I thought some more about a couple of the points I made in the post-match thread, having read and listened to some stuff about the post-match reactions from Silva, Stones, Guardiola etc.

All of this is GOOD. ManC are implicitly announcing that we are the proverbial bee’s dick away from besting them. This reminds me of the Wenger and Ferguson, Vieira and Keane rivalry period. Instead of Pep and Co. patronising us at the end of matches, they now have to reach for anything they can to try and get an advantage over us. They are resorting to being happy they got a draw at home and bitching about our so-called “dark arts”. Meh.

All this without MØ and Merino coming back PLUS Rodri out for the season.

I’m pretty excited to see what happens. Hopefully my optimism doesn’t get crushed like a bug!

Happy Tuesday. We’re now 7-5 equal favourites for the title with the bookies.

I think Neto is Cup-tied

Red cards carry across domestic competitions, apparently.

Despite being frustrated, I’ve learnt through the years of “suffering” to find some positives. There were actually many about this week, once I had a think.

• Away at Topspurts Hotspurts, Atalanta, Man City in the space of a week and playing on Thursday in Italy…we’ve done pretty well.
• All this with no Ødegaard (or Merino for that matter)
• We’ve definitely got in the heads of the blue side of Manchester. I def detect that their crowd knows how good we are. We are on their level, no doubt
• Defended superbly against The Best Team In The World™️ for 55 mins despite the shit interpretation of the laws of the game by the Howard Webb Referee Travelling Roadshow
• Califiori’s banging debut goal
• Timber and Califiori at fullback at the same time. Looked great.
• Trossard only misses the Bolton game, I think

There’s more, but I’ll leave it there. This is so much better than the dark, dark Mustafi days.

Good point!

Not that many were using it, but Songwhip is dead. Links that are already created still work but not sure how long this will last.

On the plus side, at least Bukayo got a rest. Edit-I hope he’s not injured

1:30a kickoff, so I time-shifted this. I’m both very proud of the performance after getting shafted by the ref, but also fucking frustrated. You could tell that the ManC fans were scared of us.

Six big chances to zero plus a good goal incorrectly denied. Somehow, I still feel lucky that we got that point, though.

What a prick of a deflection

Nice shot of Keira Walsh in the stands

Yeah! I listened to some of their stuff a couple of years ago and then got reminded of them recently because of their new stuff. I thought they were the band from the Japanese movie and not a current band.

I will keep an eye open for them heading my way!

Just started listening to it. I haven’t come across NTS before.

That’s shit news to wake up to. Not over at all though.

Indirect free kicks can be awarded inside the 18 yard box. Usually to do with the keeper handling the ball when they shouldn’t e.g from a back pass

I just caught up with the hard Arsenal mascot’s antics.

Live thread bot looks good

I believe in the 'istory
