Hi friends!

I just popped back from my self-imposed break to say that I read the Arsenal feature in the Athletic that some of my socials are being insane about, and it was just a cookie cutter "Good team in disarray???" piece.

Aitana Bonmati and Ella Stevens look alike

I wrote about the Ballon d'Or, how I felt watching yesterday's game without gastrointestinal relief, and 2 Bears.

And I didn't even mention Ella Stevens probably being the rightful BdO winner.

I think you can pinpoint exactly where the separation is where I'm proud of what I wrote, and I just wanted to hit publish.

The funny thing is with tier 3, it's a nice mix of "these are top-notch talent evaluators" and "oh...yeah that makes sense they don't have analytic staff"
