WHAT a lovely stadium the  Library is, and although this was my first visit, I shall most definitely be going back.
It has nice squidgy seats for the Gooners’ die-hard audience to sink into as their team settle into another enthralling season of, will it be third or fourth place, nail-biting from October onwards.

Of course, the Blues supporters did not sit down for one instant of our victorious trip to Cash Burden Grave. For us, life is just too short and too exciting to be spent pampering our bottoms.

As a fan of the champions of  Europe, I must admit it has been rather difficult to not feel a bit guilty watching our team boss the tiny tots of Holloway all over the pitch during the past eight years.

It always felt like Didier Drogba had been allowed to run riot against an under-9s side, entertaining, but just a wee bit unfair. But this time was different. We are now without Drogba, and just to be sure the game felt equally matched we went to the same munchkin shop Arsene Wenger has been frequenting since Patrick Vieira left.

We replaced Drogba with three of the tiniest, little urchins we could find so that the Goons could finally stand tall against the Blues. It made no difference, for our little people are quicker, smarter and better than Arsenal’s.

Given results elsewhere at the weekend, the only uncertainty this season is: Who is the second best team in London?
