Arsenal season ticket holder, give or take the odd tour of duty, since 1977. A bit of a sweary fucker.

There were Arsenal stewards asking for ID outside the stadium. Send them into the fucking dressing room to do the same at half time.

Travelling so far into Cunt Corner (*see below) tonight that we may actually come out the other side. *Cunt Corner is the generic term for the North West of England where every single club, without exception, has nothing but sheer hate for us

By pure coincidence today, I have a lunchtime appointment in Manchester. Booked a train back in the morning, so I may be at a loose end for something to do in the North West this evening…

Feeling sorry for anyone at United? Get a fucking grip on yourself. They fully enjoyed the end of the Wenger era, and we should be drinking their fucking tears in pints.

That’s a really good finish. The United fans should enjoy it, moments like that will be few and far between for them this season.

That 4th official today was 29yo Ruebyn Ricardo. He’s the one that gave a pen in the Championship a couple of weeks ago for a clean, ball winning tackle outside the box. Now he’s been promoted to grass on managers for stepping out of the technical area. Cunt.

Looking forward to watching the Chelsea fans at work having to suck it up from the impoverished Totteringham fans at work on Monday.

Hilarious. They sent Saliba off for one on the fucking half way line, where the attacker didn’t even have control of the ball, at Bournemouth.

What’s in an away fan’s wallet? It’s odd not to have the match tickets in there, what with having one PDF and one actual ticket for the next two.

Michael Oliver holding us to different standards on free kicks yesterday, always the way. Counting on a throw in has given him all manners of new imbalance now; we get counted when a winger is handing the ball to a fullback. They can jump, both feet off the ground, and throw the ball.

Eze looked like the kid that forgot his boots and had to play in trainers yesterday. Havertz and Saka weren’t much better. I still have the feeling that staying out of a market that Man City absolutely ruined will turn out to be the right decision though.

Whilst City were once innocent until proven guilty, their status has now changed to guilty. Everyone has the right to appeal but, given the amount of nonsense that they have previously presented to the High Court, we know that the facts have little to do with the litigation.

Meanwhile; off we go to Nottingham, with a feeling that we are being cheated every step of the way. Michael Oliver is the ref today. A referee that has been paid by City’s owners in recent years.

Watching Miles Lewis-Skelly excel at left-back in the CL last night I got a little bit angry that Berta was hawking him around for sale this summer. He’s 19 and he’s top class in two positions. Absolute madness even thinking about selling such a talent.

Personally I think that all of the financially doped clubs should just play each other in a nation state super league. What’s that you say? Oh.

Routine group stage win, where everyone looks good against some farmers. (Big Vik aside). Funny moment when the whole of Row 14 in block 131 seats became unbolted at once and everyone fell off them. Pit crew came up and fixed it with 10 mins of F1 pit crew noises.

My daughter was six there, and she was just being herself. She’s eighteen now and she’s grown up to be a talented, intelligent and demure young woman. Whatever is in your head is the issue, and most definitely not the child.

Maybe this isn't the time or the place...but what's with the little girl? Not the image I would want any daughter of mine to pose for.

Hard to devise a better metaphor for the past decade and a half of Premier League football than Man City winning while playing with an extra man.
