Arsenal Women's team accused of a lack of diversity. You can't say that about their men's team.

And anyway what about the best players being involved. Why do you have to have diversity? I expect a fair few of them are gay.

Yep.

Their centre forward smokes a pipe

Dead giveaway

Joey Barton sacked by Bristol Rovers.

Brilliant news. Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Now I can talk to their supporters who seemed reasonable people but I could never understand why they supported the thug.

Carnage at White Hart Lane.

One sent off, two hobbled off, manager booked, four Chelsea goals disallowed and one penalty. And not yet half-time.

Nine minutes into the second half, Tottenham down to nine men.

They no longer play at White Hart Lane ......

I can't be doing with all these new, stupid names for football stadia that they change every few years when offered a bit more money. I mean, the Coventry Building Society Stadium, the Bet365 Stadium, the Amex, the Etihad, the Emirates, Kingpower, the Gtech Community Stadium, the Madejski Stadium. The Toughsheet Community Stadium for goodness sake.

I grew up with magical names that meant something like Gigg Lane, Elm Park, Roker Park, Griffin Park, Burnden Park, Eastville, the Goldstone, Gay Meadow...

Anyway, Tottenham's stadium is still adjacent to White Hart Lane.

What, you being awkward 😁

We still call it Three Point Lane!
Barmy match last night - very enjoyable.

The post match comments by the Spuds manager was refreshing if that would have been Arteta or Klopp they would have to have been put in the recovery position,

To be honest, Chelsea didn't exactly cover themselves in glory.
God knows why it took them a full hour to work out how to beat that ridiculous high line. ie the ball over the top
And once they'd cracked that, and Spurs were down to 9 men, we should have scored a hat-full.
Still - always good to beat the Spuds.
