One of the things I find most fascinating about the live match reaction streamers on YouTube is that they're in this weird purgatory in which they only get paid when their team loses, because no one's watching that shit when they win.
It's like a half-wit's Faustian pact.

I see the racists are mad that a black woman has been cast as Helen of Troy.
They're OK with her dad being Zeus and taking the form of a swan to rattle her mum, meaning she was born from an egg though.

I've come to realise that North London has median line of banter, with spectacular outliers.
It just so happens that Arsenal's spectacular outliers are things like going invincible or prob winning the quadruple, where as ours are things like eating lasagne and shitting our pants before a big game.
