Haircut day!

Thursday!

For your No. London Arse this evening, it’s fair to recall that famous New Order lyric about ‘our valued destiny comes to nothing’. Every season, it seems, there’s that one week, that crucial seven-day span, in which the entirety of the Gunners’ campaign goes pear-shaped, and everything good & brilliant & inspiring that the club had produced up to that week just goes ta-ta. Friends of fútbol, that week has now completed its demoralizing destruction, with the Arse now out of the Champions League, and now having to rely on help to get back on terms in the Premiership.

How can you not like this? We don’t even stan the Nueva Jork Janquis — unless, of course, they are defeating the Hotlanta Bravo. However, this kind of sendoff on a win is something that should be immortalized in baseball-broadcast history. Best wishes, John Sterling!

Tough day for the Gunners & their Gooners. Nevertheless, #COYG! Manifest a Munich miracle this week!

BestLine Racing Society Nightcap:

Los Alamitos to complete your weekend here…

Nothing like the instant-win outcome, especially when it’s your team doing the triumphing. Ring the bell!

Down for a while, but hoping for a swift recovery now…

It was a pulsating first leg of your UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie between your No. London Arse & FC Bayern Munchen. The host Gunners took an early lead on a Bukayo Saka strike, and then succumbed to a pair of defensive lapses to fall behind 1-2. But super-sub Leandro Trossard leveled the contest by converting a perfect setup pass from another super-sub, Gabriel Jesus — scrub on over to the 7:17 mark here to see that buildup. That concluded the scoring on the evening, and next week’s second leg in Germany will decide which club advances; it all hangs in the balance! #COYG

Hey! How was that eclipse experience for yourself?

As many reactionaries will gleefully report, urban areas are disintegrating right before our eyes. Here’s an example of the decay, degradation & deterioration from La-La Land, known to most residents of Planet Earth as Los Angeles, Southern California. Devolution!
