To be fair I should have mentioned Arsenal actually won 3-0โฆ
Good morning from Bruges. Always enjoyable to start the day with a newspaper and, er chocolate waffle. I asked a local here in the Christmas market what the local paperโs headline is. He told me it says: โBrugge vs Arsenal had a lot. Atmosphere & protest [re Hayenโs sacking].โ

Alcoves, yes. It's kind of like nooks and crannies.
Nooks and crannies, yes! Perhaps this would be more accurate. Nooks and crannies rather than alcoves
A quick coffee in a shop selling all manner of chocolate before heading over to meet my old Arsenal pals for a quick mulled wine in one of Bruges many Christmas markets before I start work. What could possibly go wrongโฆ?
