A great evening at the London Football Awards- lots of Arsenal award winners in both the men’s and women’s game!

Get in! Keep going, Arsenal!

Decent entrance that! #Arsenal #ArsenalFoundation #Gala #Fundraising

Monday Morning feeling

Final whistle - it meant a lot! P

In the TalkSport studio this morning with Henry Winter talking all things Arsenal.

Bit of north London Derby preview & ticketing pricing after the CAT A+ was announced.

#Arsenal #AFC #UTA #Radio

Yeah fair. I think if the policy changes, you’ll have the same issue, as majority of golds will buy a ticket for every round so the number in the ballot remains similar.

Fair mate. Cup policy was announced in the summer but appreciate it’s a bit of a fantasy until we get to one.

Clubs responding was, golds may just buy and pass on but they wanted access for silvers and reds.

But I totally see your view. It’s hard when allocation is smaller then number of STs

Had a few emails to the @ast-arsenal.bsky.social email about ballots as well as messages to my phone.

A quick video explaining the ballot & what happens next.

Please note, it seems that Man City have sold their allocation according to their website.

The videographer from the Beckham’s wedding could make some serious cash!

Get in!

Win tomorrow please.

Granit Xhaka.

Take a bow. What a performance.

What a guy.

Elite.

Lots of good things in 2025 but no doubt the thing or person that stays with me and I’ll always remember 2025 for is..

Gary Read. ❤️🫶🏼

Chelsea will be paying £31.80 lower. Max of £42 upper.

Arsenal fans will be paying £55.

Arsenal also offer 50% concessions, as far as I can see it’s 25% at Chelsea.

After lobbying my own club for absolutely everything in terms of pricing, I hope the same is happening there.

Last chance for this today - thanks for everyone who has supported :)

Helping people like Simon below, is so important at this time of year, which is why I’ve arranged an online fundraiser.

Buy a raffle ticket, be in with a chance of prize & help others in the process.

I’ve called on friends and contacts to donate some prizes, for some influencers to promote the activity and I’m now calling on my friends, family & connections to support by purchasing a raffle ticket. Even one ticket at £5 can make a huge difference.

What is Crisis at Christmas? | Crisis UK YouTube video by Crisis_UK

Happy Monday! Last full week before Christmas begins!

While most of us will be looking forward to it, there’ll be many dreading it.

Crisis will have one of their most busiest weeks of the year supporting people through Christmas.

People who are not as fortunate and just want the period to end.

A reminder that you can support my Christmas fundraising for Crisis by buying a raffle ticket - your money can make such a huge difference.

6 years ago today, I had one of my one proudest nights.

Arranging a charity gala with 400 wonderful people, raising money for 5 fantastic charities.

Food, drink, entertainment, networking, photo booths, live auctions, graze tables, acts - it had it all.

Maybe time for a second one?

Seen a photo of Morgan sucking up to Mikel.

He said he couldn’t manage a paper bag a few years ago.

So cringe that man.

Pleasure mate.

Not sure mate, still would only be one seat for a cup final or big CL KO games.

Finance option if cost is the main reason would be the one I think.

A better finance option + then being able to exchange the games you can’t make / don’t want maybe a better option?

Guess how do you decide which games you are taking & giving away - i presume it would be a spilt between CATs (otherwise everyone’s price would be different).

I like the thinking and concept, perhaps hard logistically.

That’s where ticket exchange or transfer comes in really. With lose it or use it being for utilisation, you can officially transfer your ticket whenever you want.

9 I think have, the rest will follow I hope.

I’m really proud to see the launch of Arsenal’s new matchday suicide prevention service, opening Sun at The Arsenal Hub.

Thanks to a partnership between the Premier League and the North London NHS Foundation Trust, supporters will now have access to a specialised NHS mental health nurse on matchday

I had the pleasure of putting a Q to Mikel Arteta at a Leadership conference about how he deals with conflict / awkward conversations - we all have uncomfortable conversations that we ‘know’ we have to do, but equally know, they’ll be difficult.

Yeah there’s a podcast I’ll dig it out
