Had a great day Saturday
Took the boy and missus and actually went into the shop before a game for once as he wanted the new away kit.
We were sitting in club level next to the directors box, and as we walked out who was standing right at the barrier!! EDU!
So we managed to have a small chat and some photos with him. Great start to the game, which we absolutely bossed, looked very comfortable and always in control. Seville do not look ready at all.

Well we really couldn’t have asked for a better run of pre season form.

It was actually his second match, but this experience was much better. Took him to Norwich at home last season but it was just too loud for him and couldn’t get seats in the family section.
This time he really got into celebrating the goals! Also had club level seats so playing foosball at halftime was a hit. Being clockend way the first half was brilliant and he loved seeing the lads celebrate.
Not sure I’m taking him to a proper Arsenal match again just yet. He starts to get antsy in the second half. He always wants to go with me, but it’s a long day as it takes us an 1hr 45m to get there and then the same to get back home. He ate and then fell asleep on the train home.
I think we might head to an Oxford Utd match this season though. Much closer (and an easy enough drive) and supposed to the a really family friendly atmosphere. Not sure if they are still running kids activities, but we’ll see. Will be much cheaper too.
If you want to enjoy the match, then waiting until they are at least 5, although 6/7 is probably better, would be advised. Or bring headphones and an iPad loaded with games and videos to keep them busy in the second half. And I always aim for an aisle seat for loo runs. And don’t forget loads of snacks unless you want to spend a fortune and have them full up crisps and sweets.

Haven’t seen much talk around this but “pre-midseason” has already started and we’re playing on Thursday.We’re facing Laca’s Lyon.
Some good news is that Emile seems to be training with the team.
Have you missed the December friendlys thread?
