I am watching the game with my MIL.

Decisions like this are making it hard for me to restrict the use of asterisks

Unusually so.

Is ugly football now what teams aspire to?

It’s really difficult to watch.

You’d have thought clubs would see that it’s not a good thing in the long term.

It turns out fans off.

And fewer fans mean less money

Another one of life’s mysteries

Like the length of a minute on the Underground: hard to work out

If nothing else, it would progress to see the same approach taken in all the leagues

At least then it would be consistently inconsistent, and not just inconsistently inconsistent

The lines seemed to be drawn from the ball, which I’ve not seen before

Is that new?

Great minds think alike

Well

And that Arsenal’s first loss was against us.

Now would be a good time to go on a successful, high-scoring run.

I can dream…

I turned the sound off
