This, by @sidlowe.bsky.social, is beautiful. It is the kind of piece you can show people when they ask "but how can you still love football?" "Dear Sir/Madam, this is why".

Word discovery of the day is ‘yoke-devil’ (17th century): an accomplice in a villainous or immoral undertaking.

Word of the day is ‘matutolypea’: extreme grumpiness in the morning.

From the Latin ‘Matuta’, Roman goddess of the dawn, and the Greek ‘lype’, ‘grief’. Put them together and you get ‘morning grief’.

I honestly don’t know how Michael Oliver can referee another Arsenal game again after that today. What trust there was (which was very little) has just totally gone now. The more you watch it, the worse it gets. How can he possibly justify making that decision? It’s always him…..

Myles Lewis-Skelly is roaring at the home crowd, pumping his fists and kissing the Arsenal badge. The youngest player to start a north London derby in the league since Cesc Fabregas in 2005. Best player on the pitch. #AFC

Derbies are often horrible games. I think this was borderline one of those but after the week we've had, the only thing that matters is the three points.

GET THE FUCK IN!

What a performance from Myles Lewis-Skelly by the way. Barely into double figures in appearances and he does that - wow!

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.

‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.

Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
