Transcendent!

Claiming a pre-assist for Ødegaaard’s goal because I’m in Norway.

In London a time comes every day where the ghosts get their own back. It's often subtle but always undeniable, and it's strongest in autumn & winter. If you're ever at loose ends on Christmas Eve, pay respects at St Michael's Cornhill. Because here, down the alley, was Scrooge's counting house.

"You there, boy! [slurpy inhale sound] What day is it?"

I took a picture.

That’s hilarious.

Is he playing volleyball!?! That’s a penalty. 100%

Anyway, we watched “Meet Me in St. Louis” last night. A delight. Go forth.

Should’ve been Richarlison’s second yellow after the choking he got away with.

They’re just a dirty, dirty team.

🎉

I think it’d be fun if another Tottenham player gets sent off.

"Comforter" by 90s r&b group Shai just came on my shuffle and I am again reminded that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's nickname should be The Comforter.

The Jay Jay Okocha AFCON ad is absolutely cold as hell

Great representation of the FABLab in Edinburgh #BES2025 with two excellent posters, both involving charismatic bees and Scottish machair. On display tonight in the Lennox Suite - go find @tegangaetano.bsky.social if you’re interested.

Always feels like he hesitates to just make space and have a go, but he sure did there. Bravo. What a strike. 3 top goals today.

Oh, that is a peach from Martinelli.

Ref kind of looks like John Terry.

End product crucial for Madueke. He has his defender on skates every time, but creating and scoring key for him. Feels like a player who can go bang.

Noni! Terrific goal.

Noni’s corner was immediately miles better than against Brentford.

No Fletch on comms for Arsenal. What a relief.

This Don Gorske article was wonderful.

Totally forgot Merino plays in the midfield.

Tonight’s entertainment. Just met Martin Keown outside the ground.

What it feels like to be at The Arsenal right now.

That felt like the real deal today.

The tifo at The Arsenal today was OUTSTANDING. Jaw dropping as that thing was unveiled. Bravo. What a day.

The ARSENAL

Honestly, the tours wandering outside the ground muttering, “Tickets? Tickets?” under their breath is so funny.

What's this happiness thing going on in Aberdeen Bus Station Greggs this morning? Baccara's Yes Sir I Can Boogie just played on the radio and half of the commuters started singing along. I exaggerate a little, but I counted 7 people singing it in the queue, Full Monty style.

Giannis Antetokounmpo assisted on 14 of the Bucks' 20 threes tonight. His 18 assists led to FIFTY points.

Every now and then, pop on The Essential Artie Shaw and His Orchestra. Can't go wrong.

Tifo this

Another spot @tegangaetano.bsky.social has visited in her PhD experience.

Barra is one of the islands where @tegangaetano.bsky.social has done her field work.

There’s two older guys in the row in front of me. They’re classic Milwaukee but also real Bucks fans. Deeply into it. Anyway, one of them asked the other: “Can I convince you to skip bowling next week to see the Knicks?” Milwaukee!

Jurrien Timber (2025)

Those Champions League nights. Tonight, we welcome Atletico Madrid.

The third ingredient in the rare Schlablatzbst.

Special kind of clammy in the air when you’re entering hour seven on a train.

Looking forward to being back on Tuesday and Sunday. Should be a fun one against Atletico on Tuesday.

Grind It Out FC

This whole “got a touch” thing drives me crazy. Sure, but if you go through the player to do so?
