Nice bit of Narrative (TM) building up today across press plank-ton
land about whether Wanyama should have been sent off at Palace.

Meanwhile, in other news the LIGO facility has temporarily been diverted
from attempting to detect gravity waves to the even more ambitious task
of finding hack commentary on the Puncheon tackle on Dembele.

A few years back on here, or maybe even Old606, I compared Boris Johnson to Mario Balotelli: he's a nasty piece of work, but because various pundits have decided he's "a character" that means they treat everything he does as if it's a harmless comedic caper, yet if anyone else in his profession did the exact same thing those same pundits would be demanding his head.

Can't think why this popped into my mind today...

To be fair he has all the credentials for a success in current politics.
Prone to extreme exaggeration - tick
Not concerned about anything he says - tick
Not apparently giving any thought to what he's saying before he says it - tick
(I say apparently, cos he clearly knows exactly what he's going to say......)
No consistent ideological drivers - tick
A massive self-publicist - tick

I've probably missed a few...... <laugh>

On the other hand, he does have a nasty habit of actually answering questions that are put to him. He'd never be a Tory with that attitude!

The Sun are reporting that Jamie & Louise Redknapp's marriage is in trouble, citing the Celebrity Come Dancing Curse

...so it's nothing to do with how he probably keeps her awake at night complaining about Spurs?

All that Spurs angst Jamie has bottled up. :)
It could be worse though, Louise. At least you're not married to Danny Murphy.

Tom Collomosse became Tom Comatose in the Friday ES, trying to run at
least 4 different Narrative (TM) in one article.

And of course the <standard> Danny Murphy 'do Spurs down' piece.
 
Prepare yourselves - here is the official match report from the Goons' site...

Soft defending… and a soft penalty

We looked in decent shape as the 55th minute arrived at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Tottenham had put us under pressure, but the extra security of a back three had kept them at arm’s length. With both Manchester clubs drawing earlier on Sunday, we looked capable of matching our top-four rivals.

Then Dele Alli pounced on a loose ball to break the deadlock, and Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot within three minutes. Game over.

Here’s what Arsène Wenger said about the goals that killed off our chances of a win on our last visit to the Lane:

on the game…
I think it was a tight game until they scored the first goal and then we conceded straightaway a soft penalty. The 2-0 was a shock and gave Spurs big confidence and I think it took us time to recover from that. In the end, we created chances but were a bit lucky to keep it at 2-0. Then the last 15 minutes we dominated the game but without being capable to create clear-cut chances or take any chance we created. Overall I think you come to the conclusion than Spurs deserved to win the game - well done to them.

on whether he learnt anything about his players today…
Look, I felt that there was plenty of room in the first half especially to score goals, that we didn’t use well because we played with a bit of a restricted attitude. I felt that we lacked a little bit of freedom to play and desire to hurt them more than we did. I think the chances we created in the first half were clear-cut chances. We did not take them well. Not with enough conviction and not with enough determination.

on whether Ox should have cleared the ball for Alli’s goal…
Honestly, I haven’t seen it again. I have to watch it from the bench, it was not very clear. We just looked that we were not outnumbered, but we had six against two or three. It was soft defending.

I can't think where the ArsenalFanTV mob get it from...
