Weekend sports musings:
Can't respect Arsenal supporters by and large; the whiniest of all whiny whiners
Andre Onana isn't even a Championship-standard GK
I hope Spurs keep Big Ange forever; perfect for them
Villa with a comeback draw that feels like a massive win is promising

An AVFC hot takes from Ye Olde Jirobe:
Malen is not a Diaby replacement. I personally know many BVB supporters, they're confused as why Villa would want him exclusively. They used the words "frustrating", "inconsistent" & "inaccurate"
His stats back all of that up. Sure, he's rapid. That's it.

Six times today, I've gotten a notification that this person has followed me.
But no real notification when I bring up the app. Not among my followers list or a name I readily recognize.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or what. Or is it a bot, which Bluesky is ensuring I don't interact with? 🤔

Me thinking it was a good idea to clean shave my face for the first time in 9 years, right before it gets bitter cold/windy.
What a dolt I can be.
Chittering teeth mixed with a Pittsburgh accent AND looking 18 years old has to be annoying, I've realized.

The audacity of life has allowed me to have a full day of work paid, while I sit at home and watch football.
It doesn't happen often, but when life is good...it sure is grand.

So do I break the bank for Morgan Rogers graded rookie cards I don't have yet or do I YET AGAIN have to try & practice being a responsible 36 year old.

Very odd feeling the past week or so at work. Like, there is something people want to talk about or get off their chests but are afraid of judgement or retaliation of some sort. Me, i just stay in my middle-class lane. I've got bills to pay and not much after that.
It's a sad reality, but true. 😔

Massive Steelers win against the Ravens. It was ugly, it was gritty, it was a perfect example of why it is the most heated rivalry in the National Football League.
There are no comparisons; a competitive dislike that goes far beyond what any of the other 30 teams can call a rivalry.

Buckland's Museum Of Witchcraft & Magick in Cleveland is a really cool spot, full of very interesting artifacts and lore. So much history in one building, including a few trinkets from Cornwall, Liverpool and Birmingham.

I'm hoping it can get traction here than it ever did on X. This was my favourite piece of writing, and it performed badly.
