without wishing everyone all the best for the future. I have met/chatted with many thoroughly pleasant and interesting people and been prompted to think about things. Cheerio and all the best.

I must say that heading is certainly one thing Martinez has added to his game since leaving Arsenal.

What a fantastic game of cricket. Much credit to Pakistan too for making a real fight of it. It’s been a great series played in a proper cricket spirit. Looking forward to the final test on Saturday.

Just watched this short play, a really clever interweaving of the dying embers of the 5 minute final with the violent death of an intense domestic world. Football imitating art imitating life. Well worth a viewing.
For all Liam Brady fans (and that's not just Arsenal fans), here's a "two-fer" about the great man: 1st, a discussion of his genius on @delboygunnertv; & 2nd, THE FINAL, a short film about the 1979 FA Cup Final, in which he starred. youtube.com/watch?v=_VCM92l6… youtube.com/watch?v=6cIXpRzf…

Very sad to hear of the death of the author, Hilary Mantel. The world has lost a truly magical imagination. A preeminent researcher and writer who gave readers the chance to almost be standing in the corner while history was being made.

The smallness of football and yet the monumental significance of football in Ukraine today as their domestic season starts again. I am in awe of their resolution and durability.

This is what having a strategy can do for a football club.
William Saliba vs. Bournemouth: 100% pass accuracy 100% shot accuracy 100% long ball accuracy 83 touches 75 passes completed 5x possession won 2 clearances 2 tackles 2 interceptions 2 duels won 1 shot 1 goal What a performance. 🇫🇷

Replying to @KevinWhitcher01
@KevinWhitcher01 I thought your book review column in @GoonerFanzine was a brilliant idea. Really enjoyed it. Hope all good with you? Best wishes.

And a great article it is too. Proud to be included alongside so many talented and committed Arsenal writers and creatives in this present edition. RIP Maria! Up the Gunners!
Delighted to be writing for @GoonerFanzine this season! Despite being a journalist for six years I’ve never had my name in print so this feels pretty exciting. My first column is out today 🔴⚪️

A lady who captured with grace and humour what it means to support our club. A community has lost one of it’s most exemplary leaders. Up the Gunners!

Sleep easy captain. It was a great adventure. We’ll always, always have Turin.

Saddened to hear of the death of Uwe Seeler. He was the epitome of German football : a great footballer and better man, and compelling opponent. My respects to his friends, family and German football.

Sorry to hear of the retirement from international cricket of Eoin Morgan. A spectacular white ball cricketer and hugely successful captain in shorter formats. An honourable decision made I suspect with the best interests of the team in mind. Respected to the very end.
