Snarky critical theorist. Philosophy music, literature, Arsenal and Sussex not nec in that order. Retired and still too busy.
You can play stylish losing football if you want. And be indignant. We did, for the last few years under Wenger. We were a team more winner against than winning. Our current way of playing is more satisfying.

What do you think of the relatively poor/indifferent form of Isak, Wurtz, Gyorkeres and to an extent Eze. Is it just hard for new players to hit top form? Is there any difference between so-called Prem ready players- Eze and Isak- and players from other leagues, e.g. Ekitike and Zubi?

All that ‘good natured fun’ the intercity firm had. The Europeans just did not understand the good old British sense of humour.

“Good natured fun” it was not. British clubs banned from European competitions because the Europeans clubs lacked a sense of humour. What an arse Jenrick is.

Football hooliganism in the 70s and 80s was highly coordinated gang violence with strong racist overtones. If the police had put a quick firm end to it the Taylor report wouldn’t have been commissioned and all seater stadiums wouldn’t not have come into existence as a result.

Only Brits. It was my intro to the Noveltones’s ‘left bank 2’.

Provided it hasn’t been irradiated - so picked not purchased - when it turns the rest of it should be perfectly ripe.

Well he’s right that voter fraud is happening. He’s making it happen!

There followed a search for the code and eventually a homework session and the pupil did not get to go to bed till 10 pm. To make it worse the homework was the 3 x table, and I’ve been teaching her the 7x table in the car.

My partner - a nurse on a trauma ward - returned home at nearly 9 pm, from a stressful day keeping people alive, to find a stressed out 7 yr old daughter who had not done her homework. I (step-dad) could not do it because the code to the online program) had been given to her mother.
