Football hurts you but also rejuvenates

This perhaps describes best how I feel about Arsenal, about football:

How can this be? How have I committed so much of my life to this thing I have zero control over that can do that to me? It’s because football is a really special thing. It can hurt you like few other things can, but when it gives you something like this, all those scars, those many, varied scars, just disappear for a while and are replaced by something almost indescribable.

Arsenal should be named Heart Attack

Unconvincing win.

Despite being 1 goal up and 1 man up for the last 20 mins or so, Arsenal gave away possession too easily and too naively!

Our defenders saved our asses 😰

29 played.

8 more to go.

Can they ...?

Arsenal 4-1 London derby

Sometimes, I wish I wasn't so invested in this son of a gun.

5 points lead over Man City isn't anything. 1 more game played. 12 games to go.

大扫除

We did some pre-CNY cleaning and hung up 春联 around the house this weekend and it was enough to inspire #wye6 to draw this. Cute!

YE's cute comments

YE complimented my pasta that "爸爸煮的pasta 是 好像 5-star hotel 的！"

After playing B Boat with the girls:

Ye in the lift, smiled and chirped: "Today feels like a very good day! Today's B Boat is the best b boat ever!"

And she created the most tiniest storybook ever it's hardly legible it's worse if you have 老花😃
