I can retrospectively view his performance on the night of the test event in a new light. Several people pointed out he looked like he'd had a few Erdingers. I thought he had the demeanour of a man with better things to be doing with his evening but felt an obligation to put on a show. I think he's reached that tipping point.

I remember the euphoria when he became manager. No way anyone could live up to those expectations, right? Instead, he exceeded them. All I can say is:

Fixed that for you.

My brother-in-law and his cousin at the game. The location of the cousin's Bitter brother at the time is not known.

Don't do that, you'll be rumbled immediately.

And I hope we don't sell Branthwaite on the cheap But everything must go

You need to take the bus.

Dave will be insufferable. I am glad.

There is a third camp, to whom I will leave it to Upton Sincliair to describe: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” I'm not being flippant. The recording of the Odegaard handball was most revealing, by which I mean...there were two of them! Two of them, and they agreed with each other that it wasn't a penalty! If you picked at random from every Arsenal fan on the planet, you'd have to do it a million times to find two who thought that wasn't handball, yet we have two officials who are paid to get this right who got it wrong. As Mook points out, we've had over four years of lived experience to see it can't be relied on to fix mistakes. For the reason why this can't be acknowledged, I refer you to the aforementioned Mr Sinclair.

When did you start feeling too old for the Kop?

"In the blue triangle, everything seems strange" "Cadbury is axing its struggling Biarritz brand to make way for Darkness". This was in 1996. Because of course.

Mark Carney, eh? County Road stretching as far as the Northwest Territories.

By which he means the likes of Villa and their ilk need to band together to support a classy and dignified big club, who classily and dignifitally have the interests of the small clubs at heart. Unless there is a TV deal which involves the Big Five reaping all the benefits, in which case the small clubs can fuck right off.

'Must include at least one number' -> 1878

You're no fun. I'm sure Phil McNulty can separate the personal from the professional and have no issue with him being himself on a sock puppet account. Heck, the 'Phil McNulty' account could reasonably viewed as the fake one. However, the towering self-regard displayed in those tweets since he has been caught out deserve - nay, demand - ridicule.

Absolute cunts.

As always, the cover up is worse than the crime. If he had held his hands up and said my bad, everyone would have had a good laugh and forgotten about it within hours. Instead he is now trapped in a lie and you are left wondering: what else is he lying to us about?

I'd like to get a fanboy take, can anyone direct me to one?

My wife thinks the slot where the drip tray on the coffee maker goes into the machine connects to a pipe that drains the tray. That's the only explanation for why she never, ever, empties it. No amount of liquid flowing out of the tray seems to make the penny drop. See also: the congealed gunk on the milk frother. She makes a super cup of tea though.

It's like Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes. You have to commit.

One instance of a typo in Ben Shite's name. You're welcome.

Any time I see/hear a discussion of Ten Jarg's fate at Man Utd, I always think on how there is only one man out there who could whip that dysfunctional club into shape. You can add Arsenal's goalkeeping woes to that discussion. I'm sure Dave was pretty phlegmatic about Liverpool's goalkeeping situation before Alisson on the basis that there wasn't any superstar out there who could transform the fortunes of the Reds. Well, there was and he has. Good luck to Arsenal finding anyone in the same class.
