The wildfires in LA are really something from an apocalyptic Hollywood movie. It’s utterly horrifying. I cannot even begin to imagine it.

Really excellent work from Martinelli down the right. Jesus great effort, and Havertz poaching. Much better.

GABI JESUS IS A CHANGED MAN

A FUCKING HATTRICK ARE YOU MAD?????

GABI JESUS HAS TURNED INTO PELE

Great great finish Gabi Jesus. Much better in this second half so far. Come on Arsenal! ❤️🤍

We’ve lost this already I’m afraid. Sterling, Merino, Kiwior, Partey, Gabriel Jesus… these are not the players you want on the pitch when you’re struggling.

Kyle Walker is an embarrassment. What a complete and utter bellend.

I think some perspective is needed. Totally fine to be disappointed with today, this season, and our transfer window. We all are. But there shouldn’t even be any whisper of Arteta Out. It’s an off season. Everyone has them. Time to remember where we were before 22/23.

We’re crap I’m afraid.

One of the worst halves of football I’ve ever seen. We’re so uninspiring at times.

We want you to stay. We want you to stay. Ange Postecoglou. We want you to stay.

Christ, Merino is the most disappointing signing for a good while for me. Especially given the fact we’re so light up top. Money could’ve been spent so much better. What an uninspiring player he is.

Gabi Jesus is absolutely finished.

Waited months and paid millions to get him. Now he’s gone already. That club is an absolute mess from top to bottom.

It really does not get any less funny to watch Man United lose. They’re so so crap.

That’s some of the worst goalkeeping you’re ever likely to see. What is Onana doing?

Sitting in the office, working on the network's Christmas plans, listening to Meet The Grahams in my headphones, and suddenly remembering how unbelievably cold and brutal this track is. Holy shit.

Simon Calder is fucking loving today. Plonked himself down in the middle of a chaotic Paddington station to report on the sheer state of the country’s rail network. Lot of respect for it.

Me, at 7:59 this morning: “gosh I hope I don’t get caught on Stair-cam today” Me, at 8:01am, trudging like a man who’s shit his pants:

We win tonight and we win well. In good form and just need to avoid brainfarts

United at home. Take that.

Gregg Wallace has really provided the most incredible lesson in PR over the last few days.

Massive away win for the little fella.

I BELIEVE

What a stupid game of football hahahahaha

Fucking hell this is just ridiculous.

Bukayo Saka is just beyond incredible. I am so so proud and happy that he’s ours.

How have the Raiders fucked this up??? Chiefs hands down the luckiest team in history. #NFL

That was a shitshow at the end there for the Bears. Caleb Williams totally lost track of the time. Could’ve been a grandstand finish into overtime. Shame. What a second half performance from the Bears though! #NFL

Merse being the only one to have cleared his plate is killing me.

Imagine fucking Gary Barlow coming on to perform at half time during a Boxing Day match in England. America’s obsession with musical performance during sporting events is so weird.

Thanksgiving football. God bless America.

A very decent morning in Salford.

There is simply no reason for it to be -3c. Really dreadfully unnecessary.

Had a look at treating myself to some Ray Ban Meta spectacles for Black Friday. Saw the price to put prescription lenses in and almost leapt out of a window.

Drake: Just one, please Hot dog cart guy: Mustard on the meat? Drake: *bursts into tears*

It’s really lovely for Man City to show most of their fans how things used to be before the takeover. Lot of respect for it.

Honestly what a brilliant evening. One of our best performances of the season. Sporting are no mugs and we’ve just blown them away.

WHAT A HEADER. My god he just steams in from nowhere. Phenomenal.

We might be elite.

Watching Monday Night Football in bed with a Bonne Maman chocolate mousse. Goodness me.

Black Friday ❤️
