8 years ago today, @IanWright0 said that he wanted Mikel Arteta as The Arsenal's next manager.

on the 5v5 goalmouths and the goalmouth on main pitch and even the little goalmouth on the 7v7 near the clubhouse has been re seeded and top dressed again....u can tell the pigeons have been about 😆. Also done some rolling on the 2s wicket for Saturday.

9 til 4.30 straight through, some cricket and football stuff today. The Ends have been repaired on no4 with a tray of pre germ seed, the squares been watered, had the sprinkler going all around the field today where i wanted re overseed. Aload of pre germ seed has been put down

When Arsenal smashed Spurs 4-1 in February Peter Schmeichel was sat just at the front of the press box. When Gyokeres scored the fourth goal Schmeichel stormed out of his seat to head down to get ready for his post match interview with steam coming out of his ears. He was fuming and clearly so, so gutted at seeing Arsenal win so well. Any other team today, he 100% says that's clear foul and backs the keeper. Seeing him like this just makes that win feel even sweeter.

Ready for the 2s

Apart from the last 5 foot at the tennis end thats it, Simon has kindly been in today and used his chainsaw to neatly level off along the top, the chain came off simons chainsaw so we might have to buy him a new chain for it,
