Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Whether it’s in the UK or the USA or seemingly elsewhere, why do the centre / left allow the far right to set all the talking points. 020
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Genuinely not sure what those Arsenal subs are meant to change 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 18/09/2026So Brighton, flying in the premier league, home to Arsenal. And it’s not allowed to be shown on TV in the UK. I realise there are ways around it, but the fact that I could legally (and cheaply) watch the game in almost any other country apart from the one it’s taking place in is absurd. 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I’ve watched Max Dowman’s first goal about seven times and I still can’t work out what he does with his feet to hypnotise the Ipswich defender on the edge of the box. #Arsenal 010
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Five minutes?? They took about five minutes with the goal 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 13/09/2026That Man City goal is offside every day of the week. Fernandez clearly tries to play the ball and it impacts the United defender 011
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Sunderland took way, way longer to take that throw that Calafiori when the ref awarded it the other way 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Why are the commentators talking about this as if Konsa has committed an obvious foul and completely ignoring Ballard pulling Konsa by the shirt? 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Of course, Ballard is allowed to elbow players in the head, just ask Merino. 020
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 12/09/2026That clearance by Xhaka on the stroke of half time was so fortunate. If Havertz got there a fraction of a second earlier that’s a penalty. 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 09/09/202615yo made pancakes last night. His first one landed on the floor when he flipped it. What did he do? a. Cleaned it up b. Ate it c. Left it there and put a tea towel on top of it It’s C, obviously. I asked him why, he said he ‘didn’t know what else to do’. 010
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Made a comment on Instagram; got a warning saying it might break rules. Then another warning saying it was similar to posts that get reported. Then a final ‘are you sure?’ when I eventually posted it. #Arsenal 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Really not sure who to choose as MOTM today, possibly Havertz? #Arsenal 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Palmer lucky there, he could have been booked for the foul on MLS earlier. #Arsenal 040
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Don’t think that I’m imagining this but any little touch on a Chelsea player is a foul 010
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 05/09/2026BBC live text in football matches is a great way to find out what’s happening in a game without getting any idea whatsoever what’s actually going on. 010
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026That’s a 100% penalty, foul on Guimaraes. You can’t take the player with one foot then the ball with the other. #Arsenal 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026What the hell was the ref doing there? Two Villa players standing 5 yards from an Arsenal free kick and no attempt to move them. 120
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 31/08/20268 minutes? Genuinely where did that come from? #Arsenal 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Havertz demonstrating why Arsenal bought Gyokeres last year 010
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Might regret saying this but Villa are a shit team with a lot of passion, rather than a half decent team with a lot of passion like they were last year. #Arsenal #Villa 100
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026MLS is really fucking good, like properly good. If Anderson is worth £120m then so is MLS. #Arsenal 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Any adult who calls himself ‘Matty’ is clearly a dick. #Arsenal #Villa 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Playing Pictionary this evening, this was my daughter’s drawing for President 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Reacher is a lot of fun but this season has reached peak silliness. 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The movie Clue has the best ‘several people running into each other’ scene in the history of cinema. RIP Tim Curry 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Through his legs or literally straight through him, leaving a circular hole? 010
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Surely the whole ‘Arsenal might sell Lewis-Skelly’ thing is a nonsense, especially when linked with ‘Man Utd need a left back’? MLS is not a left back, certainly not a £50m one. In central midfield he’d be an absolute steal at that price. Sell Zubimendi before him. 010
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Looking forward to all the pundits complaining that Arsenal are taking short corners which is against the spirit of the game. 1394
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Still pondering, a month on, why the hell Thomas Tuchel’s response to England sitting back too much against Argentina was to *bring on extra defenders* What did he think would happen?? 010
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 15/08/2026For any journalists struggling to know how hard to press Farage and Reform on their suspicious funding from criminals and overseas interests, just imagine they are a black professor who might have slightly exaggerated his achievements. 031
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Have known this song for 50 or so years but I’ve only just noticed how weird and brilliant Ringo’s drumming is at the start of Hey Jude. You could have asked 100 other drummers to play along to that and none of them come up with that drum intro. 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 07/08/202615yo the other day “Dad we’ve run out of bowls” Me “There’s a couple in the dishwasher. Have you looked in your room?” 15yo “Yeah, there are none in there” Me - checks 15yo’s room. Reader, there were five bowls in his room. 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I think there’s a tipping point for people who have died. Have they become more well known for their abhorrent views than their primary vocation? One side of this line is Rod Liddle, the other side is Jeremy Clarkson (not dead yet, for clarity). 010
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Was in a pub the other day. Hot day so most people were outside, I just went in to order. I walked to the bar and a woman I passed said ‘excuse me, there’s a queue here’. The queue was one person at the bar and her behind. There was no one else at the bar at all. Is this normal now? 200
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Nigel is not a unique name. That Making Plans t-shirt could refer to any Nigel. People are just assuming it’s referring to the traitorous, racist, perpetually whining friend of Russia Nigel Farage rather than, say, Nigel Planer or Nigel Havers. 100
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Disappointing to see how little Andy Burnham has achieved as PM in his first couple of weeks. Liz Truss had managed to kill the Queen by this point. 000
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 19/07/2026(Quoting because I can’t reply) Found out recently that the current AI team in the civil service is absolutely not a tech bro cheerleading dept, they are looking at risks, controls, benefits, and making sure it doesn’t kill us all. 020
Chris @dukeofprunes.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I think that Tuchel will leave the England job before the Euros. Players were absolutely gutted about his tactical blunders against Argentina and I suspect he’s lost the dressing room. 000
