That’s a very soft penalty for VAR to overturn. Almost as if they’re re-refereeing the game. #ManCity #Brighton

One of the most annoying things about moving to Apple Music from CDs is the odd inability to find various compilation albums for quite a few artists. Sure, you can create a playlist but it really should be possible to go and get Shaved Fish without having to make it myself.

So what the hell is going on with Man City’s sanctions for their financial misconduct? Will anything ever happen?

How the hell is that not a foul on Jesus? #arsenal

No cheating, repost with the most recent photo of your pet (s)

Why is Shrewsbury’s pitch so narrow? It’s like a kids pitch.

Good god Shrewsbury’s kit is the worst thing I’ve ever seen. #BristolRovers

Are there really enough people in the country that enjoy ‘boogie woogie’ to sustain an annual show like this?

I’d like Arsenal to score 5 so that Villa can begin their inevitable slide down to 8th where they belong.

How can it look offside from one side of the pitch and onside from the other? #arsenal

Rogers worries me. Glad he’s English; wish he wasn’t playing for Villa.

Merino lucky there

How the hell is that a free kick on Rogers? #Arsenal

Prediction: Gyokeres will lose his place to Havertz.

Haha fuck you Martinez #arsenal

Could Villa take any longer with every free kick / goal kick? #arsenal #ARSAVI

Rovers have been absolute dogshit tonight but that was never a penalty #BristolRovers

Goalkeepers are so over-protected, whether being fouled or fouling. Tell me this wouldn’t have been a red card if it had been committed by an outfield player. #gyokeres #arsenal

Music biographies are the greatest. As soon as I start one I just need to listen to anything related to the subject, and before long I need to listen to everything I have ever heard or not heard

Richard Hawley would make a good one

Villa should be docked points for playing Hi-Ho Silver Lining at the end of the game.

Was having a chat with a non-native English speaker this morning and she used the term ‘over-simplicated’ instead of over simplified and I thought it sounded great.

Oh good god the news about Rob and Michelle Reiner is just unbearably sad. My absolute favourite director growing up; it’s one of those ‘it can’t be actually true’ moments.

As more devastating revelations appear about Nigel Farage we ask, can he survive this?

This isn’t a unique observation for sure, but Quentin Tarantino, criticising someone’s *acting*?? Don’t get me wrong I love lots of Tarantino movies, but he’s the worst thing in every one them that he appears in, by a country mile.

I remember where I was when I heard about John Lennon’s death. I was in school assembly and the headteacher talked about it. I loved the Red and Blue albums back then, aged 9. We used to listen to them in the car. It’s the only primary school assembly I think I can remember. youtu.be/uVXR2LYeFBI?...

So Odegaard starts for Arsenal and they lose. Coincidence? Maybe I’m being unfair but he can’t keep living off the form he showed two seasons ago. Moments of brilliance today but I’ve never seen a player so unwilling to use his weak foot, even if it’s at the cost of losing an attacking opportunity.

Have had to resort to additional protection to make sure the kittens don’t get to the grown-up cat food

Trump looks bored already. Probably wondering why there’s a man singing in foreign. #worldcupdraw

Wondering whether there’s truth in the racism allegations against a man who has consistently said and done racist things. Like wondering whether there’s truth in the sexual assault allegations against the man who has boasted about his sexual assaults and was found by a court to have raped a woman.

Arsenal look tired. Great result assuming they hold on to the lead, but the trip to Villa looks daunting on Saturday. #Arsenal

I don’t do Spotify but my Apple Replay for the year is basically just loads of Roxy Music

Gutted; just found out that Stand By Me is showing at the cinema in 15 minutes time and I can’t go. One night only. The greatest movie I’ve ever seen, and I’ve never seen it on a big screen. ☹️

@robinince.bsky.social If you haven’t seen this it’s interesting to play ‘which one is Alan Moore’

Just received an application for an IT role from someone whose experience looked a little suspicious. Checked out their LinkedIn profile, still suspicious. Checked their profile photo against an AI checker and it came back with a 100% probability that the picture is AI created.

14 yo sent me a text while I was asleep saying ‘don’t use the bread, it’s mouldy’. I wonder whether it ever crossed his mind to throw the bread away? Or is that exclusively a parent job? 😂

Cucurella, both arms round Masueke, pulls him to the ground. Anthony Taylor, looking right at it “play on”. 2 seconds later, slight touch on a Chelsea player “foul”.

So that Zubimendi tackle is worse than the Cucurella one on Saka, is it? #ARSCHE

An I alone in thinking that Odegaard currently looks like a potential weak link in this Arsenal side?

That should be a second yellow #ARSBAY

Is Olise wearing invisible shin pads? #ARSBAY

My cats helping me work

I can’t quite believe that we still have tax conversations in this country which are essentially “I don’t directly benefit from this spending so we shouldn’t spend public money on it”. That’s how public spending works. Some people pay in more than they ‘get out’, some the other way around. #budget

I’m glad we’ve established now that Nigel Farage is not the kind of racist that sets out to hurt people.

To be fair, Eze wouldn’t have have scored that hat-trick if Rice, Timber and Trossard hadn’t put them all on a plate for him. #Arsenal

How does Rice get booked there but not Richarleson?

“just accidental” says Gary Neville, without any evidence whatsoever other than it being an Arsenal player having been trodden on. #ARSTOT

Just seen the Schar challenge on Foden, how is that not a penalty? Possible red card even, really dangerous challenge. #MOTD

Maybe the kittens want to come in?
