Gemmill

I had to do a course on unconscious bias at work last week. Could do with rolling it out at PGMOL.

Somebody blow the conch. We might need Poseidon here.

He didn't see the challenge. He just saw them breaking and an Arsenal player on the floor, and just reflexively produced a card.

SHOW ME THE GLOVEYS!

Trossard looks like a heroin addict whose stumbled across a pile of tanning salon vouchers.

Blatant dive. No card.

Keown was on Lineker's podcast this week, and was a completely different bloke chatting on with him and Lineker. Relaxed, a few decent stories. He comes on these shows and he's like an Open University lecturer.

Budget for a 55 minute second half if the score stays like this.

3 bites at the cherry for Partey. He'll get his yellow, but by god he'll be made to work for it.

That's a fucking yellow, that challenge on Joelinton.

Havertz getting BRAZILLIANED.

No prolonged lectures for Newcastle players. It's straight to the pocket instead.

Hopefully that's the last time the ref thinks a lecture is a good alternative to a yellow for Arsenal players.

"Handball" call from Rice. The fucking stupid Simon Cowell haired prick.

He's a man better suited to an 8 minute MOTD highlights package. Given 90 minutes to fill, he's Aldridge Prior.

Brilliant cross. Ridiculous.

Get in.

Jared Gillet in the VAR hut. Oh dear.

I've had a couple of small wagers on Harris 330 to 359 electoral votes, and Harris 360+.

Happiness has started early.

I read something by Ian Dunt the other day saying he hopes it's Badenoch because she at least has a genuinely held framework of beliefs, however mad they might be. Whilst Jenrick will say whatever mad shit he thinks will make him popular that day. I think he's right. Badenoch is gonna be mental enough, and she's thoroughly unpleasant to boot.

Aye, I got the impression with this bloke that the line had shifted massively throughout their 20 years together. But centimetre by centimetre so he just kept adjusting to the new normal. He mentions that she is funny and sarcastic, and on the night they met she was stood taking the piss out of him with his mates (you'd never put them together looks wise, so he was quite happy to take it). So I think it started from minute one, and the line never stopped moving.

They cover a lot of stuff very well. They cover some stuff terribly. I've praised them in the past, so I can criticise them too.

Minor spoiler, but it's not a big attack or anything that makes the copper cry. The bloke explains how, when he can see things are escalating, he would go and change into a press stud shirt cos then his clothes wouldn't get ripped. The copper explains that it's the small details of abuse like that, a bloke so defeated that he dresses for a hiding, that get to you rather than the injuries and stuff. Any better job of selling it?

Aye, from the video of her police interview, there's no way she'll change. I assume she's been brought up in a house like that cos a lot of the stuff on the videos where she's laying into him takes place in the kid's playroom and they're around the violence and the swearing.
