Is Max Dowman allowed in the dressing room afterwards for the #arsenal celebrations? 😆

Exactly me too! I sold Gyokeres out of my fantasy auction squad too. Definitely worth it!

I remember clearly Barry talking about bananas. He said something like “it’s like putting rocket fuel in a Morris Minor”.

City focusing on the league…

Hahahha I’m the same age as you - my first three games I watched - midnight kick off here, Dad woke me up - were the 3 Cup Finals 1978-1980. I saw a bloke on the weekend at a pub wearing a West Ham 1980 Cup Final shirt. We had a little laugh but I wanted to burn his shirt.

Just re the person who wrote in describing Wrexham as a vanity project. It is, but which of the top 30 or so clubs isn’t now? You pretty much have to have sugar parents.

Just read Amy and ignore the rest.

Boy Swallows Universe - Australian coming of age story with some crime and a bit of mysticism. The Netflix series is wonderful too.

And I second Project Hail Mary.

And any of the Discworld novels.

And The Gentleman Bastards series.

And The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

I’m not sure. I’m in Australia and not up with who they all are - and I missed the first 3 minutes. We may have had a different feed to you guys in the UK 🤷‍♂️

Sound down is a great idea. The commentators are really annoying - they’d love a Mansfield win.

Mind you we are looking lackadaisical.

Whoever the co commentator is, he is a knob.

It kind of feels like we are playing worse than previous years but getting the results we need. The pressure must be having an impact and as Amy said elsewhere if we win this title our mental situation should be much different next season. But we are dealing with it and so far still winning!

And a big draw! Still can’t really breathe properly.

Came here to post that - glad I wasn’t the pedant today! 😂

While at times it’s annoying being in the other side of the world, I also only have to endure whichever length of highlights package I choose to watch when I wake up. This morning was only 10 minutes of agony 😂

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Bloody fabulous Andrew. I’ve been reading since 2007. I love that you’re you. I love the blogs about your dreams and the crazy stuff, and I love your measured opinions and your humour and your obvious sense of social justice. And that Sp*rsl should be relegated. And Amaury Bischoff PI.

Thanks 🙏

280 quid? 😳 does the seat give you a massage?

Congrats Amy - I’ve been reading your work for about 25 years now - love it.

I’m claiming some credit as I did swap Gyokeres out.

Me too. Horrible way to start the day. Was well pissed off for most of the day.

I don’t want to “like” this but I agree entirely, and more strongly, with your sentiment.

And yet you’re still so eloquent. Have a lovely day!

Hi @vincerugari.com - what do you think the chances are of Josh Nisbet getting in the World Cup squad? He seems to be doing well at Roda.

It’s going to be an awfully stressful couple of months or so.

Actually you’re probably right here, cheers

I mean it’s useful from minimising their goal difference but otherwise just ridiculous. The ref played a sensible advantage and VAR, I don’t know what VAR did. They’re the hall monitors of football.

The ref needed to stand up to them and say - I know it was a foul but I played the advantage. Dumb

Haha beat me to it! Cheers Blogs.

Like what you’ve done with the colours there too! 👏

@arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social a co-worker gave me this afternoon the Man Utd game. I’m going to fill it at the end of the season with tears of joy, or maybe sorrow, freeze it, and beat him around the head with it. Just thought you’d like to know.
