Did you see Arteta's comments about talking to Declan re: his new role in this team? I think it'll take a little time for everyone to settle in again.

I don't think it does the field good, in the long term, to elide line-level issues in reviews; & we fail to elevate talent if our analysis doesn't go deeper than the pitch.

Personal hobbyhorse, but thinking about AI in publishing is really making me want criticism to go harder on discussing the actual style & substance of books. If we just talk about plot & vibes, we're leaving the door totally open, & missing out on the good stuff besides. "It's just words on a page."

What's new?

I said bestie for bestie haha

BRUNOOO. What a finish. What a build up. Now we're talking.

Unicorn is as unicorn does 😌

RICHYYY

Okay, change that to me to the players. C'mon guys.

Arsenal are finally back. Me to me:

Yesss Bossman Mikel! Here to stay ❤️🤍

think BBC's Sherlock has to win this, adored the first season but the whole thing went downhill with such DRAMA, with such FLAIR that I cringe at the very thought of having ever enjoyed it

Goal machine Mikel Merino, is it?
