Football. Music. Words. Labradors. Hopeless optimism.

A treat to interview Mikel Arteta and try to get a grasp of what goes on inside his world.
On olive trees, ideas, curiosity, club culture and healing the poison in his veins.

@amylawrence.bsky.socialThank you 🙏
@amylawrence.bsky.socialFour more years. Mikel Arteta gives his everything to Arsenal. In this sweet announcement video from fans, friends and players, he gets something back.
@amylawrence.bsky.socialAnd the boss is manager. Nostalgia much?
@amylawrence.bsky.socialLook at that team repping Arsenal at Robert Pires’s Jubilee match at Metz tonight. First two goal scorers? Henry and Vieira Come on Lord Bendtner

@amylawrence.bsky.socialIt was petrifying. The time signatures comprised triangles and lines to denote triplets or two beats within a changing 3/8, 5/8 mixture in each bar. I’d not seen the music before. That’s why it was easily the hardest I have ever concentrated in my life! Scary and exhilarating
@amylawrence.bsky.socialIf you would like to know more about Steve Reich and can take a moment to appreciate a musical genius of our times then Electric Counterpoint with Pat Matheny is a good place to start.
@amylawrence.bsky.socialHappy 90th Birthday to the legendary composer Steve Reich. In another life I once stepped in as an emergency page turner for the viola player at his concert at the Festival Hall. It was the most intense concentration of my life. Football and music - emotionally takes you to crazy places! ⚽️🎶
@amylawrence.bsky.social👏
@amylawrence.bsky.socialWhy do we love football? Sham-gate tosses all of that into a spiritual incinerator.
On Paul Dickov, selling souls to the wealthy who make their own rules, and the need for regulation capable of protecting clubs as assets with special value.
Free to read.
@amylawrence.bsky.social“Sham”. In inverted commas, for emphasis. Premier League come out swinging.
@amylawrence.bsky.social114 reasons - if you need them - to check out the new Handbrake Off pod. There is a lot to think about and feel about. With birthday boy @adrianjclarke.bsky.social and @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social. On Youtube or wherever you get your podcasts in your ears.
@amylawrence.bsky.socialKind of mad that Arsenal have had three managers who were very dominant personalities in creating a club culture in their image for the best part of 37 of the past 40 years. George Graham (1986-1995), Arsene Wenger (1996-2018), Mikel Arteta (2019 - )
@amylawrence.bsky.socialReflection on Mikel Arteta's long term relationship with Arsenal. He envisioned reinventing the entire club's culture when he started in 2019, and that's what he has done and wants to carry on with.
@amylawrence.bsky.socialHandbrake Off. Debriefing the weekend with @adrianjclarke.bsky.social and @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social, who clearly had the best Saturday afternoon being incommunicado in the woods somewhere with no connection to the outside world. x
@amylawrence.bsky.socialTalking points galore in the new Handbrake Off podcast.
On mad moments, judo rolls, officialdom, and more games coming up before we know it. With @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social and @adrianjclarke.bsky.social
@amylawrence.bsky.socialI’m not asking for anyone’s sympathy. I just felt educated by that article regarding what is happening in the moment.
