Sunday 24th May is the final and deciding day of the Premier League season. All the games are played at the same time (17:00) but I assume broadcasters will prioritise the big ticket ones (Palace v Arsenal and Man City v Aston Villa).

Are there any other Arsenal fans in the city planning to go and watch this in or around Stratumseind? If so, where?

I'm fairly new here so don't know the best sports pubs and it would be good to know if anyone has intel on which venues are likely to attract more Arsenal rather than City fans.

I'm looking for advice from anyone who may have been in a similar situation or who knows the publishing industry well. I have an agent at a major London literary agency who has successfully pitched two books for me which are now published. Last year we worked on another pitch which was ultimately unsuccessful. I have another idea I'd like to discuss with them although it's a bit different to what I've published previously.

My problem is that I'm having a lot of trouble getting my agent's attention, to the point where I am wondering if they are quietly dropping me. They don't answer my emails or pick up my calls, despite me trying for weeks to make contact. I'm obviously not a priority for them at present, which is fair enough - the world doesn't need to revolve around me and I know how busy and unpredictable an agent's work life can be. But it's so frustrating not to be able to get enough of their time to even give a quick elevator pitch of an idea.

What should I do? I think it would be a bit drastic, not to mention risky, to leave this agency and try to find another one. And this agent and I do have a good working relationship when things are flowing. If anyone has any tips on how to handle this - and please be honest if there are things I'm doing wrong - I'd very much like to hear them.
