Been in the Philippines roughly 10 hours, awake for about 4 of those. First "All I want for Christmas" heard blasting from the street outside. It's still October.

Good to be back.

!!

Big Viktor now, what a fun second half

Oh my, what a goal. Unreal run by MLS, perfect finish from Gabi. Beautiful stuff.

Set piece again olé oléeeee

Ok I got to see Travis Hunters first NFL TD, happy with that at least!

What an underwhelming first live game. Almost like a different sport to the Bengals epic on Thursday.

This is not the same Jake Browning that nearly got into the playoffs a couple of years ago. Looks completely devoid of confidence, can't make a completion that's not a check down. Just painful to watch.

Fun to see the Ravens unexpectedly getting absolutely torn to shreds by a mediocre team. Less fun knowing the same will be happening to the Bengals soon at the hands of a much better team.

Haven't enjoyed a Chelsea goal that much since sp*rs completely lost the plot there in the game that won Leicester the league. Hope they can keep this up.

Oh that's a lovely equaliser. Perfect start to the second half!

Oh and I switched over the the sp*rs game for half time and saw them score within about 6 seconds. Not enjoying this at all 🙃

Arsenal continuing the disappointingly unthreatening form from last week, just not looking anywhere close to scoring, passing not sharp enough, bit slow and pensive on the ball at times. Need Renee to shake things up a bit for the second half.

Bloody hell that one felt good

How in the fuck can that not be a foul, jesus christ. Something new every time we play up there.

Eddie Nketiah doing his bit for the Arsenal 😍

Disappointing showing from the girls today, could've played a few more hours without scoring a second unless Villa gifted another one. Frustrating game!

Seems like every early game in the NFL today has been wild except for the Bengals game. So many blocked field goals!

What an incredibly frustrating 45 minutes. Very little creativity beyond one or two of Maduekes runs, Merino & Zubimendi not doing much at all in the middle.

Oh, and Bernado Silva is a dickhead and lucky to have only got a yellow for that challenge in my not at all biased view.

F1 followed by Arsenal women, followed by Arsenal men, followed by NFL today. I'll be living on the couch.

Haven't got a clue from the replay and can't hear commentary clearly in the pub, what is Inaki Williams so angry about in the build up to that goal?!

What a beautiful goal from little Gabi straight off the bench.

Glad I stopped in at the pub to watch the second half before the train home.

Legendary game winning drive from Jake Browning, my word. 2-0 with a pair of wins that 100% would have been losses last season. Who dey!!

Looked better on that td drive to start the half, hopefully the injury to Burrow has spooked them into action

Is the Bengals season over before we've even lost a game? Can't help but feel that way seeing Joe Burrow go off injured, leaky defence and o-line allowing endless pressure. Not enjoying this much.

This is the Bengams defence I remember. It's...not good.

1-0 to the Arsenal.

Noni Madueke absolutely tormenting them on the right so far.

Prime aerial view of that gorgeous volley from Zubimendi from up here.

Some way, some how, Bengals win in week 1. Whoooooo dey!

Hell of a first Arsenal goal for Olivia Smith, bloody hell 🚀
