Oh for sure but to be honest I think a lot of the “shock for shock’s sake” stuff was dishonest anyway and acted as cover/permission for genuinely held abhorrent views

I mean, similar direction for sure but not quite the same thing I think. Don’t know much about McInnes but 80s provocateurs were interested in shock for shock’s sake - think Divine eating dogshit in Pink Flamingos

Never really had any direct interactions with any of that crowd but the fascism thing does tie in with the fact that a lot of their transgression and taboo (so to speak) was directed against conventional liberal mores just as much as against conventional conservative mores. Plenty of casual racism

Pretty sure Leigh Bowery would have ended up trodding this path too sooner or later had he lived.

Typically identified more by the first combo than the second these days

Might even slightly prefer if they did just to prolong Newcastle’s long trophy drought

Contractions would be a good name for a Jazz album. You can picture the Reid Miles cover

Which is more disturbing, Up (2009) or A Serbian Film (2010)? Hard to say

Designed a short lived Optician's shop in it for my sister in the late 1990s with a huge 3m high oak door

I visited it first as a 7 year old and Quinnsworth (as it was before it became Super Crazy Prices and then Tesco) was like this incredible French Hypermarché from the future.

Couple of interior photos as album covers from the old Dundalk Municipal District days

Yeah, got this on vinyl a couple of months back. Really amazing stuff. Love Mad Professor, love E2-E4 and this in a strange way sounds like neither!

The best part of the article is a section about his father's unwavering confidence that a turtleneck is the most flattering thing a man can wear—an inflexible and enduring axiom that, Tom writes, his father believed in more than the existence of God.

My sister, a huge potato fan, was in a restaurant in Ronda a few years back and ordered “Crown of Rooster” assuming it was a dish based on the titular tuber and was chagrined to see a cooked cockerel’s head served up to her

Re Aubameyang the issue is less about the individual but the profile. Arteta just doesn’t seem to like or want an out and out striker

Oh the last thing I’m saying is that Arsenal compare unfavourably to Utd which they obviously don’t

Plus the AFTV element among the fandom that hounded Wenger out has already started on him

Yup. He strikes me as a fairly inflexible sort of guy and this has brought him to this level but this inflexibility I think will prevent him from making the proper course correction when things do go bad

Yep, see also Keenan’s Newcastle, Poch’s Spurs

It took him a while to develop his template and style after the FA cup win and while it brought more consistency and higher league finishes I think there’s this poch style inability to get over the line in 1st place
comment in response to
post
What I mean is that the FA cup winning team was built by Emery and Arteta binned off most of those guys pretty quickly. The factors that hold Arsenal back are his overly cautious approach and distrust of actual goalscorers.

Fortune favours the brave! Of course maybe there’s some 4D chess here trying to reverse jinx them into stopping Liverpool reach 20 though I can’t see it
comment in response to
post
The fact that Aubameyang is in the picture with him is a clue as to how much that win represented Arteta’s vision for Arsenal!

Absolutely worthless if somehow Bruno’s goal, Zirkzee’s shot saved, Mainoo’s shot saved plus every other chance adds up to 0.27

There’s always that suspicion at Arsenal going back into the Wenger years that they’re really more comfortable with the silver medal rather than the gold
comment in response to
post
He’d certainly do a job, talk of Ollie Watkins too but at the same time you wonder is it just personnel or manager’s caution and approach. For some reason Arteta doesn’t seem to want an actual No. 9

Ref was v card happy against united for sure and didn’t have the courage to do the same to the home team
comment in response to

TBH Shearer (!) of all people as co-comm was a massive upgrade on G Nev and gave credit where it was due to united’s performance. No way Gaz would have done this he’d be moaning about every united mistake
