I have no idea who the little guy is, but in the space of two hours I’ve seen him slapped in one clip and then elbowed in the clip below, and both incidents create a warm feeling inside because FAFO.

You wouldn't think it from the reactions tonight but Man City and Arsenal have both taken 13 points from their respective last eight Premier League matches.
The players have to put this behind them and go and win on Sunday. We're five points clear, the title is still in our own hands.

Can’t wait to see the retro merch that will drop between now and Sunday.

We will beat Spurs, IMO.
They won’t sit back. They’ll go for us, and they’ll regret it *if* we play as we can.
But something isn’t quite right. I think nerves are a huge part of it - Raya and Gabriel fucking up like that for the equaliser?! We have to find some composure.

With all the offside fuss, easy to miss that it was a MAGNIFICENT finish from Hincapie.

…and lo; the pricks that wander around Wolverhampton did take comfort, and they came at us, and the pundits said we needed to take control, and then we scored from open play, and now hush your beaks.

I hope Wolves *have* taken comfort from that half, and get at us.
It’d mean that they attack more and then let’s see if they’re good enough against our defence, and how well they deal with us countering.
Won’t happen: they’ll sit deep and lump it long and we’ll have to keep chipping away.

Madueke was slow to track back and I swear, if he was closer to Mikel he’d have been slapped.
Arteta was fuming.

I don’t really give a fuck what other supporters (or pundits) think of Arsenal and our play, but what I will say is; when teams revert to five at the back, and (understandably) choose to sit deep after going 0-1 down, we can’t be responsible for how dull that might be for some to watch.

I just think it would be nice and fair if Arsenal win tonight by a 10 goal margin.
Is that so much to ask for?

Manhunter is the best Thomas Harris film adaptation imo. It's severely underrated. Best Dollarhyde and Lecter versions for sure.

If you haven’t seen Manhunter, it’s an incredible film.
It brings us the first cinematic appearance of Hannibal Lecter (played by Brian Cox), and Tom Noonan gives an incredible performance of vulnerability and terror, as the serial killer being hunted by William Petersen’s Will Graham.
