My collection favourite! I’ve posted this book before, but it is so worth a repost. Not a rare book, and this copy is a bit tatty. I have another copy in almost brand new condition. But, I have never come across another copy signed by ‘Boy Bastin’ himself. It is a treasure UTG!🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
Numbers 427 &. 428 of my collection, both books self published this year by Nick Brown. UTG!🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
Out for a lovely dog walk this morning, came across this Grey Heron waiting for it’s breakfast to swim by
Whittaker, Knighton, Chapman, Buchan, Wall, Jack,Hulme, Bastin & Hapgood. My older Arsenal biographies, now with very decent copies all first editions with good dust jackets. Hapgood excepted. Knighton could be better but would be incredibly hard to find. A labour of love.
The only upgrade I now need from the older stuff. This is a first edition Nov’44 of Eddie Hapgood’s Football Ambassador. Tatty to say the least. I’ll let you know when it is done
The problem with Arsenal book collecting is you are always looking for an upgrade. This new copy is in great nick with an excellent dust jacket. My old copy has foxing to the pages and the dj has a sun damaged spine. It’s a signed copy though so will be lovingly kept
Number 426 in my collection A fan’s account of their Arsenal story. I love these books
I’m doing my Friday morning chores. Dusting the bookcase, this little beauty slipped into my hand……a hour passed so quickly.
I’m a big fan of these compostable dog poo bags. Made from corn starch they fully decompose in 6 months. Potential to create a huge difference to landfill.

I’ve just been followed by SpermCanada! My trusted partner in Fertility Solutions. I’m a 62 year old Grandad ffs
Time flies, my beautiful wife and I some 40 years ago. Young lovers then, and she is still by my side. She deserves a bloody medal that girl!
England international David Jack’s book published in 1934 is called Soccer. Joe Hulme’s in 1952 is another
New home kit just arrived for my Grandson. He’s round mine after school tonight, he’ll be buzzing
Her Expensiveness was in the bath earlier. Denzil was checking that she washed behind her ears
My son, who is a born and bred Geordie and fan of Newcastle just sent me a photo of Newcastle’s home kit for next season. He said “I’m starting to think the Saudis are secret Mackems” 😂😂
Just saw this photo on a different post. But it fairly well sums up what happened in Islington on Sunday. May there be many more! UTG!🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
Rocky, 12 (black) and Denzel, 1 11 years difference but great mates, the young un idolises his mentor. I love them both dearly
This is what you call a relegation by fight! I had a season ticket with Levante in 2014/15. They won tonight.
Latest Gooner just dropped through the door. Couldn’t possibly be a more fitting cover! UTG!🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
Why do people cheat. Honestly, it achieves nothing. I played this morning against someone well below me in ranking. They played like a Grandmaster. I will probably get another one of these messages. I am seriously losing patience with these fuckers
Back from their walk in the woods, fed and tired. Denzel (choc) decided to bunk in with his old mentor Rocky. A bed made for 1 “I don’t think so” says Denzel
These floating dog toys cost £1.60 to make with the braided rope. 3 strand in yellow would cost £0.40 Researched that dogs see yellow and blue best. No brainer to switch when my remaining 100m of braided runs out. UTG!🟡🔵🟡🔵
Just played a bot. A game of 39 moves. 90% accuracy No mistakes, inaccuracies, blunders or misses. I wish I could do the more than once in a blue moon! UTG!🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
