Unai Emery’s grandad played in goal for Real Union de Irun. His dad played in goal for Real Union. His son plays in goal for Real Union. He bought Real Union to save a historic club, four-times cup winners. A family responsibility, he calls it. Here’s the story: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

How Aston Villa boss Unai Emery rescued Real Unión, his 'family' club, from ruin
Real Unión are one of LaLiga's founding clubs, but fell on hard times. Enter Unai Emery, one of the world's top coaches, whose family connection to the club spans four generations.

Redstory: my friend got married this weekend so I didn't watch the Arsenal lose, but I did watch a groomsman fall backwards down a hill in a rental suit, which I suppose works as a piece of symbolism

column on how we all got sucked into the cult of Big Polling www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Polling turns politics into one big game. There are too many of them – and that does us no good | Jonathan Liew
Surely that’s the lesson the Reform polling furore should teach us. Politics should be about actually helping people, not mastering the line on a graph, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

The "stop the boats" movement is being driven by the type of English suburban racist who thinks that one black family living in their street is one too many. Yes, it really is as simple as that, and it has been for decades. There is no intellectual depth to this stuff. It is pure, distilled hate.

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work. I've been calling it "Trojan horse propaganda", let's go with that. 1/

Going from "heh, those understat screenshots are familiar" to "Hey! I got a shoutout!" in the space of about 15 seconds was fun Really enjoyed the piece - articulates much better than I could a lot of thoughts I'd had half-baked about the LW situation

NEW: "Though familiarity may not breed contempt, it takes off the edge of admiration.” Gabriel Martinelli and Arsenal are at a crossroads. I think he's better than you think. 🏟️ '30 PL apps' is very deceptive 📊 Underlying numbers still fine 🧪 Hasn't been platformed correctly (Bruno could help)

Hello id like to spend all at once please
4 panel comic. 

Panel 1: A pink blob character in suit tells Forg “you did a good business”

Panel 2: the pink blob in suit hands forg a dollar bill. He says “here is your pay”

Panel 3: forg holds the dollar bill. The man in suit walks off the frame. He reminds forg “don’t spend it all at once”

Panel 4: we see now that forg didn’t really listen to his advice. He stands in front of a building labeled “things you don’t need store”, dollar bill still in hand ready to be spent

Probably Porro. I'd say Bergvall or Gray but we have enough midfielders now with Bruno G scoring

I didnt pick up on that (mostly because I dont think ive heard enough Joe Hart) but I did tune in not long before Egypt's opener and i spent a while thinking it was Shearer lol

This was a lovely thing to be able to do. The community around this club is why the title means so much, and it was so special to hear so many stories from so many different people. Give it a listen to bask in the glory a little longer ❤️

A Premier League title race is never going to be “roses and beautiful music” but it cannot be as hard as it became for Arsenal in the second half. And maybe it won’t be, if Mikel Arteta’s early injury assessment proves to be accurate.

Just need to win 5 and hope it's enough. A terrible place to be considering where we could/should have been, but it feels a more attainable feat than it did before we put in that improved performance.
