In Finland for the weekend and booked on a trip. Took us over 120 miles north of Rovaneimi and temperature of -21 degrees. Worth it though when we finally saw it!

Both Phil and Eze were superb when they came on second half. Nico had a good debut. Not sure why the away end was virtually empty - must have been no more than 35 in it.

Hope Nico gets to make his debut either tomorrow or against Albania. Was hoping he would have got on against Wales last month.

I’ve booked flights to see the opening two stages involving Barcelona.

The media make a play for Arsenals fantastic defence. Only 3 goals difference and we are the top scorers. Long way to go but signing Donnurumma seems to have instilled a level of confidence and playing a regular back line has paid dividends. Every chance of doing it based on last half a...

A fitting performance to mark the 1,000th managerial match for Pep. The last half dozen games have shown a level on quick passing and spacial awareness. Coincides with a few players really getting to grips with the team setup. Doku, Gonzales and Nunes are playing well. Liverpool struggled...

Got up a bit later than planned and therefore went local to Worsley Woods parkrun. Time was around 32 mins.

Stop start second half. Nothing has come from either sides challenge with the video support review.

The motd analysis by Carrick was very good and explained the movement to outwit the Bournemouth press. Very interesting when they highlighted the roles of Nunes and O'Reilly.

Both Taylor and Oliver appear to be above having a decision they have made overturned or considered by var. They both wave their arms on certain challenges in a game, as if to say to the var official, don’t question my call.

Entertaining match - the first half was as fast a tempo for a long time. Cherki being the creative player and others around benefiting. The most pleasing part was it was a team performance against decent opposition.
