Fruit Bats - Lazy Eye
YouTube video by Angus Denver

Think I might post a song that appears in my head each day on here.
I used to love getting mixed tapes as gifts (or giving them). So it's in that spirit.
Here, for no reason whatsoever other than it just came to me, is Fruit Bats and Lazy Eye.

Just spent half an hour trying to come up with a Big Gabi/Grace Jones song mash up. Time well spent I’m sure you will agree.

My god that goal was delicious. What a thrill for Gabriel Jesus. All those endless days of rehab. Imagine how wonderful it feels for him. 😍

Merry morning to you all.

Here's a few words on Arsenal, tightrope football, and acknowledging that it might not be perfect but when you are top of the two big leagues and cracking on in cups it could be worse...

Arsenal may be playing tightrope football, but they are rarely putting a foot wrong
Arsenal's League Cup quarterfinal with Crystal Palace went the distance – as so many of their recent matches have done

FIFA's World Cup ticket prices are a betrayal to the most dedicated fans. At least $6900 to support your team from the first match to the final - nearly 5 times more than in Qatar.
FSE calls for the immediate halt to ticket sales.

It shouldn’t be beyond the wit of FIFA to make it mandatory for anyone applying for the honour to host a World Cup to commit to cheap ticket guarantees for competing nation supporters clubs.
FIFA is telling each participating FA how much their 8% ticket allocations will cost & where those seats are in the venues. The English FA is still waiting but the Croatian FA has got the scoop. Cheapest ticket for 🏴 v 🇭🇷 is $265, 8x UEFA’s “fan first” tickets in Germany!

My lovely postie just saw me lugging a Christmas tree up the road and stopped what he was doing to carry it up the road.

On Arsenal, fists beating the turf repeatedly, faces dropped into the ground, and reactions.
It wasn't just hurt, which is normal, it was also angry, which tells you something about what the team expects of themselves.

What this picture tells us about Arsenal and anger
Arsenal's players showed a huge range of emotions after conceding late against Aston Villa. What can we learn from them?

As a treat Handbrake Off pod is up nice and early Monday morning to bring joy after 'a hairy weekend'. In extra good news, Adrian watched the game again so you don't have to. With @adrianjclarke.bsky.social and @ianstonecomedy.bsky.social. Enjoy x

That draw was an unbearable surreal-fest. It was like watching football's carcass being picked at by preening, self-satisfied vultures.

Popped over to the other place to check on someone and chanced on these. Got me thinking. I’m old enough not to be bothered by angry strangers. But exposure to faceless hate on social media must be very disturbing for young people who don’t have the tools or perspective. It worries me.

Well, that was a slog.
Some words on an intense game too far at the end of an intense week. Arsenal were too leggy to get everything they wanted. But for Arteta, being disappointed with a point away at Chelsea is a sign of what they are striving for.

Arsenal had an intense week – and they played like it
Fatigue was as much Arsenal’s enemy as Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. They need to recharge, but the games keep on coming.

Hello friends. Dropping this here to support my son, who has been through some stuff I wouldn't wish on anyone and is channelling his experience into a near marathon in laps around the Emirates for mens mental health charities. Any pennies, or goodwill messages, appreciated! ❤️

Enjoyed Arsenal-Bayern. Have to shout out Lennart Karl. Even aside from the goal he was an absolute dynamo. Arsenal have faced two forwards with such impressive craft and graft in their last two big Champions League games - Alvarez and Karl.
